This is sick! I have several platforms including ridgid and sadly because there's no storage solutions like this to buy directly I recently got into FLEX's 24V tool line and STACK PACK storage and was disappointed. $20 per add on and I can't open my driver bit case even 90 degrees because the charger mount position is to close. If I switch positions, the charger bangs against the case when opening and closing the lid. The battery holders that hold 3 batteries don't allow the lid to close if you have bits or a charger mounted on the lid. The FLEX tools are awesome but it made me wanna bring it all back

Thanks for the tips. I just bought the whole set of Ridgid stackables from Home Depot. I know how to stack my power tools now. Is there any concern about keeping all the batteries in an airtight container without worrying about them catching on fire? How do you store them in the winter? Do you leave them in the box all year? Its a pain to do the mods but when you're done it feels so good. No pain no gain. Thanks!

@richardgeary643229 күн бұрын
Just wanted to add to this gentleman's list of pros/cons on the 474. I agree with everything he mentioned, and pound for pound, this tractor is the best value in a compact tractor. Before being turned on to this tractor, I was ready to sign on a Kubota L4060 with cab. That tractor was 8 horsepower smaller and twice to price! I paid the same for mine, $31,000, and the L4060 was over $60k! With a front 66" blower, third function, and set of forks, I was at just over $40 out the door. Now I will say this.... If you want to spend twice the money, I like some things much better on the Kubota. The cab is much bigger on the Kubota, and the fit and finish is much better than the TYM. The overall physical size on the Kubota, looks and feels bigger. Time will tell, but I see no sacrifice in Quality or power in The TYM powerplant. In fact, that (along with price/value) was a huge reason I went with TYM. The Kubota, along with John Deere and many others, have computer-controlled Fuel injection. The TYM (to the best of my knowledge) is the only major brand, that still has a mechanical injection pump. Which means that after my warranty is up, I will not have to run to the dealer every time it "won't run" and dish out thousands of dollars to diagnose and fix computer issues. The Kukje engine is so simple, I should be able to diagnose and fix nearly any problem myself. It is my understanding that the only sensors on the whole tractor, are for the few gauges on the instrument panel, and one that senses the exhaust for controlling the re-gen. Also, this means that once my warranty is expired, I can delete the DPF and never have to worry about re-gen issues again. The other brands, (to my understanding) will either not run correct, or not run at all with a deleted DPF because the sensors send info back to computer regarding the exhaust output. These are HUGE reasons to consider the TYM. Don't take my word, ask your dealer about these things. Here are things I DONT like about the TYM and wish that they would address. 1- The controls for the 3-point hitch draft, and rear remotes, are buried down under the seat. They are not easily accessable for ease of use. I would like to see them put up higher in the side console where you can see, and reach them much easier like Kubota does. 2- There are days in the summer when You may not want to use the air conditioning but need ventilation. While the rear window does open, it lets in too much dust from your implement. I would like to see them add "quarter windows" at the rear of the doors, that can be kicked open different amounts like Kubota has on their cabs. 3- not sure why the fender clearance is not equal all around rear tire. ( they are very close to the tire in the front) I am thinking they did this to make the bottom of the doors wider for getting in and out. This is not a huge issue, but I foresee it being a problem should I ever want to add rear tire chains. 4- Overall fit and finish in the Kubota cabs, is much nicer. (huge difference in quality) And the cabs on the Kubota are much roomier. Having said this, I still feel the TYM is an incredibly better value. The things I like better about the Kubota, are not enough reason to justify twice the purchase price! And I think moving forward, TYM could improve on these cons without adding much to the overall price. And mechanically speaking, I think the Kukje engine is arguably one of the best (if not the best) engines available in any compact tractor. I hope this helps anyone shopping for a compact tractor.

Thanks for taking the time to post a video showing what this tool can do. It would be much more effective for you, and put much less stress on the electric motor, if you lift up every few seconds as it is spinning to help evacuate the dirt out of the holes. When you just muscle straight down without lifting up occasionally, the extra dirt left in the whole while boring keeps extra unnecessary pressure squeezing on the bit, which puts extra strain on, and more heat into, the electric motor, which shortens the life of the motor. Your dirt was mostly dry and flaky, so you were able to get away with doing it without lifting, but if it was more gummy clay it would've made it very difficult, and very hard on your fairly expensive auger. The other advantage of lifting occasionally is that you don't have to strain as much against the tool trying to twist out of your hands. Less fatigue at the end of the day, and tools lasting longer, especially the expensive ones, is always a good thing. Ridgid's Lifetime Service Agreement would repair or replace the tool if the motor burns up. But, that still causes weeks of down time, unable to use the tool. It's better to not ever need the LSA, and just keep on running smoothly. Have a great day.
