One of my favorite videos you've done! Very informative.

I have an LS tractor and it has been great to own. I used it with a set of forks so that I could load pup trailers with our stuff when we moved and it made it much easier to deal with. It doesn't have the emissions because i bought it was the last model beforehand.

I just watched this video and it is apparent that you like your TYM tractors. I bought a TYM 333 in 2005 with a front end loader and an Italian made 3-point hitch backhoe. Back then, it had a Kubota diesel engine. When you got into the 60HP and up, they came with Cat engines. I owned that tractor from 2005 through 2020. In general, I would have to agree with your assessment of the quality. I do however have some issues with the manufacturer. First, was the lack of dealerships in Missouri. If I wanted to get dealership work on it I would have to trailer it over 90 minutes away. Not only was that time out of my day but also expense and wear and tear on my truck and trailer. So this issue led me to start performing most of the work on this tractor myself and there came the biggest issue of the brand......their maintenance manuals SUCK! At one point, I had to replace parts in the gearcase that housed the PTO gears. The manual for this section and just about any section of the tractor was pretty much useless. A large portion of the illustrations were draftman's drawings! Now tell me how the average "wrench-turner" at the dealership is going to make heads or tails out of a draftman's drawing, let alone "Joe SnuffY" who works on his own tractor. The only way I got it back together is through the parts manual. The parts manual was very useful. When they called for a bolt, they gave diameter, length and pitch of threads. THis was invaluable as the bell-housing had 4 different types of attaching hardware. The thing with using the parts manual though is that I had no torque specifications so I had to use "german" torque......."Gut en tight". I only had one instance of poor craftsmanship in all those years of work. Early on the non-adjustable lift link on the back broke. What I found was that they had "butt-welded" the solid round stock to the flat surface of the clevis. There was no beveling of the round stock to get deeper penetration of the weld. Nor was the weld deep enough and broke within several hours of me getting the tractor. I removed the part, beveled the round stock used a high power setting to get good penetration into the clevis and made several passes. It never broke again. The tractor now is owned by my next-door-neighbor's son. He is enjoying its use to this day. Given the opportunity, I probably would buy it back from him in the future. It was my first tractor purchase and have never regretted purchasing it. I had nearly 600 hours on it when I sold it. Less the manual issue, its a very good purchase for anyone wanting a reliable tractor. Good luck with your farm. I love your dog! He seems to be a very smart dog as was our half German shepherd-half Australian shepherd we had. kd

I purchased a TYM 574 in May of 2022. I have over 70 hours on it. I needed something that had more than 40 hp the 574 has 55 hp. I needed something that would pull a round baler and a large manure spreader. and 6ft implements . My neighbor owns a 474 and it just did not seem big enough for what I need it for, watching you and Daniel Arms on Arms Family Homestead showed me that that’s what I needed. Here in southwest Louisiana I did not need an enclosed cab, plus I would probably knock out all the glass out of it clearing all my brush. But even this will not beat my Farmall cub high crop A, Farmall cub all the way for working in the garden.

I forgot to mention, my 474 has 3910 hours on it now. Just had to one small electrical problem. My version of your Big T has 2877 hrs on it and no problems. I love it so much I've taken it to church a bunch of times. Enables me to get back at it right after the Pot Luck lunch.....my favourite thing about going to a rural church.

The hours are super low on all of these. I’m really interested to know how they do over the long term. I put about 800-900 hours a year on my JD5075E which is mostly mowing with a Woods BB720 X rotary cutter, but in the fall I switch to a rear mounted blower and an 8’ push box for winter snow removal. Mostly, it’s about 7.5 hours per day, but snowstorms can go 30-40 hours at a time. I think it has about 3,200 hours on it right now. It doesn’t use a drop of oil between services and has auto regen, so no DEF. I wish it had as many gears as your big one. That’s really nice.

Josh , I’ve been watching your vids for a while and got some handy tips but I’ve got one for you. Never let a dog become familiar and relaxed around heavy implements and farm machinery It’s a recipe for a possible sad incident. Dogs need to be taught from an early age to stay clear of farm machinery. To me my dogs are a part of the family and i know Id never let one of my kids near an implement, or ride in a bucket like that,same goes for my dogs.

