Why I chose the Yanmar SA424 tractor.

Why I chose the Yanmar SA424 tractor. There are many options in the world of tractors for landscapers, but I strongly believe the subcompact tractor is the perfect machine to have in the fleet. I list reasons why I believe this and why the Yanmar SA424 was the tractor for MLC LLC.

I’d love to hear what your favorite tractor is and why!

[@donniebargo964]

Yanmar better built .I don't own 1 anymore the dealer is to far away I have a kioti and ls in compact and subcompact. But I have some large ag tractors also. But the best I ever owned were the little grey market yanmars you just couldn't kill them they were and are still running

[@mightyminifarm]

Mahindra. Had a good dealer near me and the loader capacity and turning radius is best in class.

[@mithgo_outdoor]

[@dalelower2215]

I like the heal control for posi- traction in 4 wheel drive low.

[@fubhobama]

Nice machine, JD 2025r guy here, they look very similar. Love mine, its awesome what you can accomplish with these little tractors.

[@mithgo_outdoor]

Couldn't agree more!

[@JonsDailyHustle]

Thanks for sharing this, I'm wanting to get a sub/compact tractor but have some other goals and things I need to achieve first. It's definitely coming, dump trailer first tho 🙏

[@mithgo_outdoor]

You’re welcome dude! You’ll love having a dump trailer!

[@logansimpson305]

Great video I love John Deere tractors and kubota tractors

[@mithgo_outdoor]

Thanks for tuning in Logan. My next tractor will most likely be a Kubota since my local Yanmar dealer only carries subcompacts.

[@AsLawnandLandscaping]

Looks like a sweet tractor! I’ve seen you put that thing to work from snow to mulch. It does a ton haha!

[@mithgo_outdoor]

Yea buddy! It’s the little tractor that could lol

[@danslawncare8594]

I have an LS MT 125 is 25 hp with a back home and had the yunmar engine. I love it. Nice tractor. Thanks for the video. I just found out about you from jonny at from blades of grass.

I plan on getting this exact tractor. I’ve done my research and found out this tractor is, top line tractor and pleasant with the price/warranty. Also, love the state you’re from, it’s the state I was born in. Thank You, for the information, you’re definitely “not” the first I’ve heard this information from.

I am thinking about getting the SA424

[@mithgo_outdoor]

You wont be disappointed! I have thoroughly enjoyed it all the years I've owned it.

[@msclawnmaintenance]

Hello, I picked up a yanmar SA221. I wish I got the little bigger one now but it’s still a very handy tractor.

[@mithgo_outdoor]

oh yea, they are very handy! congrats on your tractor purchase!

[@josephtesta2144]

Do you think the sa221 is worth the money?

[@msclawnmaintenance]

@@josephtesta2144 ya for sure, they are less then JD I believe. Yanmar use to make some JD models of tractor. They still have yanmar engines in some as well.

[@donniebargo964]

I looked at a 4 to 4 today and with fluid in the back tires and the loader on it it weighed 2770 lb

[@mithgo_outdoor]

My rear tires are stock. The small Diesel engine bogs down easily under too heavy of a load so I never felt the need to add more weight to it.

[@wdilks]

Nice

[@mithgo_outdoor]

Thanks

[@dannypalmer7701]

Very nice tractor! 😂

[@bae896]

@@mithgo_outdoor What is the optimal tire pressure you run front and rear? Thanks much!

Dude I hot the sa424 with the loader and the backhoe damn is that a sweet tractor. The backhoe with the 9"bucket is great for stumps

[@mithgo_outdoor]

I've been considering adding the backhoe. So it does pretty good? I was worried that it being a smaller tractor it wouldn't pack enough punch.

[@derekpiehl85]

@@mithgo_outdoor No it works great takes a little longer than a actuall backhoe. But I dug out 30 good sized stumps and a rock the size of my 4 wheeler that probably weighs. As much as the tractor

[@mithgo_outdoor]

@@derekpiehl85 wow that's impressive. Did you go with the Yanmar brand backhoe or something else?

[@derekpiehl85]

@@mithgo_outdoor No it's the yanmar backhoe. That u get through yanmar it's made by woods attachments. But u have to get it through yanmar dealer so it comes with the different seat bracket so the seat spins and the bracket to mount it to the tractor. Takes the dealer bout 4-5 hrs to install

@@derekpiehl85 If ya don't mind me asking, do you remember was the rough cost of it was? not for the install, just the attachment.

I had a john deere 750 it was a green yanmar great tractor if I buy a cab tractor it will be yanmar.

[@mithgo_outdoor]

Yanmar makes a great tractor!

[@ltdlawnservice4586]

Looking into one of these. Has the extra height clearance worked in your favor? When replacing tires gonna keep r4s or switch to turf? These have best lift capacity and a solid warranty. Deciding between 324 or 424.

[@mithgo_outdoor]

Hey there, yes there has been many times when out bush hogging that the extra ground clearance paid off. If you are considering between the 324 and 424 definitely go 424. If I have to replace the tires I'll keep the r4s because the added traction is a bonus when bush hogging. The tractor is light enough that it doesn't tear up fine turf as long as you operate with some sense. Thanks for tuning in and good luck on your purchase

[@Antique803]

Have you ever had a mid mount mower? If you did, could you use the 3pt with like a tiller and keep the mower deck on the tractor and lock in place up to highest position?

