ENGINE DETAIL
The Yanmar YM169 features a compact 0.9L 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing a balance of 16hp at 2600 RPM and 36.8 lb-ft torque at 1800 RPM, suitable for light agricultural tasks or small-scale landscaping. Its efficient Bosch YPER-0707 injection system and 23:1 compression ratio yield strong performance, but may result in higher maintenance through temperature management with the thermostart pre-heating system. With an oil capacity of 3.4 quarts and specific valve clearances, regular servicing is crucial to maintain operational efficiency and prolong engine life.

TRANSMISSION
The Yanmar YM169 tractor features a gear transmission with 6 forward and 2 reverse gears, providing versatility for various field conditions. Its dry disc clutch offers efficient power transfer but may require more maintenance compared to wet clutches in terms of wear. With an oil capacity of 10 quarts (9.5L), ensure regular oil changes for optimal engine performance, particularly important in heavy-duty operating scenarios.

MECHANICAL
The Yanmar YM169 is available in both 4x2 and 4WD configurations, offering versatility for different terrains, with 4WD providing enhanced traction in muddy or uneven surfaces. Its mechanical drum brakes require more maintenance than hydraulic systems and may lead to longer stopping distances under heavy loads. The open operator station design improves visibility and comfort, but may expose the operator to environmental elements during operation.

YANMAR YM169 TIRES
The Yanmar YM169 tractor, available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, is equipped with standard agricultural tires (4.50-10 front and 8-16 rear for 2WD; 5-12 front and 8-16 rear for 4WD), enhancing versatility for fieldwork. The alternative lawn/turf tire configuration (6-12 front and 8-16 rear) minimizes soil compaction, making it suitable for maintenance tasks on sensitive grounds. However, the choice of tire type can impact traction and maneuverability; thus, selecting the right configuration is essential based on the intended application, such as agricultural work versus turf maintenance.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Yanmar YM169 tractor features a compact wheelbase of 49.4 inches, which enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, making it ideal for small-farm applications or garden work. Weighing 1,300 lbs, it offers stability during operation but may limit performance on loose or uneven terrain due to its 2WD configuration. The front tires (4.50-10) and rear tires (8-16) provide decent traction, but operators should be cautious in slippery conditions where 4WD could offer significant advantages.
