50 Hour Review of 2023 Yanmar SA425

[@orion3267]

Got my SA 425 with backhoe, pallet forks and snow plow in March. Love it.

I have a sa324 now going on 3 1/2 years haven't had any problems at all I've moved hundreds of yards of dirt and rocks. Love working this machine everybody needs one of these things

I just got my SA425 from PR Equipment in Canton, TX. Nick was fantastic and even ended up delivering the tractor to our home for us in the middle of the day because of scheduling issues and he wanted to get it to us as quick as possible after financing went through. I got the rear auxiliary hydraulic hook up for the back, a hydraulic top link, and got all of the skid plates. I really wanted to get the skid steer quick attach for the bucket but the price just didn't justify it. I grabbed some pallet forks off of amazon to clamp onto the bucket and I feel like I will get a ton of work done with those until I get the skid steer setup later on.

I been dealing with Cody in canton,im still on the fence between a 425 or kubota 2501..tough decision

I am about to purchase one. I've done all the reading, watching, research and knew what brand I was going with. I stumbled on your video hoping it would solidify my choice. Not only did it do that, but I appreciated your honesty and delivery. Liked and subscribed.

200 hours on mine. Capable little tractor. I've definitely needed more power at times but its a sub/compact tractor. only real issue i had was a pinhole in a hydraulic hose from the factory. shows they don't really test the equipment before shipping it out. I brought the hose to an industrial mechanic and he told me the hoses are the cheapest things on the market. so thats not good. Also needed to buy a auger specifically designed for a sub compact tractor to dig 36" holes. this tractor doesn't have the rear lift capacity to pull a generic auger out of a 36" red clay hole.

I have the 325. I like it a lot. I mainly got it to cut my yard (belly mower) maintain gravel driveway and to have pallet forks which I don’t know how I lived without it.

I just hit 50hrs on my SA 325 and am very happy with it. I wonder if you are missing the bracket for the level indicator? I have not had any problems with mine and have been moving dirt and brush. I have found the indicator to be very helpful.

Beware of the steel shipping containers. They get insanely hot inside during the summer and hold high humidity. Any metals prone to rusting, quickly succumb. Mine even had a vent hole on one end at floor level and a roof turbine on it at opposite end. Helped only a little. I got rid of it after a couple of years.

What size cutter ?

[@farley1899]

Drill a small hole to let water drain out

[@mitchlong3601]

Would you recommend a Yanmar over Kubota? I'm shopping right now. Thank you

[@darylgass9532]

How wide is the mower ?

[@dannypalmer7701]

Nice place! 😊

[@kennethhazellief6427]

Can I ask you about your PTO noise? I just bought at 2024 SA 425 that PTO is really noisy. With no load or anything hooked to it.

[@MrB.AndAuntLibby]

So you paid $19,000 and that includes front end loader and bucket?

[@dannypalmer7701]

Whats the deal whith 50 hours.? When im gonna use it from sun up to sundown every day?

[@orion3267]

It’s the first 50 hours per the manufacturer and every 200 after that. My guess for the first 50 hours is because of being new machinery and wearing of the new parts for possible metal in the system. They normally don’t ship new tractors to the dealerships filled with fluids. It’s up to the dealers to top everything off. But most companies know they’re lazy and don’t do what they’re supposed to. So they come up with the 50 hour break in maintenance change and 200-300 hours after that depending on model.

[@777smitty4]

50 hrs is your fist fluid and filter change

[@jasperedwards2713]

it looks like a solis

[@haraldmoeller-cp6nj]
