Yanmar Tractors Rumor!!

[Calpyro]

Bob,
I don't know how many HP. I saw the tractor when I was doing about 60mph. The crawler had a cab and was doing sprying. My buddy said that this tractor was 54" wide and if this project is a sucess, they would produce a 48" wide tractor for narrower applications

80 HP if I recall correctly.

I'll try to get over to the vinyards tractor yard this weekend and get some photos. It sounds like it will be used in the vinyards until then.

News would be good if true. With the JD contract going away and the fact there is a steady flow of 20 year old tractors already comming in why not try to make some money on new tractors.

I have been trying to post a picture of the Yanmar. Does anybody know how to compress the photo to allow it to fit the 100000 maximum?

Re-size the photo.
Change aspect ratio: height and width.
Or change pixel counts.

Guess JD will have to go back to Mexico.

Right now JD gets their 2210, 4110, 790, and 990 from Yanmar. The 4210 through 4710 only use Yanmar engines. I will be interesting to see how they handle this. The X90 series is their no frills tractor that competes with tractor such as the NH TC30. I suppose they could still use the Yanmar engines. I believe Yanmar supplies engines to either Century or Branson, so simply supplying just engines is not out of the question.

Yanmar supplies engines to a huge list of companies. They are really big in the marine business.

First, I hope it is not too small
