Tractor photo opportunity

A Yanmar YT357AJ tractor is on display inside the grounds of THE FARM TOKYO. The model which is targeted at the top end of the pro-farmer market, went on sale in December 2018. The model manages to incorporate both a modern form and comfortable operation in a stylish design from renowned industrial designer Ken Okuyama. The head-turning tractor is sure to evoke pride in its owners and inspire a new generation of farmers into agriculture. The display of this latest in agricultural equipment offers visitors to THE FARM TOKYO the chance to snap a picture with it for social media.
