There was some info posted in another thread stating that the YT359 posted weights included the FEL and ballast in the tires. I guess the logic on that assumption was the listed weight says it includes fluid, and all of them come with FEL and ballast. There was some back and forth in the thread and I didn't want to continue to pollute that thread so posting this one.
I have a new YT359C and really wanted a solid answer on this since eventually I'll need to tow it. I reached out to Yanmar and verified that the published weight does not include ballast or FEL.
In my case the tractor weight:
Tractor - 4442 lbs
Ballast - 1100 lbs
Loader w/bucket - 1096 lbs
Total - 6638 lbs
The listed width of the tractor is 71.7", that is with the wheels in the narrowest position, they can be moved 7.7" wider putting the overall width at 78.8"
Hope this helps clarify a few things for anyone looking at the Yanmar YT3