TYM bought Kukje, who made Branson. The ranges have been merged - they will all under the TYM brand going forward. They're not ditching any models, each model will continue being manufactured and supported by TYM.

Josh I am in Reidsville and I have my TYM for over 2 years and well over 200 hours and have had no problems and I love my TYM 474!

Love my T254 w/ backhoe attachment. One thing I did was shorten down the loader handle as I felt it stuck out too far. Ive had excellent service with my 254 and it works great. I think TYM will become more popular here in the US as the word gets out. They bought out Branson so the Branson brand name is going away but TYM will continue to make many of their models but just rebadging them and continue to support the previously sold Bransons.

That rear 3 point hitch lever saves you from having to climb in and out of the cab to install implements, and as you get older you appreciate it more.

Been considering the big TYM for our farm,,, glad to view your video on it. The cost to get a bigger tractor shipped to AK is astronomical,, making the green ones unobtainable. Your recommendation helps, though I would like to here about it once you have more running hrs. Thanks ,,, God bless

When you beeped the horn on Little T, my 3 dogs started barking and ran to the front door. My wife said "Thanks Josh". Always enjoy your videos.

I've got a T754 with about 60 hours on it. I've had two problems so far (and they both happened right before the 50 hr service call) 1. L/M/H shifter got stuck and wouldn't move (ended up being a bad weld on the shifter sticking in the transfer case that they ground down to fix) 2. Engine was overheating during brushhogging/mowing with 15 ft batwing mower (ended up I was cleaning the AC filter, but was missing the radiator removable filter that was hard to see) Dealer servicing was a major concern, luckily a new one started selling Branson's right before the merger, so I'm hoping to use them from now on.

I've got the TYM T264 and it is incredible for its size! I have a 60 inch tiller on it and use it and the loader mostly. I tilled 600 feet of frontage about two feet down a few inches at a time and reshaped my ditch so the water would drain out of about 500 x 500 of my yard. Never missed a lick. I also found things I didn't know needed lifting till i bought pallet forks. It is rated 1400 lbs in the bucket, not the pin. I'm 6'2 and have lots of room too. Not one bad thing to say!

I have a Branson 4215CH, TYM is the parent company of Branson and consolidated the brand under TYM. Been a great tractor so far!

I've had my T25 for a year 81 hours in and use the heck out of it. This channel & Toni's Tractor Adventure turned me on to TYM. Super nice machine for my 10 acre farm.

I just bought a TYM T264 with a loader and backhoe about 2 months ago, and I love the tractor so far.

I purchased a RK 55 for our 150 acre horse farm, and it has been amazing. I’ve run almost major brands of tractors and this one for the money is hands down the best machine. Some other brands do have subtle things I like better, but at literally half the price these tym tractors can’t be beat. The buying process from our local RK couldn’t be easier. No haggle or hassle with some ridiculous sales guy trying to upsell everything. I literally had it paid for and loaded in minutes.

Josh, good video. Very thorough and informative. Love how you love your pup. I can tell you two love each other. One recommendation though. I would lower the height of the bucket when he jumps into it. At the end of the video he was kind of slipping and sliding upon entering and I was afraid he was going to hit his head. Lord knows you 1) don't want your pup to get injured, and 2) you can bet the VET bills would be crazy expensive if he did. Take good care...

I enjoy your channel. I have a larger Kioti and have been wanting a smaller tractor for working in my yard. Your videos steered me to the T254, I got one a few weeks ago and have been extremely happy with it. I'm now considering selling my Kioti and getting a larger TYM.

Oh GOD ur right. Cant believe the prices on John Deere

Nice video as always! I have two comments. The first is regarding the 574 HST. I owned the exact same machine. It was a 2020 model year. I sold it along with the farm when I retired last year and moved from Illinois to Florida. The tractor was flawless and never needed anything beyond maintenance. It had about 250 hrs when I sold it. Here is the comment… my only complaint (more a preference thing actually) was the brightness of the lighting at night. About $50.00 spent with Amazon and an hour of shop time had cab work lights and headlights upgraded to LED’s. HUGE IMPROVEMENT! I never regretted spending 2/3 the price of a green or orange tractor to acquire the TYM. The other comment is regarding your comment when showing us the “buddy seat” in big reds cab. You referred the Ms. Stoney Ridge as your wife. Did I miss something?❤

Thank you! I saw these at Rural King and was surprised at the reasonable prices. Now I know they are a great value!

