Features explained

Fuel-efficient Yanmar diesel engine

At its heart sits a legendary 3-cylinder, liquid-cooled Yanmar diesel engine producing 21.5hp (16.0kW). It's built to work all day while keeping your running costs sensibly low, so you get dependable power without unnecessary trips to the pump.

Performance Link Technology™

Yanmar makes all the major drivetrain components — the engine, transmission and axles — in-house. Because they're built to work perfectly together, you enjoy more usable horsepower, less power loss and a noticeably smoother, more comfortable ride. It's a tractor designed to work as hard as you do.

Hydrostatic transmission

The hydrostatic transmission, with convenient side-by-side pedals, lets you adjust speed and direction effortlessly. There are no gears to wrestle with, so you can focus on the task whatever the terrain or implement.

Selected 4WD

Switchable four-wheel drive gives you reliable grip when conditions get tough. Engage 4WD for slippery, steep or soft ground, helping you keep moving with complete confidence.

Comfortable operator station

A large, open operator's station gives you easy access to every control, while wide-open sightlines keep you aware of your surroundings. The full-frame chassis reduces vibration for a smoother, less tiring ride throughout long days.

Hydraulic power steering

Smooth hydraulic power steering delivers no kickback through the wheel, so manoeuvring feels light and precise. That means less operator fatigue and easier handling, job after job.

Strong lift and PTO capability

With a 375kg lift capacity, 15.6hp (11.6kW) of PTO power and a Limited Category 1 3-point hitch, the SA221 runs a broad range of implements with confidence — giving you genuine all-round versatility.
