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.

yanmar is now solis

[@finniganshomestead2956]

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.

It’s all in the marketing I guess. I looked at them all, and IMO the Yanmar quality is the leader. And with a 10 year warranty, how could you go wrong. I live my SA425

[@rebrus1930]

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

[@highlandoffgrid]

Great little tractors eh?

[@TxGuitarPlayer]

Nice. I will be looking at the sa425 soon

[@highlandoffgrid]

I’m happy with this machine.

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.

[@highlandoffgrid]

I actually have a hydraulic top link but haven’t installed it yet. But you’re right.

@@highlandoffgrid You don't have to use the brake wire thingy if you don't want, press the brake pedal and hold it, then pull up the handle and let off the brake and it will hold it. To release, just tap the brake pedal.

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.

[@orion3267]

I also have the forks.

[@highlandoffgrid]

Right on
