Yanmar EF230H vs Yanmar Ex2900

Verdict: Yanmar EF230H vs Yanmar Ex2900

The Yanmar EF230H and the Yanmar Ex2900 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Yanmar EF230H leads on rated power with 30 hp against 29 hp. Yanmar Ex2900 is the lighter machine (1,156 kg vs 2,150 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Yanmar EF230H holds more fuel (28.0 L vs 23.8 L) for longer stints between fills. Yanmar Ex2900 is the newer design (2012 vs 2004). In short: choose the Yanmar EF230H for outright pulling power, or the Yanmar Ex2900 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more. Compare the full spec tables below before booking a demo.
