YANMAR YM226 ENGINE
The Yanmar YM226 is powered by a compact 1.1L 3-cylinder diesel engine, ensuring excellent fuel efficiency while delivering reliable torque for various agricultural tasks. With a 5-gallon (18.9 L) fuel tank, it offers reasonable operational endurance for short to medium-duty applications, although larger operations may require more frequent refueling. Its lightweight design can be an advantage for maneuverability in tight spaces, yet it may limit heavy lifting capabilities compared to larger tractors.

MECHANICAL
The Yanmar YM226 features a robust drivetrain capable of 4WD, enhancing traction in challenging terrains, though the manual steering may require more effort for precise maneuvering under heavy loads. Its drum brakes provide adequate stopping power but may lag in response compared to modern disc systems, potentially presenting a safety challenge in emergency situations. The 9-speed transmission with three-speed power shift allows for versatile speed options, making it suitable for various applications, from plowing to hauling.

YANMAR YM226 TIRES
The Yanmar YM226 tractor's 2WD configuration with standard agricultural tires (6.00-14 front and 11.2-24 rear) offers stability and adequate traction for moderate fieldwork, but may struggle on uneven terrain compared to its 4WD counterpart. Its 4WD setup, with smaller front tires (6-14) and wider rear tires (9.5-24), enhances maneuverability and traction, particularly in wet or slippery conditions, making it ideal for diverse farming scenarios. The optional lawn/turf tires provide versatility for non-agricultural applications, reducing ground disturbance but potentially limiting performance in heavy-duty agricultural tasks.
