Is TYM a TOP 3 Tractor Brand?

[@jasoncox3402]

I just went through the process of buying a new tractor as well. I was in more of the 50 to 70 hp range of tractors. Like you, I went to the big dealers around me, John Deere, Kabota, Kioti, NH/LS, and TYM. Made a spreadsheet and everything the biggest selling points for me the dealership and how long they’ve been in business price and capacities. The T574 won out not only was it $15,000 cheaper than a Kabota $10,000 cheaper than a Deere $8000 cheaper than Kioti but they were in stock with the tires I wanted (R14) with tire balis weight. One of the biggest selling points for me was the Kukje engine with its Simple, mechanical design. And now, because I did not blow the budget on just the tractor, I can now afford implements, which makes the tractor much more usable.

[@qconard]

The reason I went with TYM is the price. My dealer was 3 hour away. Still worth it to me, and after following Tony for awhile on here I learned a lot. They are definitely doing something right when it comes to customers. My T25 was built in Rome GA. Since you are good with machines, you'll have no problem with maintaining it.

[@ZodoGavis]

I did about a year of looking and KZbin researching and at the end of May of this year I purchased a TYM made Mahindra (EMax series). I couldn't be happier, I have the front loader and backhoe. This thing is a workhorse! In five months I have put on a little more than 160 hours and not a single problem. I know if and when the time comes to upgrade, I will defiantly be looking at TYM first.

[@mercurymangarage6186]

Great video Lucas. I see TYM as a contender for sure. Here in Michigan the dealer network is slim but I’d seriously consider one. I bought a JD2025R in 2022 and love it but the price was ridiculous. Kubota is getting out of hand too. Main reason is not much competition and brand loyalty. People get caught up in the green versus orange conversation. Lots of KZbinrs out there with TYM’s and they are going strong. I think you are on the right track with a TYM.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

I think it is great for the market if TYM can break through and be a contender. The fact that they are adding parts distribution and upping their manufacturing numbers is a good sign they are headed in the right direction.

[@tractortyme]

I made the 1st video on You tube video on how to change oil on a TYM (Kukje made Cummins derived A2300N4 engine) four years ago. TYM started their initiative on the US market in 2018/19. Then Covid hit, so it led to bad timing of doing great in logistics and parts. I'm not an influencer for TYM, I'm just a pay-it-back to the DIY community for years of use of how-to videos on KZbin. I bought my TYM T474 in July of 2020, I now have 550h on my tractor with no mechanical issues whatsoever. I think a lot of 1st time owners of tractors cause their own problems. I grew up around tractors, and recognized the simplicity of the TYM (Kukje engine) being a mechanical injected engine, due to its simplicity I stay true to all factory service and fluid intervals. I truly enjoy my T474 just like Marty on here says, it will service me for many many years.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Yes those are all fantastic points. I agree, many owners create their own problems. I’ve seen that first hand trying to help MechMaxx troubleshoot customer complaints.

[@roadglide1142]

My Z530R Zero turn is a Deere . My compact tractor is a Kubota B-2601 . Best of Both worlds & both dealerships are just a few miles from me and I know they will both be around in the future!

I have had a TYM T474 HST for over a year now with almost 200 hours on it. I absolutely love this tractor. No issues and I have in my opinion, the best TYM Dealer. TYM is making a foot hold in the United States and they fully intend on being around for a very, very long time. My channel showcases my T474 in several videos as well.

[@briandriscoll2240]

Hello. I’m not the ideal commenter because I have only had my TYM474 for 3 months. But this is my very brief feedback so far. Has loader and backhoe. Haven’t removed either yet. Been building trails, approaches and driveways and digging out large rocks. It appears to deliver all the power and lift capacities that were advertised. 1 regen at 75 hours. I don’t run high RPMs much as it isn’t needed. Did my own break-in service at 50 hours. It went well but took some time as I’m out in the woods with no facilities and no utilities. Only failure was a hose clamp that came loose on fuel line on the side. Easily accessed and resolved. It has Kukje engine. Took the risk of buying 250 miles from a TYM dealer. It’s great so far. I’m at 80 hours.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Thanks for sharing!

[@jasoncox3402]

2,000 rpms is the happy zone for that engine. If you run it there, you will not have a regen for a very long time the less regens the better. These newer tractor diesels are designed to run high RPMs. Even for me, it is hard to get past the old-school thought of let it idle let it eat, bump those RPMs up. glad you like your tractor.

