Features explained

Exclusive i-HMT transmission

At the heart of the YT359Q sits the advanced Integrated Hydro Mechanical Transmission (i-HMT). It sets a new standard for performance versatility, so you no longer have to choose between efficient, constant speed and flexible operation — with the YT359Q, you enjoy both, beautifully balanced.

Autothrottle for car-like control

The autothrottle lets you control engine and travel speed directly from the accelerator/drive pedal, making operation feel just like driving a car with an automatic transmission. It's wonderfully intuitive, putting confident, relaxed control well within reach.

A/B Mode

A/B Mode lets you preset your maximum travel speed, so you can match your pace precisely to the task in hand. It's a simple, clever touch that keeps your work consistent and your attention firmly on the job.

Anti-stall feature

The anti-stall feature keeps your engine running smoothly even when you're digging or lifting a heavy load. That means fewer interruptions, steadier progress and complete confidence whenever the going gets tough.

Cruise control

Built-in cruise control keeps you moving efficiently when mowing or travelling for long stretches. You'll cover more ground with less fatigue, making even the longest days feel that much more comfortable.

Synchronized shuttle shift

The synchronized shuttle shift lets you change quickly between forward and reverse, making loader work genuinely effortless. It's ideal for grading, material handling and moving bales of hay, helping you work smoothly and productively.

Gear drive transmission and Yanmar diesel power

The robust gear drive transmission combines with the renowned Yanmar diesel engine to deliver high torque and more usable PTO power. You get dependable strength for demanding tasks, day in and day out.

Performance Link Technology

Yanmar designs and builds all the major components — the engine, front axle, transmission and final drive — in-house. Because they're built to work perfectly together, you enjoy more usable horsepower, less power loss and a smoother, more comfortable ride.

Versatility with attachments

Compatible with both Category 1 and Category 2 attachments, the YT359Q offers genuine all-round flexibility. A telescopic hitch arm makes small adjustments quick and convenient for easy mounting, while heavy-duty, pin-style sway bars keep your attachment securely in place.

Comfort built right in

Designed with comfort, efficiency and versatility in mind, the YT359Q features an adjustable suspension seat and a flat, isolation-mounted floorboard. Together they deliver maximum comfort and reduced fatigue throughout long days in the field.

Convenience designed-in

Thoughtful touches make everyday work easier. The lower fuel tank positioning allows for quick, straightforward fuelling, while the larger fuel capacity boosts productivity and keeps you working longer between stops.

What to expect

The YT359Q is reassuringly capable from the very first start. Climb aboard and you'll find every control within easy reach, with the autothrottle making speed and direction changes feel as natural as driving a car. The exclusive i-HMT transmission keeps you efficient and flexible at once, while anti-stall, A/B Mode, cruise control and the synchronized shuttle shift take the effort out of demanding tasks. Settle into the adjustable suspension seat above the smooth, isolated floorboard, and you have a compact tractor that's as comfortable and intuitive to operate as it is genuinely productive — a machine built to work as hard as you do.
