Read articles →This is a 54-year John Deere owner explaining why he switched brands, not a spec-sheet walkaround. He compares his new Yanmar YT359C directly against John Deere's 4052R/4066R on price ($48,673 out-the-door), lift capacity, PTO horsepower, weight, wheelbase, hydraulic flow, and warranty (10-year vs 3-5 year), and details his added options. Best for cross-shoppers weighing Yanmar against John Deere on real numbers rather than first-impression footage.
Posted by an individual longtime John Deere owner giving a personal, opinionated comparison after buying a Yanmar, so expect owner bias favoring his new purchase.
His Yanmar YT359C drive-out price with added options was $48,673, about a $30,000 savings compared to the comparable John Deere models.
Rear three-point hitch lift is 3,307 lbs on the Yanmar versus 3,130 lbs on the John Deere, and 2,756 lbs versus 2,500 lbs at 24 inches out.
The Yanmar YT359C comes with a 10-year drivetrain warranty, compared to the John Deere's 3-year and 5-year warranty options.
Without a front end loader or fluid in the tires, the Yanmar weighs 4,442 lbs compared to 3,770 lbs for the John Deere.
