Yanmar 72″ Finish Mower

Description

Yanmar YFM206 72-Inch Finish Mower for Compact Tractors

The YFM206 gives a compact tractor a full 6-foot finish cut. It is aimed at estates, sports fields, churchyards and rural properties with large areas of lawn to keep looking tidy.

Wide Cut, Floating Deck

The rear-discharge deck rides on 10-inch caster wheels and mounts with a floating top link, so it follows dips and rises rather than scalping them. Cutting height ranges from about 0.75 to 5.25 inches. At roughly 670 pounds, it is heavier than the 60-inch model, so tractors at the lower end of the power range should be matched with care. A wider mower also magnifies an uneven hitch setting, so leveling the deck side to side is worth doing before the first cut.

• Cutting Width: 72
• Cutting Height: .75″-5.25″ adjustable bushings
• Discharge Location: Rear
• Hitch: Category 1
• PTO Speed: 540 rpm
• Suggested tractor size: 20 to 60 HP
• Approximate weight: 670 lbs

Blade Care on a Wide Deck

A 72-inch deck spins three blades, and a single dull one leaves a visible ragged strip, so sharpen and balance them as a set.

Choosing Between 60 and 72 Inches

Pick the YFM206 when the lawn is open and the tractor has the size to carry it. Properties with trees, beds and tight corners are usually better served by the 60-inch YFM205.
