Photos! Inside Yanmar CE’s Media Days at the EVO Center
Photos, Machines and a Bigger Story Coming Soon
Compact Equipment recently traveled to Acworth, Georgia, for Yanmar Compact Equipment’s Media Days — and the full lineup was on display. Held at the impressive Yanmar EVO Center, the event brought together machine journalists from across the country to explore the company’s newly completed range of compact equipment. Attendees participated in product walkarounds, test drives, competitive machine games and hands-on demos across Yanmar’s lineup — all while enjoying southern hospitality and an up-close look at Yanmar’s brand investments in North America.
Full Lineup on Display
Yanmar’s Media Days celebrated the official launch of its full compact equipment range, now available across North America:
- Mini Excavators
- Compact Track Loaders
- Compact Wheel Loaders
- Tracked Carriers
These machines were all available for operation during open demos, giving journalists a chance to test visibility, control and performance firsthand.
Training, Demos and the EVO Experience
The EVO Center is more than a showroom. It’s a modern facility used for dealer training, customer education, corporate video shoots and showcasing Yanmar’s deep product history. Media Days featured presentations in this unique facility from Yanmar executives and product managers, walkarounds for each machine category and demo field testing to simulate real jobsite conditions. Guests even got a glimpse of the Yanmar EVO Store and dealership, which showcased tractors, UTVs, service displays, history walls and merchandise.
Big Announcements: Ycare and Y.O.U. Club
Yanmar also shared updates on its customer support initiatives:
- Ycare Extended Warranty Program, which adds up to 7 years/7,000 hours of coverage across machines and attachments.
- Y.O.U. Club (Yanmar Operators United), a new North American platform for operators to connect, compete and share stories — both online and at live events.
More Coverage Coming
We’ve got a full feature story and exclusive videos on the way — including interviews with Yanmar product experts and executives. Until then, enjoy some photos from this hands-on look at one of the coolest compact equipment experiences of the year.
