YANMAR YM173 ENGINE

The Yanmar YM173 is equipped with a compact 0.8L 1-cylinder diesel engine, providing efficient fuel consumption and high torque at lower RPMs, which is advantageous for tasks requiring sustained power. Its lightweight design enhances maneuverability in confined spaces; however, the single-cylinder setup may lead to increased vibration compared to multi-cylinder models. Ideal for small farms or horticultural applications, this tractor excels in powering smaller attachments but may struggle with heavy-duty tasks.

TRANSMISSION

The Yanmar YM173 features a gear transmission system with 6 forward and 2 reverse gears, enabling optimized torque delivery for various agricultural tasks. This setup allows for precise speed control in diverse field conditions, enhancing both productivity and maneuverability. However, the lack of a hydrostatic transmission might limit ease of use in certain scenarios requiring smooth speed adjustments, such as in tight spaces or on uneven terrain.

Gears	6 forward and 2 reverse

MECHANICAL

The Yanmar YM173 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, offering simplicity and ease of maintenance, but may be limited in traction on uneven terrain. Its manual steering system provides direct control, advantageous for maneuverability in tight spaces yet requires more effort compared to power-assisted systems. The 6-speed transmission allows for versatile speed adjustments, making it suitable for various tasks, though it may lack the smooth shifting experience of modern hydrostatic transmissions.
