I purchased the SA 223 with backhoe and box blade from Y'all a couple of weeks ago. Thus far, I am very pleased with it. I met Neal at the Farm Show, who took the time to go over it in detail and professionalism. Kristi in sales was a tremendous help on the text line, phone, and in the actual purchase. She's an absolute rockstar!!
I bought an SA221 about 3 years ago and I love it. It has the backhoe and the snowplow blade along with the front loader. It's amazing how many things you can use it for! My only complaint is, that there is not much clearance from the hydraulic filter underneath the tractor. I have to be careful going over uneven surfaces. Great video! Thanks!
You guys are priced higher than MSRP. Tell me why I would drive a couple hours to OKC (Closest Yanmar dealer) when John Deere is closer (NE OK) and priced cheaper for similar class tractor (1025R)?
Great video. Does anyone know if the backhoe attachment for this will fit the same mount as the 424? I noticed that the 221/223/324/325/424, and 425 all take the B65 backhoe, but is it the same exact mount in every case? This could help my buying decision, since it would be nice to invest in a backhoe and keep it if you got a different size tractor.
There isn’t a yanmar dealer close to me. The closest is about a three hour 15 minute drive. I went to that dealer and had a good discussion on several different models but they said that the tractor needs to come in every three years to keep the warranty in place, how does that work if I buy a tractor from tractor Bob’s I’m in Ohio are you guys or not?
Tractor Bob, I just purchased the Yanmar 325. I have the YSRB 60C rear blade. I want to add a hydraulic top link and is there a hydraulic kit for angle on that blade ?
Might be for you boys but I’ll stick with my John Deere. I know where my dealer is plus several others if I choose. Parts are available easily and can be delivered to you. Now we use Yanmar engines in our tractors. But guess what ? Deere engineering has put thousands of hours into making the engines better to meet North American customers expectations. No one has spent the time amount of time and effort developing the best belly mounted mowers and JD has the best hands down. Moving on to loaders JD was the first to develop jump on and off loaders making them acceptable in our markets. That happened way back in 1985 with the intro of the JD 6,7,and 855 compact tractors. Many changes and innovations came to the market with that unforgettable line of compact tractors. The line now can include a factory installed JD cab with about any degree of comfort anyone might want. So Yanmar may have a good tractor after all of this time. They have been able to set specs that make them look special. They are not ! Good product but has not stood the test of time in the North American markets. I’ll stick with John Deere ! para
