Yanmar YM232 31.8 HP Compact Tractor with R4 Industrial Tires

Description

Yanmar YM232 Compact Tractor on R4 Industrial Tires

The YM232GXI is Yanmar’s 31.8 HP YM232 on R4 industrial tires with no loader. It suits rural owners whose tractor spends its time on gravel lanes, farmyards and hard-packed ground, and it is a strong base for adding a loader later. Its 10.5-gallon diesel tank covers long days of grading.

Driveway and Lane Maintenance

The YM232 is well matched to Yanmar’s YLG215 land grader, which Yanmar rates for 25 to 50 HP, and its YGB206 grader blade. Working a gravel lane from the edges toward the center rebuilds the crown so water sheds to the ditches, and the land grader’s twin blades then smooth the surface to a finish a single blade rarely achieves.

• Gross engine power: 31.8 HP (23.7 kW) at 2,600 RPM
• PTO power: 25.5 HP (19.0 kW)
• Transmission: Synchronized Reverser Transmission (SRT)
• Tire Type: R4 Industrial
• Operator station: Open Station

R4 Tires on Hard Ground

Industrial tread wears slowly on gravel and pavement and has stiff sidewalls that resist the side forces of an angled rear blade. At about 2,866 pounds, with 10.6 inches of ground clearance, the YM232 carries heavy rear implements without feeling light at the front.

Snow Season

A rear blade on the three-point hitch, which lifts 2,205 pounds at the lift arm ends, clears drives in winter, and R4 tires grip well on packed snow. Backing through drifts with the blade reversed pulls snow away from garage doors.

Coverage

Yanmar covers the YM232 for 24 months or 2,000 hours, with powertrain coverage of 10 years or 3,000 hours for non-commercial use, which suits owners planning to keep a tractor for many seasons.

Choose the YM232GXI for hard-ground work and lane maintenance. The YM232GXA suits fields, the YM232GXT protects turf, and the YM232GXI-TL adds the YL405 loader.
