Yanmar America Corp.

Yanmar’s “MINIMAX” series diesel power solution for lawn and garden equipment, small agricultural machines, utility vehicles and compact generators features the 3TNM68 model. The 784cc three–cylinder Tier IV-compliant engine utilizes the company’s proprietary indirect injection technology to achieve low fuel consumption and low emissions levels. The engine block for this ultra compact and high-performance power plant employs Yanmar’s latest structural technology to achieve low vibration, noise and size.

Because of a new, compact cylinder block design, Yanmar has been able to achieve higher output levels relative to the compact size of the engine. Due to the compact footprint, the MINIMAX is a perfect fit for applications that have tight space requirements and demand high, reliable power output. High rigidity is achieved by incorporating a “ladder frame” structure in the cylinder engine block. This reinforcement allows the engine to operate with low noise and vibration. The MINIMAX incorporates the company’s proprietary MC type injection pump to achieve low fuel consumption and low emissions. This engine is already compliant with EPA Tier 4 regulations.

In addition to the TNV series, the new series will be released with the 3TNM68 model, and then later followed by the larger 3TNM72.
