Why I Bought a Yanmar

[@scottharris1125]

I’m right there with you buddy.Getting older,I get out of breath fast and need the help the loader gives me now.I bought the same tractor you got and really love it.Hang in there brother and keep staying busy.From NC.

[@PaulOtis]

Right on! Thanks for watching!

[@luisl.lascari1530]

Me too brothers in LAREDO TEXAS, thinking about buying one,I'm 61 now,and get tired faster ❤

[@farmer9180]

Bought a SA223 couple of months ago and love it. I am 80 years old so I use it for everything. Sure beats a wheel borrow and spade for moving dirt.

[@PaulOtis]

I know right. I've got more things done this past year than I have in the 5 years before! Thanks for watching.

[@keithinthemountains6450]

Glad I found your channel! I am a beekeeper and would love to have a Yanmar like yours! Looks like you are really enjoying!!!

[@PaulOtis]

I'm glad you found me as well! I am indeed enjoying it, and love all the tasks I have accomplished because I am able to use it. Thanks so very much for watching.

Good morning Paul, good morning Josh, good looking tractor.

[@PaulOtis]

Morning! Thanks Joey!

Thanks for the video. Seems like a good Machine. I have a sub-compact Massey Ferguson (Model 1710 FEL & Backhoe, 2,668 lbs) bought new about 20 years ago. In my tough Michigan clay soil I found that an added tooth bar really helped dig into the earth. It was like $109 & has been a really helpful add on, along with clamp on forks for the loader bucket when I needed to move bulky lighter weight stuff. I'm just an amateur but these two inexpensive add-ons helped a lot! This machine seems to be a bout 20% heavier than mine from the specs I read. I know on my next machine I will add a rear weight box. Your machine might be a good little upgrade for me as I don't want to get too big & heavy. --I still have my Father's old 1969 Cub Cadet 12hp Garden Tractor, just a little tyke, but boy it can sure clear a 1/5 mile of 6-iinch snow on my street with chains and 78 lbs of windshield washer fluid plus 50 lbs of those old iron wheel weights in the rear tires!! (--Yes I weighed the tires to prove it!!)! --The tires spin, the chains catch, and she moves the snow!!---Both good machines and solid metal components, if you know what I mean... Cheers!!

[@PaulOtis]

Thanks for watching, and for sharing your story! Both are appreciated!

[@davidguntren4487]

I like the square bodies on the 70's Yanmar. Also the green paint

[@ClickinChicken]

I totally get it! Like you said In earlier video, practice makes perfect! work smart not hard. Takes the lifting off.

[@PaulOtis]

Absolutely!! It feels good to get out and do things again. :) Thanks Brian!

[@rogered5499]

I have a Yanmar SA424. I love it. Works great

[@billmitchell7731]

Like number 6 Paul. Yes I liked this video 👍🏻👍🏻. I did the song Smoky mountain rain. Not my best singing 🤣 Watch for it in a few days 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤝

[@PaulOtis]

Thanks Bill,, I will watch for it!

[@bullboss7698]

I bought one back in July. Best bang for the buck in tractors. Love It!

[@PaulOtis]

Really enjoying it here! Thanks!

[@SMZ9D850]

Great video! What are your thoughts on the turf tires vs the R4 industrial? Was curious how turf tires would be in winter with snow removal etc... probably not too much difference.

[@PaulOtis]

One thing about turf tires in snow, they tend to float instead of biting. Next year I want to put chains on the front tires as well. In small snowfalls, there is no difference at all. Thanks for watching!

I have a SA 424 Yanmar with backhoe and third function for grapple . It has about 270 hours and is a 2020. I love the strength of the backhoe and loader I don’t like the lack of a Low range. Yes it has a high and a low but for me the low is more like a medium. I am going to sell mine for a 3 Range or a gear drive with a shuttle.

[@PaulOtis]

You do loose a bit of power with the Hydrostatic. I've not experienced the low range issue, but I've not driven a geared tractor since the 80's when I had my John Deere B.

[@smalltownMainer]

cant go wrong with a yanmar, they have been making engines and tractors for some time now. i have an 87 yanmar 226d. it works well. its similar to the jd 750, it to holds its value, & from what i found online it was aprox 3k less than the jd because its not green. (when new)

[@PaulOtis]

Very true! I have been very happy so far with the Yanmar, it is allowing me to do things that I just can't do manually any longer. Thanks!

[@finniganshomestead2956]

I have had a YT 235 for a while now. got over 600 hours on it without a problem so far and it is punching way above its weight.

[@PaulOtis]

Thanks for watching!

[@billgyrotech]

First thing in the morning on an empty stomach have 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. It may help with reducing your weight and improve your health. Good luck and thanks for sharing.

[@PaulOtis]

Thanks!

[@barney1941]

i had a 2018 yanmar sa324 it was a fantastic machine! i seen an ad on the net 2018 with 257 hours with backhoe. $12000 i seen it for weeks but with the price so low i never looked up location. well it was 45 min away. i couldnt take the time to lace my boods. i hit the road. i got it from a repo company with backhoe 257 hours $10000 tax and all! ya you wont see another deal like that. i used it for 2 years and sold it for $18k. i needed a larger machine. thats my deal of the day story central NY

[@lyleswavel320]

I like the sub compact tractors in the market nowadays, so many choices.

[@TxGuitarPlayer]

Nice. I sold my 2016 JD 3032e. I’m looking at the Yanmar SA425.

[@richglaser4566]

Great tractor, I want to buy one

[@louisorman1663]

Wife bought me a new 2021 yanmar sa 424 for Christmas present she paid $23,000 with a box blade and front bucket

[@PaulOtis]

I think you're going to love it! Thanks for watching!

[@therealmccoy9031]

How do you like the 424 so far?. Looking to pick one up myself

[@xXGizmoXisXcoolXx]

You got ripped off.

[@rodneyreible]

Get a tooth bar for the bucket. It will dig much better.

[@PaulOtis]

I am thinking of that. not sure how often I will be digging though. Thanks!

[@malone628]

Tooth bar is a game changer. Not just for digging either. Pulling up small saplings and brush, the tooth bar grabs and bites. I have a 2021 and cannot stay off of it!

[@gavinelliot3564]

The best you win.oh yea T800Aust

[@PaulOtis]

Thanks for watching

[@FarmallFanatic]

No problem with Yanmar

[@PaulOtis]

Thanks Farmall!

[@dannypalmer7701]

Gonna talk all day or show it? 😊

[@PaulOtis]

I think I will talk, thank you.

[@bobbyk6761]

Do we really need a tractor for a little residential backyard?

[@helihoot]

Please take care of yourself. Try and figure out how ti change your lifestyle.

[@PaulOtis]

ummm...ok...?

[@jaybailleaux630]

Lose a 100 pounds and you will fill better. I lost 45 pounds need to lose 55 pounds more.

[@andysee6658]

Awful small yard for such a tractor.

[@PaulOtis]

Thanks for watching.
