Yanmar EF312T vs Yanmar Ex2900

Verdict: Yanmar EF312T vs Yanmar Ex2900

The Yanmar EF312T and the Yanmar Ex2900 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Yanmar EF312T leads on rated power with 30 hp against 29 hp. Yanmar EF312T is the lighter machine (919 kg vs 1,156 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Yanmar EF312T holds more fuel (28.0 L vs 23.8 L) for longer stints between fills. Yanmar Ex2900 is the newer design (2012 vs 2007). In short: choose the Yanmar EF312T 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.
