Tier D Two-wheel tractor

Yanmar YK850MK

Diesel · Rotary hoe · 8.5 hp · 60 cm

Yanmar's YK850MK is a professional multi-purpose power tiller (kanriki) for vegetable growers — note it runs an air-cooled Yanmar GB290 8.5 PS petrol engine, not diesel: a 4-forward / 4-reverse transmission with single-lever high/low sub-transmission, all controls grouped at the handle, ~100 kg. A Japanese-market machine bought by grey import in the UK/EU. Engine (petrol), 8.5 PS power and ~100 kg weight verified via Yanmar; working width is attachment-dependent so still flagged.

From £2,500–£4,500