Great content Josh!! We've had our T25 for almost a year now, only used about 20 hours so far, but really like the functionality. Such a great layout of the controls and handles incredibly well. Still have to work out the best snow removal technique, but need to level out the gravel driveway to give it a fair evaluation. Will be using doing a lot of tree skidding and ground leveling this year; looking forward to it.

I bought a JD 970 way back in 1994. 35 hp Yanmar. It has been bullet proof. Not a single issue. This winter the cold finally got the better of me. I decided to get a Cab tractor in the 40 to 50 hp range. I wanted another Deere. Shopped our local JD dealer Pape Machinery. They are big time. 44 locations in 4 states. I was shocked at the prices. We have all the tractor brands in the area and I shopped them all. Spent 2 months doing research. I finally settled on a new TYM T474. It was 27k less than a JD and it was 10 hp more than the Deere. My son in law is a 3rd generation farmer with his Masters in crop science and with his dad they farm 8k acres. They are all Green. He came over to see my new Red tractor and spent time looking it over and driving it. He was very impressed. Hopefully our new Red tractor will become a special member of the family like the JD 970 has, which is currently in the heated shop and will never be sold.

When I got rid of a yanmar, I looked at TYM tractors. Went with Kioti. Best tractor I've used in a while. Will start in 20⁰ just like at 80⁰. That outside 3 point lever is not just a tym thing.

I'm glad the TYMs have worked out for you Josh. It amuses me to no end how many people still do not get that we live in a 'World Wide' economy. What matters most is quality and the people who stand behind, (or don't), the product. It is sad how Big Green has fallen but they have done it to themselves. Here's wishing you many hours enjoying these tractors. All the best Brother and that is one fine looking pupper you got there. I do love a German Shepherd.

I have a Mahindra , actually 2 of them. I’ve owned three altogether. They can have a few quirks initially, but the dealership was great about sorting that all out

Man, that was a really great video. I'll heavily consider the TYM tractor line when I go to purchase for the farm. I'm amazed at the simplicity of use and the reliability that you've had with them. After all isn't that we we're all really looking for in a tractor anyways? Thanks for the video and keep em rollin'. Good stuff!🙂

I'm thinking the frame for "license plate" is for SMV triangle. I have a Kioti and am very happy with it. I don't like electric PTO engagement. I may have missed something with all the gadgetry. The first thing I will recommend is installing fire extinguishers on all equipment.

The blank spot in the tractor is for an "8-Track Player". 🙂

Never heard of any problems with other U Tube farmers running the TYM tractors. Once they have them they don't want to let them go. Nice to hear what Mrs. Stoney Ridge thinks of TYM too.

Picked up another sub... Didnt know they did Demos with anybody til this video came up. Ive been pondering adding a T1104 to my ranch for a bit over a year now. Thanks for the walk-around. Several comforts i didnt know about lol.

Thanks Josh, I appreciate your input and find them well put together. I'm currently working with my New TYM dealer in finding a t 1104 for my small farm . Thanks for all your videos and helpful information. Glad Mrs Stoney Ridge is better. Been following you for a while now and haven't found one yet that we do not like Jack and Maria

Hey Josh, it’s cool seeing you doing this about the T Williams I just started working at a ace hardware store on by the Harris family and that is one of the tractors that we sell, I want you and Hamilton pharmacies and when I get to the point where I can afford a tractor I’m a buy one of these. Love what you do brother

My TYM when I sold it had over 2,700 hours, with great resale value. I had no issues. My rear axle was manufactured in Utah U.S.A. My neighbors green tractor had a rear axle made in China. The green have a tremendous reputation for a reason, but I have seen several that I am glad that I didn't own with major transmission problems. Mine had two speeds on the PTO, and three hydraulic connections for the rear.

