Yanmar SA425 - 25 hour update. Loving this 25hp compact tractor

I’ve been working my Yanmar SA425 compact tractor for nearly 30 hours now. I’ve found it comfortable, capable, reliable and a trusty companion.

When shopping for Kubota, John Deere, Massey, TYM or otherwise, don’t sleep on Yanmar as an option. I’m impressed so far.

I have no idea why they are not more popular. I have a YM235 and have just north of 700 hours on it in 2 years with zero issues. It punches way above it weight and i don't baby the thing. Use it around the homestead and for logging.

I like the tractor but I will need a cab with ac and heat…. But basically every tractor is the same… with some little differences …cause John Deere is built mostly over seas… not even American made…. The biggest difference is the cost….15-20 grand less than John Deere and kabota….

Use those rear remotes, and get a hydraulic top link, game changer for the landscape rake, you can change the angle on it easily with one.

In my experience, which is admittedly very little, Yanmar engines love running on the ragged edge.
My family has owned a JD 650 with the 2cyl Yanmar, bought new in the 80's. It's spent every cutting season since with a finishing mower cutting four acres at wide open throttle, 3k rpm. Besides yearly maintenance (fluids and filters), we've had zero issue with it.
I really hope these newer Yanmars live up to that expectation.

Not built to run low RPM. Best tractor for the money

I've got a 424, 75hrs, love it, no issues.

Nice. I have the Yanmar 425 as well with the bucket, backhoe, and snowplow. What’s interesting I’m seeing is, I must be the only 425 owner with no rear 3rd function hydraulics. Mine didn’t come with it when I purchased it.
