Read articles →This is a new owner's detailed, opinionated walkaround of a Yanmar YT359, framed as constant comparison to his John Deere 4520 (and past Kubota/Grandale experience). He points out specifics: steering rod placement, loader pin design, third-function hydraulics, missing onboard toolbox, weaker three-point sway arms, exposed cylinders, gas tank location, and adjustable wheel spacing. No ground engagement or operation demo yet; he promises a follow-up video for that.
Posted by an owner-operator comparing his new Yanmar directly against his own John Deere experience, so expect brand comparisons rather than neutral coverage.
No, it does not come with onboard storage from the factory. You can buy a console piece, but it still has no lockable storage, so the owner plans to modify it to hold a toolbox.
The sway control arms are not as good as a John Deere, and the bar is nowhere near as heavy duty as the one on his John Deere 4520.
Yes, the wheels have adjustable spacing by flipping the plate around for a wider wheelbase, with about a half dozen possible configurations, at no extra cost.
It is not like a normal hydrostatic transmission and puts power to the ground similar to a gear drive. He pulled a two bottom plow and a heavy disc with it successfully.