Nice looking tractor lineup. Great review. I’ll see you at the show tomorrow

Josh, good review, and I like the in-depth information that you gave on the tractor but I have used anything from the 100 hp to the 120 hp John Deer and like anything else they can have problems especially if they are used the way we worked them, we put up a bunch of hay with them,now that being said I am not going to bash the tym because I haven't used one so I don't know anything about them, I won't disagree about the price issue the green tractor is pricy but you pay for what you get, maybe one day I can get to use a tym and see how I like it. I was watching you back when you got the green tractor and before and I think that you liked it for a while, but to each his own, I am still going to watch and enjoy your videos I have been a follower for a long time, thanks for the review.

I can confirm they do Branson tractors. I bought a Branson 6 months ago and it has the TYM logo on it. It's been a great tractor so far. I have an initial review of it on my channel.

I really like my T354. I've had it for 5-6yrs and the only issue I've had was that the gauge cluster went black (green lcd screen) and it was out of warranty by a few months so they wouldn't replace it. The new cluster is a complete replacement and costs like $500.. the only thing I really needed was the fuel gauge that is part of that cluster so it stays black haha.. The tractor itself is a workhorse and gives me no issues!!

Tym bought Kukje, which is the South Korean company that makes the Branson tractor. They bought Kukje because they make the best small diesel engines in the industry. I have a 2015 branson 3520H that I bought new. I am moving to Tennessee and will be selling the Branson locally before the move and buying a new, bigger, cab tractor in Tennessee. I am a little disappointed that I can't buy a new 2023 Branson but I will definitely be buying a new TYM because I still want that high quality Kukje engine.

Love that dog that is a dog that truly trusts you

Thanks for the great content! Just purchased a TYM 494 and I am excited for its arrival. I am hoping to have the same great luck with TYM as you have had. Looking forward to more great videos. Special shout out to Buddy. Cheers!!!

the bracket on the fenders could be for a triangle also

Thank you so much for showing us the TYM Tractor. I have a Mahindra 6075 Cab and love it as well. I have a small farm (36 acres). Would love to hear what you recommend as far as bush hogs are concerned. I’m looking to upgrade mine. Thanks in advance for letting us know.

thanks. I was a little trepidatious on clicking on this vid. I did my research and came up with this tractor 2505H I think it is. Mostly bc of the engine. I'm still trying to figure out how to scoop, but it'll come to me as I do it. Got a tiller with it, no mower. Want a backhoe, but at $2600, pretty pricy. I'm GLAD you said you like it.

I have a 2016 TYM T394 cab model with 150ish hours on it that I use around my 10.5 acre homestead. Brush mowing, roadside mowing, loader work and snow blowing in the winter. So far no issues. Extremely good on fuel! Not sure what you would have to be doing to run a full tank of fuel through it in 8 hours but you’d be busy. My only 2 complaints are the location of the hydraulic levers and my tractor in 2016 did not have cruise control which is nice when mowing. R4 tires are great for most conditions but not so much for winter from a traction standpoint. For the money and warranty I couldn’t get even close to the same hp and capability from one of the big name brands.

So I'm thumbing through KZfaq checking out tractors trying to see what I would like to buy a subcompact tractors, and you are hands down one of the best salesman out there thank you for the fast in-depth review of that subcompact tractors I liked it a lot, I never heard of tym tractors in Michigan

Man I have been watching your videos for a while. I always thought "He's not far from me" But I think you are much closer to me than I originally thought.

