Yanmar YT: collective page of Japanese tractors YT235, YT359 and YT490, three- and four-cylinder diesels, 35 to 66 kW (26 to 90 hp), range since 2014
The YT range from Yanmar has been built in Japan since 2014 and spans in the register from the compact YT235 to the YT490; Yanmar, founded in Osaka in 1912, ranks among Japan's most established makers of engines and farm machinery and is known in particular for its compact, high-revving diesel engines. Yanmar develops and builds these diesel engines in-house, which allows a close match between engine and transmission.

The register lists 3 versions with 35 to 66 kW (26 to 90 hp) from three- and four-cylinder diesel engines of 1,642 to 3,318 cm³ and lift capacities of 1,300 to 3,300 kg, at rated speeds of 2,500 to 2,800 rpm; with a cab, weights range from 1,110 to 2,060 kg and heights from 2,080 to 2,310 mm.
Compact Japanese tractors such as the YT range are designed for smaller holdings, orchard and vegetable growing, and municipal applications, where manoeuvrability and a frugal, high-revving diesel engine matter; Yanmar competes in this segment with Kubota and Iseki.
When buying used, condition of the high-revving diesel engine including injection and cooling, the clutch and gearbox, and the hydraulics and lift all matter; spare parts run through the Yanmar dealer network. On machines used in municipal service, the implement mounts and hydraulic hoses also belong on the checklist.
