Yanmar 96″ Land Grader

Description

Yanmar YLG318 96-Inch Land Grader for Utility Tractors

The YLG318 is Yanmar’s largest land grader, an 8-foot tool for utility tractors from about 40 to 90 HP. It is built for farm roads, equipment yards and commercial-scale grading where a wide finish pass saves significant time.

Built for Bigger Tractors

At about 582 pounds, it uses a heavy square-tube beam with formed steel side panels, two parallel blades at a 10-degree angle, and depth adjustment from level to one and a half inches through the skid shoes. The hitch accepts both Category 1 and Category 2, suiting a wide range of utility tractors. The main beam spans an overall width of 100 inches, so storage and transport space should be planned in advance.

• Hitch: Category 1 & 2
• Suggested tractor size: 40 to 90 HP
• Approximate weight: 582 lbs

Road Maintenance

On long farm roads, grading when the surface is slightly damp lets the material knit together as it settles. Working the crown back into the center after winter keeps water off the road surface. Grading after a light rain rather than a heavy one gives the best balance of workability and compaction.

Choosing the Largest Grader

Pick the YLG318 for utility tractors and large-scale maintenance. Compact tractors are better matched to the 72-inch YLG216 or 60-inch YLG215.