I have had a TYM723 for about 9 years with a 72hp perkins engine with about 1800 hours on it. Things I really like about it...540 and 1000 rpm pto selector. When I haul manure or spray, I put it in 1000 speed and set my tractor rpm to about 1400 which is half engine speed. When I need the power for grinding feed, I go to 540 and full throttle. Short turning radius is great. Hydraulics are powerful. To heavy a load up front and the back tires come right off the ground. Things I don't like or problems I have had. Front tie rod ends wear quickly, no good place for a tool box so I have lots of stuff on the floor. The fuel gauge goes to half full about 10 seconds after I start it no matter what the level is and the 4wd became intermittent at the same time. While diagnosing, I found grounding the 4wd solenoid would lock it in so I just mounted a toggle switch in the cab and that makes it work every time. I think the control module is to blame but I am used to using it this way now. Had to weld up the front tire lugs on the rims because of cracking. I haul allot of big round bales which has stressed it. Probably why tie rods wore early too. Perkins engine drips a little oil which is pretty normal for them. I had to modify the drawbar adjustment pin because it kept working loose. I lost a couple implements while pulling, noe since I changed the retainer pin. You need to blow out radiator/oil cooler / AC condenser often if using in dust or haying. Will pull a 4-16 plow, make big bales with my 604 Vermeer baler, operate my 13' discbine, and fits in my shop in the winter time with a ten foot tall door. The thing is an animal!! I would buy another one in a heartbeat even with the issues I have had.

Love my Tym T454 Cab with backhoe. Does everything well. Only concern is I've had a catastrophic failure of the white ignition switch cover 🤣

I have the RK37 and after a lot of research and knowing it was actually a TYM, I have been more than happy with my purchase. I come from one of the largest agricultural counties in Ohio so these foreign made tractors aren't the norm and it took a lot for me to make this decision. I compared the RK to all the big names and in the end I felt it was the better all around choice.

No dealerships in my area so I can’t consider TYM as a option. All tractors will need parts at some point.

Your honest, humble approach made me your newest subscriber. Thanks for helping me make a more informed decision.

Kukje/Branson was actually purchased by TYM. Primarily Bc tym wanted the extremely reliable Kukje engines as I understand it. I have a 22 model Branson which has tym stickers. It’s low hours but has been trouble free and much heavier; was very affordable compared to green/orange.

Nice dog! We have a great pyranese, 130 pounds worth.

I have a 2019 TYM T474 with 409h as we speak, not a single issue with it. My channel specialize in this tractor model since I've had it for 3+ years now. Not had a single regen request, keep an eye on nuts and bolts, service per factory spec with filters and fluids and it will threat you right.

The bracket on the back fender is for the slow moving safety triangle.

I'd looked at the T654(?) last year. I liked it but ultimately the lack of a dealer network here in New England had me decide to pass on it.

I have a ct230 we call it kitty. We got it 2011, do scheduled maintenance. The only problem we've had was to replace the radiator about after about 6 years. 2023 we had to replace two hydraulic lines on on the outriggers for the backhoe setup. In September we had our first issue and that was it needed a new fuel pump that was less than fifty bucks. And of course I put it on. It is a bobcat.

Great and informative. Thank you. IO see these machines in many fields.

If the button on the back of that lever is like the button on the back of the lever on most tractors it disengages the clutch, not engages when you push on it. Otherwise you would have to drive around most of the time pushing on that button to keep it engaged. 😁

Great information! Been impressed with them since you first got them.

God bless all you farmers I'm happy that you found some decent equipment I truly believe the Korean companies are trying to be the best they can be I just hope the supply chain hold up on these tractors

That bracket on the fender is for a triangular slow-moving vehicle emblem. I believe that DOT requires those when you drive your tractor on the street.

You can cause so many problems by putting stuff in the DEF tank that there should be a lock on it too.

That bracket on the 110 horse is for the big slow moving equipment reflective triangle.

Like the TYM tractor line. But really seem to have low hrs. Sounds more like hobby farming!?!?!?

Its wonderful to see how the tractors work

What a beautiful farm you are building! Have you seen Eustace Conway lately?… I think one of the biggest things about tractors is a quality dealer. When the dealership fails so does the tractor. Most won’t buy their brand again. Nice overview of your tractors though.

I love the little tractor. Little T is around the size of tractor I want and as big as I would honestly ever need probably. Someday I'll have something around that size.

TYM has owned Kukje - the parent company of Branson - for several years. They have now joined the North American operations of TYM and Branson.

