Deere switched to their own design over several years. The last deere branded yanmar was the 2 series, until 2017 if I remember right. I don't know when the others switched. They all use yanmar engines until you get to the 6 series. Deere doesn't sell enough small tractors to make building their own to meet emissions worth it. (at least for now, though obviously if I knew what is happening next I wouldn't be allowed to talk)
