What is my Yanmar tractor worth?
Yanmar diesels have a reputation nothing else in the compact class touches. That reputation is most of what a used Yanmar is priced on.

What Yanmar tractors bring used
Typical asking ranges for sound machines. Hours, a loader, a cab and where you are standing move every one of these.
How Yanmar holds value
Modern SA and YT compacts sell roughly in line with Kubota's smaller machines, a little under them on average because the dealer network is smaller.
Grey-market imported Yanmars are a separate market entirely. They are cheap working tractors, but parts and no factory support hold their value well below a US-sold machine of the same size.
The engines routinely outlast the sheet metal. A Yanmar with high hours and a straight loader still prices better than most brands at the same hours.
What this estimate cannot see
- Dealer distance. Buyers pay more when parts and service are close by.
- Service records. A folder of receipts is worth real money to a cautious buyer.
- Photos. Clean pictures from all four sides regularly add more than any option on the machine.
- Timing. Tractors sell best ahead of hay season and planting. The same machine brings less in the wrong month.
Common questions
- Put the horsepower, model year, hours and condition into the calculator on this page and it returns two ranges: what to ask selling it privately, and what it would likely bring at auction. Then type your exact model into the comparables box to check it against what machines like yours ask on the wider market.
- Modern SA and YT compacts sell roughly in line with Kubota's smaller machines, a little under them on average because the dealer network is smaller.
- Hours only matter against age. A tractor puts on roughly 200 hours a year, so a 10-year-old machine with 2,000 hours is average. Half that adds value; double it takes value off — usually 15 to 25 percent at the extremes.
- A standard equipment listing is free. Equipment auctions carry a 4% seller fee ($75 minimum) and a 5% buyer premium ($75 minimum), both capped at $2,500, and no subscription is required to start one.
