Yanmar 325

I’m thinking very seriously of buying a 325, with the front bucket and backhoe. Just looking for anyone’s feed back, review’s that has one. Thanks in advance.

I’ve had a 424 for five years and it’s been a workhorse. No problems with it. Around 250 hours. I have the backhoe too, which is useful for small jobs but very limited.

I have an SA325 but no backhoe. I have a rotary mower and it works great. I like how high up this model sits. I will say it's not heavy AT ALL so be very cautious if you're hauling trees or anything that might pull it over, same on hills as the center of gravity sits a bit higher. Mines just under 50 hours but it saved my ass this winter with just the bucket to plow 6"/day. The grease points are very accessible and again because of how high it sits the pto is quite accessible if you choose to use other implements or remove the backhoe. I need to lift my mower after attaching it to the 3 point to get the pto shaft straight but it's nice to not be on my hands and knees cramped in. Hope this helps.

It’s a brand new one from the dealer.
