The Yanmar SA222 is a sub-compact utility tractor produced in Torbali, Turkey, as part of the SA series. Designed for versatility in landscaping and small-scale agricultural applications, this 4WD machine combines a compact footprint with mechanical reliability.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled Yanmar 3TNM72 3-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 0.9 liters. It produces a gross power output of 21.6 hp (16.1 kW) at a rated engine speed of 3000 RPM. The engine provides 38.8 lb-ft (52.6 Nm) of torque, ensuring consistent power delivery for various tasks.
