TRANSMISSION

The Yanmar 221 features a hydrostatic transmission, providing infinite forward and reverse gear options, which enhances operational flexibility and ease of use, particularly in tight spaces or varied terrain. Its oil capacity of 16.4 quarts (15.5 liters) allows for effective lubrication and cooling, but regular maintenance checks are essential to ensure optimal performance. This tractor is well-suited for small to medium-scale agricultural tasks, but users should be aware of the potential for increased fluid maintenance due to the hydrostatic system's design.

MECHANICAL

The Yanmar 221 tractor features a robust 4x4 MFWD configuration, enhancing traction and stability across varied terrains. Its hydrostatic power steering provides excellent maneuverability, particularly in tight spaces, while the wet disc brakes ensure reliable stopping power under heavy loads. However, the two-post foldable ROPS may limit operator protection in certain rollover scenarios, so operating in hazardous conditions should be approached with caution.

YANMAR 221 TIRES

The Yanmar 221 tractor features dual tire size options for both lawn/turf and industrial applications, enhancing its versatility for different terrains. The 18x8.50-10 front tires provide agility for tight maneuvers, while the larger 26x12.0-12 rear tires offer stability and traction, crucial for carrying loads or performing in varied soil conditions. However, switching between tire types may require recalibrating performance parameters, and operators should consider tire pressure and tread patterns based on intended use to maximize efficiency.
