2025 Harvester Buyer Beware: These 10 Models Are Known to Fail!

#9 Yanmar YT359H

For smaller to mid-sized farms, the Yanmar YT359H offers a solid 359 horsepower engine. It's super easy to maneuver and perfect for tight spaces. But here's the catch: being compact comes with some trade-offs. Its grain loss rate can be up to 9% higher than larger models, and under heavy loads, overheating can become an issue if not managed properly. If you've got a small field, it's a good pick. But if you're planning a high-volume harvest, you might need to look elsewhere.
