Read articles →A dealer rep visits a customer's property in Loudonville, Ohio to walk through the YM347's specs and share impressions from an actual food-plot job, brush hogging, york raking, tilling, fertilizing, and overseeding. Covers loader capacity, hydraulic flow, PTO, three-point, and the eight-speed gear drive, plus a direct price-and-horsepower comparison to Kubota and John Deere. Best for shoppers weighing the YM against mainstream brands, though the tone is openly promotional.
Posted by the Holmes Rental & Sales channel, which sells Yanmar equipment, so the enthusiastic brand advocacy and price comparisons reflect a sales perspective.
The tractor comes with 2,500 pounds of lifting capacity at the knuckles on the quick touch front end, which can interchange with skid loader attachments.
The YM347 outperforms them in PTO horsepower and price point. You would have to knock ten horsepower off a John Deere or Kubota to get close to that price.
It was used to brush hog, york rake with a 424, till with the YM347, fertilize, lime, lightly agitate the soil, and overseed with a rye cover crop.
It has an eight-speed Ford transmission, manual eight-speed reverse with a synchronizer, letting you flip between forward and reverse as you go.
