Yanmar YM225 24.4 HP Compact Tractor with R4 Industrial Tires and Loader

Description

Yanmar YM225 Loader Tractor on R4 Industrial Tires

The YM225GXI-TL equips the YM225 with the YL405 loader and 72-inch bucket on R4 industrial tires. It is the YM225 configuration best suited to material handling on gravel and hard ground, from spreading driveway stone to moving pallets and clearing snow.

Loader Work on Hard Ground

R4 tires resist the sideways loads of a full bucket during turns and wear well on hard surfaces. The YL405 lifts 1,500 pounds at the pivot pin and reaches 88.3 inches, enough to load a pickup bed or small dump trailer.

• Gross engine power: 24.4 HP (18.2 kW) at 2,400 RPM
• PTO power: 18.5 HP (13.8 kW)
• Transmission: Synchronized Reverser Transmission (SRT)
• Tire Type: R4 Industrial
• Operator station: Open Station
• Loader: YL405-YM2P
• Loader Lift Capacity: 1,500 lbs at pivot pin
• Loader Bucket Width: 72 in. (1,829 mm) bucket

Snow Clearing

Industrial tires grip well on packed snow, and the 72-inch bucket clears a full lane in one pass. Adding rear ballast or a rear blade improves traction and balance in winter.

Adding a Rear Remote

A single rear remote valve is available as an option on the YM2, adding hydraulic flow at the back for implements such as a hydraulic angle blade.

A Compact Loader for 25 to 45 Acres

Yanmar positions the YM2 Series for properties of roughly 25 to 45 acres, and the YM225 with a loader is the entry point: enough lift for gravel, firewood and feed, with a 10.5-gallon tank for long days. Its 2,800-pound operating weight keeps it steady on hard ground without being too heavy for smaller trailers.

Tools for Gravel Drives

The YM225 is well matched to Yanmar’s YGB205 grader blade and YBB205 box scraper, which keep gravel lanes crowned and fill potholes. Pairing a rear blade with the loader lets one tractor spread new stone and grade it in the same session, and the blade’s weight on the hitch also helps balance the loader.

Choosing a Loader YM225

Choose the YM225GXI-TL for hard-surface loader work. The YM225GXT-TL suits lawns, and the YM232GXI-TL offers more power.
