2026 Yanmar YT3 Series YT359

The exclusive i-HMT design efficiently converts horsepower from a 4-cylinder diesel engine into the energy you need to run a wide range of attachments for mowing, plowing, digging, lifting and hauling. YANMAR’s transmission lets you choose the right speed for every task and application.

When you need a tractor for bigger and tougher jobs, look no further than the Yanmar YT359. Comfortable and easy to operate, the YT359 uses advanced electronic controls and an integrated hydraulic mechanical transmission (i-HMT). No longer do you have to choose between an efficient, constant speed and flexible operation. The i-HMT creates the standard for performance versatility.

Our YT3 Series tractors are designed to make work easier for people of all skill levels. The YT359 includes an autothrottle that enables you to control engine and travel speed with the accelerator/drive pedal. This makes operating the tractor like driving a car or truck with an automatic transmission car. A/B Mode lets you preset your maximum travel speed. An anti-stall feature keeps your engine running when you dig or lift a heavy load. There’s also cruise control to keep you moving efficiently when mowing or traveling for long stretches. YANMAR designs and builds the major components, engine, front axle, transmission, and final drive, to work together.

The Yanmar YT359 provides 58.9 HP of compact tractor power, engineered for productivity and versatility on properties of 25 acres or more. Equipped with I-HMT transmission, selectable 2WD/4WD, and a Category 1 hitch, it excels at loader work, backhoe operations, mowing, and material handling.

With 2,500 lbs of lift capacity at the pivot pin and 52.0 PTO horsepower, the YT359 combines strength, durability, and operator-focused design to help property owners manage demanding projects efficiently.
