Where the line-up sits
The 15 Yanmar configurations profiled here run from 15.6 to 64.1 PTO hp across 13 model families. 3 of them sit within 1 PTO hp of a 30, 35, 45, 50 or 65-hp attachment limit, where the transmission or the document version can change the answer.
Gear and HST
1 Yanmar model here is profiled in both gear and HST versions. The widest gap is the SM240’s 0.7 PTO hp (28.2 gear, 27.5 HST). None of the gaps crosses a published attachment limit.
Lift
Published lift 24 inches behind the hitch runs from 660 to 3,418 lb. 9 configurations list less than the 1,950 lb of Wallenstein BX102RI, the heaviest attachment on this site.
Hitch category
1 configuration lists a Category 2 hitch only, which this site screens out for Category 1-only attachments; 3 list Category 1 and 2 or a hitch convertible between them.
What fits most often
Across these configurations, Farmry WCAP5 PRO (12 of 15) and Farmer-Helper FH-BX42 (12) are the chippers that most often clear the published limits; Farmer-Helper FH-EF95 (12) and Farmer-Helper FH-EF105 (11) lead the flail mowers. ‘Clears’ means not excluded; nearly every pairing still needs dealer confirmation.
Yanmar notes
Yanmar’s i-HMT YT347 and YT359 publish PTO power at working speed and at zero speed; the screen uses working speed. The SA series has a Limited Category 1 hitch, and the YM238’s page and brochure disagree on PTO power. 2 configurations marked † carry a recorded source conflict.
Take these questions with you.
- Which exact configuration and transmission is the tractor?
- Which document date do the PTO and lift figures come from?
- Is the attachment rated on engine or PTO horsepower?
- What does the dealer list for lift 24 inches behind the hitch?
Keep these questions with your exact tractor and attachment details.