Love buddy the German Shepherd. Great information on the TYM tractors. I think it’s about time for you to get a hold of Kyle at R&R buildings and get your new home built. I also heard you say my wife, does that mean you two have gotten remarried, I don’t think so. 😮

A lot of the comments remind me of what some people were saying about Honda and Toyota back in the eighties when their cars started making a dent in the Big Three's sales numbers. Guess we'll have to wait a few years to find out how good some of these "new to us but are known in other parts of the world" tractors really are. I have a feeling JD won't have quite the market share they have now.

Thank you for showing the DOG. Does it HERD your Animals. It looks so relaxed in the front Bucket. My mini Australian Shepherd likes to sit on my Lap, when I operate my Backhoe.

I upgraded from a Deere 2305 to a LS MT3-40 and I couldn't be happier I also went from open station to a cab. I couldn't even think about getting a cab tractor with green paint for what I paid for the LS.

My John Deere is 20 years old and worked hard especially plowing snow on a long steep road with lots of drifting snow, so far never had a repair yet, so call me in 18 years , then we can compare then. Could need a repair tomorrow but so far none.

Man the small one would really work for me. I’m still digging stumps.

I purchased a T503 HST Cab in 2013. The Cat/Perkin engine went into over rev and self destructed @ 580hrs, something let go under the front cover and ate all the teeth on every gear causing the governor to fail. When I contacted TYM, they informed me that the tractor had the 7 yr warrant not the engine, that had a 2 year warranty from Perkins (which expired) and the long block would cost $9000 and me having to do the work. Finally found a complete used engine for $3200 delivered. One thing that has always irritated me is that the HST doesn't release quick enough when I pushing and causes the engine to stall, so I need to pay attention and start releasing the pedal sooner(yes I know about the 3 way selector switch and I have a Kubota that doesn't do that). Other than that I really enjoy the tractor.

It's nice to hear that TYM is teaming up with some other brands. I hope they consolidate and come up with subcompact tractors that are nearly as nice as deere and kubota. That small one looks like it needs some refinement but hopefully soon! Love my 1025r but other brands are getting closer!

Yeah, I was thinking about TYM but we don't have a dealer nearby though. They looked like well-built machines! I went with Kioti because the dealer was relatively close. Very happy with the Kioti too! I don't think you can go wrong with tractors from South Korea!

I have a '20 Mahindra 2638 Cab tractor. Zero issues 180 hours so far.

The problem isn't necessarily the brand it's the lack of service/parts with these other brands that are not JD or Kubota. And it's not that you can't get the parts it's that it can take weeks or months to get them so you could be down for a long time. You don't have that issue with green and orange. Resale is also significantly lower on these other brands but that might not matter to some especially if you plan on keeping it a while. If one of these companies like LS or TYM actually put more into their dealer and parts network they could really take off but for the most part these dealers are small lawn mower type dealers that really sell these on the side.

Very good review Josh thanks for sharing your knowledge and advice nice tractors take care have a great week

Very informative video. I think don't hold me to this but in my research I think you will find that kioti and bobcat are also in this family, also made in korea but mostly assembled in usa, think you also find bobcat is assembled in statesville nc.(along with the orange dog) Something I did not like in the mid size tractors is throttle is reverse from what I have always been used to. (foward is slow and pulled back is fast)that's a learning curve I did not want to tempt. I did really like the rear control ability at the 3pt hitch, (but that wasn't enough) I have had a rough time dealing with over seas specifically "asian" areas on several occasions and this turned me away from tym and it's family. Glad you have had good luck with the line. I ended up buying 06 green for several reasons. Those were; non def and a true green engine. I have known the green line for many years and parts availability, may cost more but I can always get them. Truthfully tym was the 1st. that I considered, then the white cat and orange dog, yes in the end I will probably pay more, but again I went with my true gut after what I continue to find. (dealing over sea) I was not going to drop +40k and risk the same trend. This is only a problem if you have a problem, I realize... I know first hand of implements made over in that area where large numbers were ordered and only a few came over on the ship and half of those were missing hardware and some machining was not completed.(what a joy it is to pre-pay and receive that kind of garbage) and You have no leverage to make over seas comply. the reply is um so sorry, yes dear, ok and then dead air. 15 yrs worth... and covid only made it worse. I also dealt with a drone company over there that absolutely holds you hostage... after taking your$$$ No thank you.