[@mithgo_outdoor]

Hello, I’ve never used a mid-mount mower with this tractor. I do know that you can have one installed and still operate front and rear implements. You just can’t operate the mid PTO and rear at the same time.

[@Antique803]

@@mithgo_outdoor Thanks for the quick response.

[@Clarity5970]

Have figured out how to press the brake slightly and it will lock the rear end if you get stuck?

[@mithgo_outdoor]

Nope…never gotten the tractor stuck.

Ventrac is awesome, but wouldn't mind having a subcompact

[@mithgo_outdoor]

Dude I would LOVE a Ventrac!! They’re so freaking awesome

[@jimrussell-us]

I live in the same region of NC as you. So you are happy with your dealer in High Point?

I have been very satisfied with WENO Power Equipment.

[@donniebargo964]

The 1700 or 1800 pounds that you quoted is just the naked tractor without the fluid or the loader

It’s a lightweight package altogether

Does it have down pressure on bucket or just lift

Yes it does.

Could you put a grapple on it?

Yes a grapple can be installed. You just have to add 3rd function valve kit to operate it.

[@sunseeker5071]

What was the price with loader? Thank you

[@mithgo_outdoor]

If my memory serves me correct it was around $20-22k. Mine is a 2016 model, I think the 2020's are more expensive now.

[@frankcastle7777]

In VA the 2021 YANMAR 424 tractor with loader is $17500 , tractor loader & belly mower $19500; and tractor loader & backhoe $24000 before taxes.

[@ElvinoMarqs]

Check Hinomoto HM255 a great Tractor 2022, with Yanmar engine

[@mithgo_outdoor]

I will check it out

[@melissasmess2773]

Looking at same model, it’s actually a compact size! I looked at subcompacts and they are operator cramped and poor ground clearance, not as wide or stable.

[@mithgo_outdoor]

This SA424 is a Sub-Compact model (along with any of the other SA models from Yanmar). The Sub-Compacts are designed for a reason and serve a very good purpose. I would argue that there is nothing "poor" about them because they serve a niche market. There's been hundreds of times over the last 6 years of ownership that if I'd had a larger tractor (ie compact or bigger) I wouldn't have been able to perform the service at hand or damaged property due to the tractor being too heavy. There's a tractor out there for almost every person's needs. Hopefully you found find or found one that works for you. Would like to know what you landed on? I just took ownership of a new Kubota Grand L4760 and I'm already loving it. Thanks for stopping by the channel. Have a great day

[@melissasmess2773]

@@mithgo_outdoor I am not seeing much for used available and my research is leading me towards the SA424! I have rented a huge CAT 420D before for removing trees in the rocks. I probably don’t need to own a backhoe but it’s not that much more and would definitely solve the problem of weighting the rear tires. The closest shop to service a Yanmar is 1.5 hours away but I am very experienced with working on vehicles and have an equipment trailer so I may buy a tractor that doesn’t have local support even though I know a lot of people would disagree with me. I mostly want a tractor for snow removal and light landscape work, I think it would be a decent investment as we are in hyperinflation and my stocks are already taking a 12% loss. I live in very rocky soil, it’s a world renowned area for rocks and grapes but has mostly been apples in the past so it’s not ground for tilling and planting unfortunately. The 424 is a model that is stable and has the ground clearance I should purchase I feel. I am also toying with investing in a used Bobcat skid steer, maybe it would be the ultimate snow removal equipment and landscaping toy and a better investment long term that a new tractor, loader/backhoe though tractors are not depreciating a whole lot, at least the dealers want close to retail for some machines with 500-1,000 hours or more. What do you think about a Bobcat? Is it too expensive to leave parked mostly, reliable enough to leave mostly idle or very expensive repairs yearly? A great $30,000 yard ornament/ investment? I know a lot of people say rent a backhoe when you need one but I am looking for mountain property and I should probably spend $5,000 more and get a tractor with one now since I have the money, even if just a tractor and loader fits most of my needs. Thanks for any advice!

[@melissasmess2773]

@@mithgo_outdoor ps I use a Husquvarna MZT61 for mowing, great zero turn, beast deck! My favorite walk behind was a Toro Proline 2 stroke, so light and easy to use on hills with belt drive and everything aluminum. I didn’t like my heavy commercial gear driven Honda walk behind, super hard to work on the hills when turning back and forth.

[@thegreatnorthwoodswithbb2863]

There is no way that tractor can lift 1,200 lb.... My l3301 Kubota was rated at 1100 lb at pinpoint.. my l3560 is like 1700 lb.. absolutely no way somebody handed you a line of BS

[@mithgo_outdoor]

Why would you waste mine and your time challenging how much weight a tractor is rated to lift?! Not all brands are created equally in the subcompact line-up. Why do you think I chose this tractor over the orange or green counterparts…? 🤔 I’ve had this tractor for almost 7 years now…lifted that much many times, believe it or not. Thanks for tuning in.
