Yanmar V Series — the smallest class in Yanmar's wheel-loader lineup

The V Series covers three models in the database: V1-1A, V2-3B and V3-7S, at 12.5 to 18.9 kW and consistently three-cylinder engines — the smallest size class in the manufacturer's wheel-loader lineup. Yanmar has built wheel loaders since 1975 by its own account and positions the V line as the entry class for jobs where a compact wheel loader suffices instead of heavy jobsite equipment.

This size class is defined by a compact build with a narrow transport width and a low centre of gravity, easing manoeuvring in tight yards, barns or greenhouses where larger wheel loaders simply wouldn't fit.

Machines in this class accordingly see most use in agriculture, municipal services, and landscaping — anywhere manoeuvrability and low weight matter more than high payload.

For a used small wheel loader in this class, pay particular attention to the articulation joint and centre pin, as well as the tyres, which wear unevenly under frequent switching between yard and field work.

In short: the V Series isn't the technological spearhead but the lower end of Yanmar's wheel-loader range — compact, simple, and built for tight working environments.
