We ask Dumb questions at YANMAR !

What happens here

The discussion shifts to Yanmar's engine strategy for their mid-frame track loaders. These models are engineered to stay below the 75 horsepower threshold, intentionally avoiding the requirement for a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system. This simplifies the machine's design and reduces maintenance complexity. The goal is to fine-tune the engine and machine package to maximize performance and efficiency within the compact segment, without adding unnecessary technological complexities that could lead to more issues.

Goal: Yanmar's strategy of optimizing engine performance in smaller packages while avoiding the need for a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system is explained.

What they say

by an electric fan. Okay. Now I want to directly hit on the topic of some guy saying, "Well, okay, but it just looks still looks like an ASV painted rod." And my comeback is if it ain't broke, don't fix it. So what Yanmar did was took the things that actually worked because this is the framework of an RT75, my one of my two favorite skid loaders of all time in history. So this is that frame with a different kind of suspension system. If a guy needs more of a construction style suspension system, ASV still has the open, let the water flow in, flow out type of a suspension system. Correct. Okay. Yep. uh you said something that we did not cover and is it on the CTL's that what Yanmar likes to do to differentiate themselves from the competition is put more horsepower into a smaller package so that it feels like you're getting more performance out of the equipment. Yeah, you're right. Uh with the three mid-frame models that Yamar created, they're both under that 75 horsepower threshold, so we don't have to use a deaf system on it. Uh very simple design. Um the ability to use a Yamar engine and pair it with a Yamar machine means that we have the ability to finely tune the package to get as much performance and efficiency out of the machine. I still need to understand, we got to clarify the statement that you made where you said you're putting more horsepower into smaller machines. Is that in the CTLs or is that in the excavators? What is that actually referring to? Yeah, really it's across the board. Yamar has dedicated itself to being a compact equipment company, making the compact equipment as efficient as possible. So, the more power and performance that we can fit into a smaller package, that's what we're all about. So, another thing that
