Hashirama created the True Several Thousand Hands, a gargantuan wood statue, just to suppress Kurama at full power. While Yamato possesses wood release, he simply doesn't have the necessary strength to suppress Kurama alone. After all, a six-tailed Kyubi avatar was enough to break the seal Yamato had put on Naruto with the crystal, which is still only a fraction of Kurama's full power.
