The Yanmar YM238 is the only turbocharged tractor in its class — and that turbo isn't just a spec sheet bullet. It's what separates a 38-horse tractor that fits the job from one that finishes it.
Power comes from Yanmar's 38.2-HP 3-cylinder turbo diesel — quieter, more fuel-efficient, and pulling like a tractor a full size class bigger thanks to forced induction. More torque under load, better performance at altitude, lower emissions, and the kind of grunt most owners only get by stepping up to a heavier, thirstier machine. Backed by Yanmar's 8x8 Synchronized Reverser Transmission with a column-mounted forward/reverse shuttle, it's built for loader work, snow removal, and material handling where you're constantly changing direction.
The real headline is up front. The standard YL405 loader lifts 1,500 pounds at the pivot pins to a height of 88.3 inches — tall enough to dump cleanly into a pickup bed and strong enough to pick up loaded pallets without breaking a sweat. Out back, a Category I three-point hitch lifts 2,205 pounds and runs a 540 RPM PTO with overrunning clutch, ready for a 5-to-6-foot brush hog, finish mower, or box blade.
Like every new Yanmar, the YM238 is backed by a 10-year limited powertrain warranty — the longest in the business. Pair that with flexible financing right here at Green Spring Tractor, and getting into a real working tractor couldn't be simpler.
