Features of the Yanmar 240D Tractor

Basics

• The 240D series has an open operator station and four-wheel drive. The original price of the 240D tractor in 1981 was $6,000. Today, they are sold for around $3,000, depending on the condition. The Yanmar 240D is a flexible tractor. It has the ability to accept different attachments that might be necessary for the job, such as a rear-mounted mower for cutting the grass or a plow for agriculture.

Engine

• The 240D Yanmar tractor has a 2TR20A engine type, which is a 2-cylinder engine that produces 24 horsepower. All Yanmar tractors produce between 20 and 50 horsepower. So the 240D is on the lower end and thus mainly used for smaller jobs.

Specifications

• The 240D tractor weighs 1,696 pounds and is 111.2 inches in length, 48.8 inches wide, and stands at 53.9 inches high at the steering wheel. It uses 6.00-14 inch front tires (for four wheel drive) and 11.2-24 inch rear tires. For lawn or turf jobs, the tire sizes are 27/8.50-16 front and 11.2-24 for the rear tires. This makes the 240D a small but stable tractor for working in rough conditions.

Other Features

• The 240D tractor has a fuel capacity of 5.8 gallons and a 12-volt battery to start the engine. The transmission has eight forward gears that will allow you to reach up to around eight miles per hour, two reverse gears to reach about 3 miles per hour and has a mechanical internal expansion brake system to help you come to a stop.
