Brand siblingYanmar YM160
The Yanmar YM160 is a small utility tractor designed for light farm work. It has a 2-wheel drive system, which means it's best suited for flat or gently sloping land. The tractor is powered by a Yanmar diesel engine that produces 10 horsepower. This engine power is very low compared to most tractors, making it ideal for small tasks around the farm. One unique feature of the YM160 is its air-cooled engine. This type of cooling system is simpler than water-cooled engines and can be easier to maintain. The tractor also has a hand crank starter, which is an older starting method that doesn't need a battery. While this might require more effort to start, it can be reliable in cold weather. Overall, the Yanmar YM160 is a basic, no-frills tractor best suited for small farms or as a backup machine for light duties.
