Common questions
Yanmar YM226 weight FAQ
How much does a Yanmar YM226 weigh?
The Yanmar YM226 weighs 2,300 lb (1,043 kg) using the published 4WD Operating figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 1,724 to 2,300 lb (782 to 1,043 kg).
How much heavier is the 4WD Yanmar YM226 than the 2WD model?
Published 2WD weight is 1,724 lb (782 kg), while published 4WD weight is 1,805–2,300 lb (819–1,043 kg). On a midpoint basis, the published 4WD configurations are about 328 lb heavier. Tires, transmission and other configuration differences can also affect the number.
What is the operating weight of the Yanmar YM226?
The published operating weight is 2,300 lb (1,043 kg). This is usually a more useful real-world figure than a bare shipping specification, although ballast, loader, fuel, implements and tire setup can still increase actual working weight.
Is the Yanmar YM226 a lightweight utility tractor?
Yes. The representative figure sits at about the 21st percentile, lighter than roughly 79% of the utility tractor peers. That puts it in the light range for this comparison. It is 2,963 lb lighter than the peer-group average of 5,263 lb.
How wide is the Yanmar YM226 for transport?
The maximum published tractor width is 53.9 in (4.5 ft). That is 48.1 in under 8.5 ft before allowing for a loader, duals, implements or other equipment that may increase transport width.
What is the Yanmar YM226 weight-to-horsepower ratio?
Using the page’s representative 2,300 lb weight and 22 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 104.5 lb per horsepower. A lower lb/hp number means less tractor mass for each horsepower; this is a comparison metric, not a traction or performance rating.
