2026 Yanmar YT3 Series YT359C

The Yanmar YT359C is built to take on big jobs—and unpredictable weather—with confidence. Powered by a 58.9-horsepower, 4-cylinder Yanmar diesel engine and equipped with our exclusive I-HMT (Integrated Hydro Mechanical Transmission), this compact tractor converts power into smooth, fuel-efficient performance.

Stop worrying about rain, snow, heat and cold. Tackle big, tough jobs regardless of the weather in the Yanmar YT359C with a cab, heating and air conditioning. Comfortable and easy to operate, the YT359C uses advanced electronic controls and an integrated hydraulic mechanical transmission (i-HMT). The innovative transmission creates the standard of operation for more versatile performance.

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 YT359C delivers 58.9 HP of diesel power in a compact tractor with a fully enclosed cab for comfort and all-weather operation on properties of 25 acres or more. Its I-HMT transmission, selectable 2WD/4WD, and Category 1 & 2 3-point hitch allow precise performance for 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 YT359C provides a combination of power, durability, and operator comfort for small- to mid-sized property owners tackling a variety of tasks.
