Newbs buy first tractor. TYM T574 and 6 attachments. Why TYM vs Others? One attachment was poor.

[@TheComingGlory]

Just purchased the T574 and some of the big selling points for me was the mechanical injection and maintenance simplicity.

[@Bowmans-Woods]

You and me both. 😃👍

[@beardedrockinhillbilly]

I'm a homesteader / prepper with a survivalist mindset, and like the Kukje engine for the same reasons you do. So far I really like my Ironcraft articulating offset flail mower. 🚜

[@vernonhuffman3595]

I looked at that guy but ended up in a Mahindra 1640 cab model hst. As the dealership was 9 miles from my front door. Excellent choice and great purchase. Congrats.

[@Bowmans-Woods]

Cool. Having a service dealer close is an important factor to consider.

[@jwmustang1]

I got a Branson 4820 CH mainly for the Kukje. Thanks for the flail mower story because I was thinking on getting one. Not anymore, especially that brand

[@Bowmans-Woods]

@@jwmustang1 glad to help and steer people away from Del Morino. Cheap quality parts.

[@jackvanschenck7276]

Such a useful video and so sorry about the Del Marino mower, buddy! My 574 gets here in a few weeks and initially I spec’d out some implements, but I have a lot more research to do. I will say I’d like to see more videos of different implements being used on real projects like yours - the manufacturers just provide glossys about specs, etc. and it seems like they rely on social influencers to publish the use cases.

[@Bowmans-Woods]

@@jackvanschenck7276 Once the house build slows down I’ll have more time to talk tractors, excavators, wood splitters and attachments. Thanks for watching and comment

[@srsatlaf4730]

I think you did very well. TYM is one of the best value brands out there, with high hitch and loader capacities. They tend to have more useful features standard. The Kukje / TYM mechanically fuel injected engine is a plus as well.

[@Bowmans-Woods]

@@srsatlaf4730 Agreed. I did my research and TYM had a lot of pluses vs the competition.

[@scottgreene8014]

It’s not normally aspirated. It’s a turbo charged engine. The T494 is naturally aspirated. And it’s not a Cummins. Cummins is a stand alone company. Kukje had a contract to build some engines for Cummins, but understand it’s not a Cummins.

[@Bowmans-Woods]

@@scottgreene8014 thanks.

[@yvonlapalme7008]

Great review. Can you tell me again the name of the owner & dealer you dealt with? Cheers….. Yvon.

[@rikkilee9409]

read about the Kukje A2300 mech fuel inj engine, you bought the most simple modern tractor engine made. the least sensors and computers in the industry.

[@Bowmans-Woods]

Yes. That was one of the selling features. Hopefully a lot less to go wrong over time.

[@suttonadmiral891]

Was waiting for you to purchase a catamaran and here you go :)))))

[@Bowmans-Woods]

Well they both have a motor? That’s something. 😆

[@suttonadmiral891]

@@Bowmans-Woods 🤣 That's for sure! There can never be too many motors!🤣

[@chrisgramstorff996]

Nice tractor , if you don’t mind me asking what was the cost of the tractor

[@Bowmans-Woods]

I don't remember the price of the tractor, but it was a good value for the features.

[@mikereaves6911]

I like the simplicity of the TYM, but the 574 is not normally aspirated, it's turbocharged. It does have manual fuel injection, which I like for maintenance and simplicity.

[@Bowmans-Woods]

@@mikereaves6911 Kukje Engine is the best for simplicity and longevity. Turbo is just a boost. Just don’t start it and then super rev the engine and it should work great.

[@carltrano1325]

The lack of an ecu is why I purchased a Branson.

[@green-zone36]

A fail mower should mow. I will avoid this mower. Thamks for sharing.

[@garyburgess3829]

Where is Murray located? What state? What was the price of the frail mower? Thanks

[@Bowmans-Woods]

@@garyburgess3829 Almonte in Ontario Canada. Don’t buy the flail mower.

[@ronaldharmon9891]

Well that Flail mower issue SUCKS I watch "Good Works Tractor" channel with Courtney and as well as "Tractor Time With Tim" and they love their Flail mowers.

[@Bowmans-Woods]

I do watch those. Not every flail mower was easily available locally. I went with Del Morino on Murray’s suggestion when he knew the price range I was looking at.

[@richardenlighten2906]

Unfortunately you get what you pay for for 574 one of the best tractors in its price range I went from a 353 no cab to the 574 cab love it

[@vxnova1]

Wait what happened here did you rename your channel?

[@Bowmans-Woods]

Ya. The world sailing dream changed since the world is so volatile.

[@richardbritton5280]

nice ty

[@MrJwh3000]

The salesman keeps saying "pdo" instead of PTO. 😂

[@knight7866]

Get a bush hog and a midmower instead of that flail mower. Bushhog are way more forgiving and can clear really thich stuff.

[@Bowmans-Woods]

Thanks. I have seen tons of flail mower reviews using hammer blades and they were supposed to be great for taking down brush. I think a better flail mower would have been perfect. Bush hogs hang far off the back of the tractor so it’s hard to work in smaller turn radius places.

[@JoshLeach32180]

We are super happy with our ironcraft flail mower. We needed one that would do ditches too

[@incognito6469]

I guess, you gave up on sailing and decided to homestead instead...

[@Bowmans-Woods]

Pretty much. Unless world tensions change drastically soon.
