They cover removing the grill guard, routing hydraulic lines and the oil cooler, connecting a pre-wired PTO connector, and measuring lift height (22 inches). Useful for owners curious whether this rare Yanmar option is worth requesting from a dealer.
An enthusiast/DIY channel run by an owner (with a helper, Dave) documenting their own project tractor, so expect genuine hands-on experimentation rather than a dealer sales pitch.
It comes directly from the crankshaft of the engine rather than through the transmission, which means almost no horsepower loss compared to a parasitic draw through a gearbox.
They call it far simpler than most anything else they have done. Nothing had to be fabricated, routing was straightforward, and the tractor already had the connector and correct length hydraulic lines.
Measured all the way up, it is 22 inches to the center of the ball on concrete, so it would be lower with tire lugs or different tires.
No, it is not currently sold in the USA. The video suggests asking your dealer to express interest and feed that back to Yanmar to help gauge demand.
