Also hits loader numbers (825 lb lift, 1,342 lb breakout, 71-inch height), dimensions, weight, and a price comparison between the two generations. No hands-on footage or real-world use, it's a talking-points overview best suited to shoppers still researching whether the SA-223 is worth the upgrade cost.
Tractor Bob's is a certified Yanmar dealership, so this is a sales-leaning walkaround that also promotes their own SA-221 closeout inventory.
The SA223 adds a two-speed hydrostatic transmission, a rear differential lock engaged by the heel pedal, and a true three-point position control system with a height setting knob.
The loader has an 825 pound lift capacity, 1,342 pounds of breakout force, and a maximum lift height of 71 inches, all measured at the pivot pin.
Dealers sell the SA221 for 14,000 to 14,988 dollars, while the SA223 typically costs about 1,500 to 2,000 dollars more depending on availability and local pricing.
Pin the boom legs down, remove the two pins at the loader frame base, push the joystick down while uncurling the bucket, then disconnect and cap the hydraulic couplers.
