Yanmar has increased its factory warranties for all compact excavators to four years or 4,000 hours, whichever comes first.

“The new four-year, 4,000-hour warranty is not extended ‘coverage,’ and will not be administered by a third party, as many other manufacturers offer,” says Jeff Pate, National Sales Manager for Yanmar America’s Construction Equipment Division. “This is a true factory ‘bumper-to-bumper’ warranty that Yanmar America offers and will cover everything our previous 3-year factory warranty covered.”

As of April 1, this new warranty is covering all models ranging from the smallest, SV08; all 6 of the Zero Tail Swing excavators from the ViO25 to the ViO80; and the largest compact excavator, the SV100.

The company, calls the change “a bold statement of Yanmar quality” that should by considered by every end user intending to purchase a compact excavator.
