Yanmar GK13 GK14 GK16 GK18 (GK160 GK200)
Knowledge base for the Yanmar Ecotra GK series: GK13, GK14, GK16 and GK18, sold in Europe as GK160 and GK200(R). These modern compact tractors (2014+) share one family, but differ in the engine: the GK13 and GK14 have the 3-cylinder Yanmar 3TNV70 (853 cc, 70 mm bore), while the GK16 and GK18 have the larger 3TNV76 (1115 cc, 76 mm bore). As a result, the head gaskets and piston rings, among other things, are not interchangeable between the two groups; the filters, however, are the same across the entire series. Here you’ll find purchasing advice, technical specifications, maintenance schedules, oil and filter information, operation, hydraulics/PTO, troubleshooting and storage for each topic — plus matching parts from Shop4trac.
