After nearly 30 years, 2021 marks the return of Yanmar America’s classic YM3 tractor series, operating in the 42 to 59 horsepower range. This series features tractors for the next generation of traditionalists - those looking for the features, benefits, and 10-year warranty associated with the Yanmar brand, with a nod to their family tractor from years past.

The original YM3 series tractors were referred to as “the over achievers” – and with features like 540 economy PTO, 2,500lb lift capacity, and Yanmar’s proven performance link technology – that legacy continues with the YM359.
