FALSE. Like any piece of machinery they occasionally breakdown. With proper matainence, I believe Yanmar is one of the best compact tractors made or else I would not be involved with them. ....

They are good enough that John Deere sold them under the Deere label for many years, and they are still one of the most sought-after used tractors on the market.

This is false the Yanmar tractors 4wd or 2wd for that matter are first class products, with an excellent reputation. We have sold many 4wd Yanmars and none that I know of have broken 4wd drivelines. Loaders are the main cause of driveline failures in ALL compact tractors. Any compact used as a bulldozer (some owners of these tractors with loaders seem to think they are bulldozers) is subject to expensive failures. We currently have a Kubota in the shop that will cost the owner well over a grand to fix, due to a broken front axle. ....