The “e” series green tractor is why I am a Kubota guy.

I like my orange tractor, im confident that they'll be around for decades to come and ill be able to get parts when needed.

I have the T264H. I am at 155hrs as of the other day. My Joystick broke away from the plastic body. It’s stupid they didn’t reinforce the area where the joystick mounts with metal. Though, as of yesterday TYM said they will warranty the part and labor. Only issue is having to transport it an hour away 🙄. I didn’t bang the joystick so all I can think why it broke was when I’ve been using it to plow snow. We had some seriously cold days; -18°F. Maybe it was too cold for the plastic and made it brittle.

Niiiiiicce! I'll send this to my father-in-law! 💪

I'll tell you all you need to know about TYM. I purchased a 2012 Mahindra 6110 Gear/Cab (Made by TYM) and we've put 2100hrs or so and blew up the radiator due to a bad cylinder liner (pushing cylinder compression into the coolant system) , in most other equipment this is not world ending order the parts and put it back together nbd. But on the TYM you have 2 options 1. Buy a new motor due to lack of ANY available engine parts (can't even buy a stock sized piston!) the motors are $18.5k 2. Buy a used engine (I found 1 available that was in a barn fire. No Warrantee or Gurantee of any kind) $6.5k. On a Kubota (I bought a M6060HDC as a replacement) John Deere, or any other "Big Brand," this would not be an issue for 2 reasons. The first is parts availability is a world away from TYM/Mahindra. The second is used/aftermarket parts actually exist. I will say that TYM/LS/Kioti/Mahindra are much more "feature rich" stock to stock/premium to premium, they need to in order to compete also they are cheaper. So keep all this in mind when buying an "off-brand" machine.

You mentioned auto 4WD. I believe it stops at at higher speeds, not with traction. I could be wrong though.

I got a t264 tractor and had it about a year with little over 100hrs and I had 3-5 hydronic leaks and one major oil leak. My bucket got bent last year from picking up a rock. Just yesterday the 9th of April 2023 my backhoe boom had mayor issues and maybe bent. Plus the tractor over heated. That all on one year. Done some serious work and put it through it’s paces. But personal I at this point thinking of selling it and getting a different brand of tractor that maybe hold up better. If they don’t fix mine. They fix all the other issues but this one will be a big one. Especially the backhoe. May keep it.

I'm partial to the other red tractor - Case IH. Not cheap but truly made in the USA.

Great post Josh! I first learned about the TYM brand a few years ago on another young lady's KZfaq channel. I was a Deere and Kubota user back then. After getting a 474 to start with and being blown away by their standard equipment onboard list I was overjoyed to be able to truly rely on their sturdy construction and attention to detail. Long story short, my five tractors are now all TYM. Two are open cab, the remaining three are cab equipped. Only had one small issue with the 474 where I relocated its ignition switch because of a rubbing problem that caused a short. Since going with the TYM brand, I've not had a single event where I had reason to suffer any buyer's remorse. Can't say the same for Deere and even Kubota. The price point on a TYM blows those other big name brands out of the game! 😀

About to start our adventure on 70 acres in Mid Tennesse close between Shelbyville and Lynchburg. We have lots of old hard wood forest that can be commercially lumbered, and pastures and hay field. Our background is in horses, and we run a horse facility in Arizona currently. We will only be bringing 16 head with us, so want to use our own hay for feed. It has been kept up, not sure who is currently servicing the hay field. But I would like to expand the field a bit and possibly develope another one also. So looking at Tractors and feel although the 474 seems up to the task I feel that going for the next size up giving more HP and Lift front and rear might be the best way to go? We have enjoyed watching your lumber and are looking at Woodmiser equipments also.

Still rocking my 1997 Kubota 47 horse Yanmar tractor I bought used. Simple and reliable.

I like TYM tractors and I have had a T25 for about 2 years now. I considered a green tractor but the 3 series was too big and the 1025 is a toy.

Most tractors I've seen with the bracket on the fender is for a slow moving triangle

I'll stay Green thanks. Whatever the color, it's your dealer support because with all the electronics on the newer stuff, you will need dealer support sometime.
