Yanmar 1 cylinder diesel tractor

[YanmarFever]

I have owned 4 of those rototillers (singles) the lights, horn, and batterys all worked, two of them had electric start.
They will pull a car thats stuck in the mud out. They would start when it was 25 degrees outside and run for hours on a half a gallon of diesel.
Unfortunately I had to sell them when I moved, also they are DANGEROUS, if you slip and fall under one while its in reverse, you can kiss it goodbye.

Oh, and Yanmar took the 1-cly Walk-Behind into a mini track crawler/dozer. This is a merger of their MGC100 and a walk-behind tractor.

Wow, that thing looks like fun!

My Cub Cadet is a monster of a rear rototiller. Looking at the Yanmar machines, those are a tad bigger. Yes, reverse wouldn't be fun knowing the power the diesels have. If I recall, some of the Yanmars had 3 or 4 speeds forward and 1 slow reverse.

Are those the same thing as the little tractors used to pull a road trailer in Asia? (Photos).

I love that crawler. I tried to buy that power unit, with the single headlight at an auction, not that long ago. That design is copied by a bunch of manufacturers.

I stopped in to look at the YM122 today. It looks a bit like a garden tractor. It is small but it has 4 wheels like a lawn mower. It is one cylinder with a glow plug. Two wheel drive. He has a Yanmar 3 pt grader blade, maybe 4 feet. It has a Woods PTO finish mower, maybe 4 feet. Also a rototiller, I think that is Yanmar also.
I am not computer literate. I tried to take photos with my flip phone and did not do it correctly. I think I got some on my camera but really am not good about transferring them but I will try in the next day or so.
I was told the mower and rototiller PTO runs in reverse compared to US ones. I would say the 3 pt is a Cat O.

Here's the TractorData page for YM122.

TractorData.com Yanmar YM122 tractor information

1983~87, 12 hp, Cat 0, 2000 rpm PTO. No mention of reversed PTO, but that PTO speed would mean special implements if that is accurate.

Yep, now we are seeing something that could have front and rear wheel weights like the op posted.

That was quite a bit of money back then. I only paid $3000 used for my Yanmar 336d with a loader and rear blade back about then.
I suspect he was incorrect about the reverse PTO, maybe he meant an unusual PTO speed of not 540 or 1000. Not sure the unit would really be of any value to me especially with the rototiller gear box leak and the mower needing bearings etc. Thanks for all the responses.

It may look like one of these ...

I think your missing his point. If it has front and rear wheel weights it would have four or at least three wheels, why would you will behind something like that? I guess you could cause I'm no expert on Yanmar or walk behind tractors.
