Yanmar YM225 24.4 HP Compact Tractor with R4 Industrial Tires

Description

Yanmar YM225 Compact Tractor on R4 Industrial Tires

The YM225GXI is Yanmar’s 24.4 HP YM225 on R4 industrial tires, with no loader fitted. It gives owners of small farms and rural properties a gear-drive compact that wears well on gravel, pavement and hard-packed farmyards, while still gripping in dirt.

Industrial Tires on a Utility Compact

R4 tires combine a wide footprint with stiff sidewalls, so they resist the side loads of rear blades and box scrapers and hold up to travel on hard surfaces. That makes this version a good base for owners who plan to add the YL405 loader later or who maintain long gravel drives.

• 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

The SRT Transmission

The synchronized reverser changes direction without stopping, and eight forward gears let the operator pick the right speed for each job. A dry single-plate clutch is simple and durable, and it lasts longest when used for starts and stops rather than for slipping the tractor at low speed.

Implements That Suit It

Yanmar’s YGB205 grader blade, YBB205 box scraper and YLR205 landscape rake are all sized for the YM225’s power and track, making them natural partners for driveway maintenance and yard work.

Why Choose Gear Drive Over Hydrostatic

Hydrostatic tractors are easier to learn, but a gear-drive transmission like the SRT delivers more of the engine’s power to the wheels and PTO, and it runs cooler under long, steady loads such as grading a lane or pulling a box blade across a pad. For owners who expect to spend hours at a time on one task rather than constant back-and-forth, the YM2’s gear drive is an efficient, durable choice.

Choosing the YM225GXI

Choose the YM225GXI for gravel and hard-surface work. The YM225GXA offers R1 tires for field use, and the YM225GXI-TL adds the loader from the factory.
