Yanmar America Renews Support of the Atlanta Braves for 2024 Season

Yanmar America Corporation recently announced its continued sponsorship of the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball team.

“Our partnership with the Atlanta Braves underscores our commitment to supporting excellence in sports and community engagement,” said Yanmar America President, Jeff Albright. “We’re proud to provide top-of-the-line equipment that helps maintain the field at Truist Park, ensuring an exceptional experience for players and fans alike.”

Yanmar is the exclusive tractor brand for the Atlanta Braves. Yanmar services and maintains these tractors on an annual basis to ensure they are the top of their game for field maintenance. These tractors were specially customized with extended rear hitches to facilitate the transportation of batting practice equipment and field supplies. Additionally, two SA223s were outfitted with push-blocks and straps, enabling the smooth deployment and retrieval of the protective tarp covering the infield.

Yanmar’s YT347, affectionately known as “the beast,” was equipped with ultra-wide turf tires and custom wheels to operate the aerator, enhancing turf quality by allowing fertilizer application. Yanmar has a long history of sharing in the excitement and power of sport through global sponsorships that include soccer and sailing. Yanmar’s leadership sees parallels between baseball and business. Baseball, being a team sport, highlights the importance of individual excellence within a supportive team environment. It emphasizes unified leadership and team morale among players, managers, and coaches.

As part of the partnership, Yanmar will be able to take advantage of various marketing and promotional activities provided by the Braves.
