No implements are run; hands-on testing is explicitly promised for future videos. Best for shoppers curious why an experienced compact-tractor reviewer chose Yanmar over Deere.
Tractor Time with Tim is an owner-operator channel focused on compact tractors, presenting itself as a consumer peer rather than a dealer or brand representative, though the host acknowledges his audience relies on his recommendations.
He wanted a high-end tractor that was cost competitive, since green tractors have gotten increasingly expensive, and wanted to give other brands a fair, detailed comparison.
It combines a gear drive with a hydrostatic motor, giving infinite speeds within each of three ranges while keeping the extra power of a gear drive transmission.
It is rated at 59 engine horsepower, which the host believes produces about 52 PTO horsepower, similar to a John Deere 4066R.
The hoses are wrapped and routed on top of the axle instead of exposed behind it, and sit close to the frame, which the host believes protects them from damage.
