New, Modern-Design YK Tillers for Safe and Easy Soil Cultivation

Incorporating 50+ years of agricultural know-how, Yanmar introduces its new YK tiller series. The YK tiller series has been designed with three main user benefits in mind: ease of operation, less fatigue and safety. Next to the new tillers, the complete Yanmar tractor range will be on show. All basic components for Yanmar agricultural equipment, including engine, front axle and transmission are developed and built in the company’s own factories in Japan and assembled and customised to European needs in the Netherlands.

In order to meet modern tilling requirements and improve overall user experience, Yanmar has used new and further improved technical features for its YK tillers. Among these are the Katana tines, sword-like tines (Katana is a Japanese sword), i-Start, the free or fixed resistance bar and the weed removal protection device. Summarised, the new YK tillers provide:

• Deeper tilling with lower vibration, also in hard soil due to KATANA tines

• Large area tilling in less time due to wider tilling width

• Easy weed removal with protection device for tangled weed

• 33% lower pulling force quick start with i-Start

• Smooth turning with adjustable resistance bar