[@unioncityfarm5260]

I have a pretty good line up of Kubota equipment. In fact bought a BX23S in April. In 2018 i bought a brand new LS XR4155 Hydro Cab Tractor. At the time i could buy it for 20k less than a Kubota so thats what we bought. Love my LS aswell. Parts are the only weakness on the LS but most can be bought through my local New Holland Dealer. I wouldn't be afraid of the TYM there good machines.

If your really feeling froggy you can slap a rotary muffler on there (turbo) and get some major gains.

[@danbelden7354]

Kabota, and John Deere have some of the greatest innovations in the industry. If you look at the quick attach features in a Deere, it’s hard to find another tractor manufacturer with the ease of attachment of these two brands. Is TYM going to be reliable and are you going to be able to locate parts down the road. I’m not knocking TYM but they use some many parts from so many different manufacturers are they going to be around in the future.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

No question on innovation. I really havent given Deere a fair consideration because of price. I probably should dig a little deeper there…

[@mkeating5111]

I take their move to Mexico to cut costs as a signal that whatever advantage they might have had is now gone.

Deere stuff is like a harbor freight quality tool being sold at Snap-on price. It's mostly imported parts assembled by US labor.

I bought a Kubota L2900 in 1996 and traded for an MX4700 in 2012, and have been supremely happy with both. I obviously endorse the Kubota brand. However, though I have no experience with the TYM machine, what I have seen in extensive KZbin exposure has me quite disposed to consider that machine if I were in the market for a new tractor. It sounds to me like you have pretty much answered your own question as to where TYM is headed.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

I see a good possibility of TYM shaking up the market as they grow. Thanks for watching and commenting! 👊

[@JeffGeorgalas]

I don't think that you can go wrong with TYM. They make a good machine. I almost bought one, but my Kioti salesman was just a little more assertive at the time, and I ended up going Kioti for my new machine. I have zero doubts that I'd have been happy with a TYM if I'd have gone that way though. If I were you, and you have a dealer near you, I'd encourage you to research a Kioti in whatever size you're looking for as well though. Their lift capacities are right up there as well, and they're "relatively" inexpensive to purchase compared to the larger brands. Not quite as inexpensive as TYM, but I was happy with what I paid for my machine. I also don't know if you have any Yanmar dealers near you, but they make a heck of a product as well. Just something for you to consider, if you feel like it. I wish you the best of luck in your purchasing journey though Lucas!

Lucas, in order to not have part problems the tractor model has to be a big seller.

So, for me who depends on service it doesn’t make sense.

Some ramps to load logs on your mill will be tens of thousands of dollars cheaper than a new tractor and will allow you to load any log that mill can handle. They even make small log hauling trailers to move logs around. I don't have a beef with any of the other brands but stayed with Kubota due to similar concerns with getting parts for the life of the tractor. I've seen some fairly new other brand tractors near where I live that are growing up in the weeds, and have heard tales about long lead times for parts. A tractor should outlast any car or truck I buy, so it is important to me. That and my dad is still rocking his 50yr old Kubota that has been heavily used. I wish you the best of luck. Don't forget to compare insurance policies among the brands as well. Good luck buddy.

[@kencramer1697]

I love my 2515H. I did look at Kubota and LS but for the price I couldn't beat the TYM. JD is off of my list because of their stance on right to repair. I will not spend money on a product from a company that actively works to prevent its customers from repairing their own equipment. I don't care if that stance does not impact the tier of product I am buying from them. There have been very few companies that have fought as hard as JD has to keep information out of the hands of their customers. As long as they have that stance I won't even spend money on a JD hat.

"Is TYM a TOP 3 Tractor Brand?" Deere and Kubota are clearly #1 and #2.

Kioti seems a little more polished and they also have a pretty extensive line of attachments, but yes, TYM offers the most oomph for the money - I can certainly see why someone clearing forested land and/or feeding a sawmill would choose TYM. to drag big trees and carry big logs.

TYM does not have an ECM module meaning that it has a mechanical fuel injection. They tried to keep things mechanical where possible and therefore maintenance should be easier. Each year at the equip expo in Kentucky I spend the majority of my time at the TYM display waiting for the day that I can buy one. There are some issues like there is no gauge for the hydraulic fluid temperature, but not every tractor can have everything. For the money,TYM offers the most features. I would not even consider the green since they have chosen to take the path of political activism and wokeness. I love. Kubota, but everything seems to be extra. It’s like owning a Harley Davidson motorcycle and I already have one of those I don’t need one in the field. The equivalent model of some of the more famous tractors are almost $30,000 more than the TYM. That is a lot of money. The other tractors I like are the LS ones. Your channel is great and you bring a lot of enjoyment to my viewing time
