Kukje vs Everybody - The Video

The Kukje diesel engine found in TYM Tractors is one of the best engine options from any manufacturer - and we will use this video to try and explain why.
This video contrasts the TYM (Kukje) diesel engine with engines found in tractors from the following manufacturers:
Kubota
John Deere
LS Tractors
Kioti (Daedong)
LS Tractors
Massey Ferguson
Mahindra
The information presented in this video applies to the following Kukje diesel engine models:
A2300
A1700

Great video! As a tym 574 owner/operator I found this super helpful.

[@sawmilldan]

I have a 574 that has a mil icon and no rpms ( even thou i can run it up and down. Both local shops could not tell me where the rpms are sensed so i can check wiring. You did in about the first 30 seconds. Thank you

[@Nevz86GT]

Thanks for putting this information together, interesting stuff.

[@tx2sturgis]

Bought a TYM 2400 a couple months ago, partly because of the simple, reliable engine design and manual transmission.

[@TheTractorYard]

Great video, Admir! TYM does not promote their core values enough… They have the most simple, cost effective, feature rich (by standard) tractors on the market. I often tell my customers that these tractors are more “old school” than the “old school” brands are these days….

[@addictedtobedrock5282]

And these are all the reasons, plus more, is why I bought a TYM T474 last year.

[@HamRadioAlaska]

Simplicity is the best solution. My Branson (TYM) just works...no conputer.

Enjoyed the video ,, thanks

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Very informative video

Kukje was partnered with Cummins for some years back in the 2000's and built the A series Cummins I believe. If you look at an A series cummins and a 55 hp Kukje they definitely have similarities. I've got a 574 TYM with 55hp Kukje and the engine was the main reason I chose it over many other brands and or models with common rail/ECM.

[@oldfarmer4700]

It’s a Cummins design and I believe they hold the patent on it. Far as I can tell it’s the same. The A series motor is a medium duty and put in generators, pumps, air compressors and other things that were smaller needs. It’s a good motor and you can buy parts directly form a cummins supplier.

Why do you think liners leaking is a common thing? I found this interesting because, I have very little experience with tractors newer than the 1960's, and I am considering buying a new compact with a loader. One thought that didn't make sense to me was when you stated talking about sleeves being a problem, maybe new gaskets are junk, blocks are not held in the same tolerances(which should be better with todays technology), heck maybe we just got lucky, but I have worked on and used 5 tractors ranging from 35 to 94 hp and none of them had sleeve issues with regards to leaking coolant into the crankcase. All of them have gone past 10,000 hours by now and their motors we have torn into during my life had bearing wear or broke a spring and dropped a valve or excessive blowby or blown head gasket.

Hi,Good video, like to see more.

[@ellobo1326]

Had to replace an egr valve in my LS tractor with only 400 hours on it. Luckily, I had a couple months of emissions system warranty. I like the tractor but know the emissions bull crap makes it a ticking time bomb.

[@AnomadAlaska]

👍

[@MrJwh3000]

The Simpson engine in the Massey Ferguson is old school and reliable just like the Perkins it replaced. Wonder if the fuel system is as reliable as you say the tym one is.

[@gravelytodd]

The Simpson diesel is high pressure common rail and uses the EGR system. The 2600h series is made in India by the TAFE company.

[@richardbritton5280]

Interesting ty 👍🏆🏆👴🐕🚜😎🙏🙏💙

[@twc9000]

I used to have an old 1970s Volkswagon Squareback that had mechanical fuel injection. It was very unreliable and constantly needed maintenance. I'm a little skeptical of mechanical fuel injection because of that, but you make a good arguement.

[@brianhoxworth3881]

I've had a few 60-70 vw, and worked on them every time I wanted to go somewhere.

[@bennsellingit3100]

Good morning.. thank you for the video.. one question... is the 5835 R also mechanical or is it a ECM based system? Thank you for your response

[@UTSEquipmentCompany]

Thanks for watching! The 5835R is indeed mechanically fuel injected.

[@bennsellingit3100]

Good deal.. once again good job on the video.. nobody else has gone over these kukje engines the way you have

[@mariannehiltunen953]

Great info the layman can understand 👍

[@mr.redneck2715]

Let’s face it, in the future all engines will be common rail!!!!

[@ozjado]

I dunno man if I had a Million years to worm on it I'd get it running without the ecm 😂

[@garywest-cl7id]

If this direct injection is such a good design, then why aren’t all diesel engines this way?

[@JesseKlaus]

Not as efficient since it's not adjusting the fuel air mix to the conditions.

[@themichaelcreed]

I'd also wager the modern diesel requires very high fuel pressure which enables a cleaner burn. This helps with emissions.

[@gypsyxxx]

mostly because emissions standards

[@bryanmulligan5319]

All diesel engines were this way. There’s a reason a piece of equipment can sit in a field for 40 years and all you need is a set of fresh batteries.

[@larryames8831]

Common-rail injection is superior to mechanical injection as to effenecy and hp/per díplacement. But, the owner (compact tractor) ưilll not have the tools to dianose and repair because ò the cumputer. I do not believe my tractor ưll get 10,000 hours (35,000 miles) in 30 years. Mechanical injection equals less chance of failure. 😮

[@larryames8831]

10 to 19 per ent b e t ter full econòmy. Ichoose the T4⁷4.

[@wizard_of_poz4413]

Wut

[@larryames8831]

OK

[@larryames8831]

My mistakes. IMO, choose a diesel tractor by the weight and horsepower you will need to drag, push, or supply enought pto horsepower for work as you know it. A problem, inovations in tra tractors always require more hp. Presently the common-rail will provide you the best efficentcy. But it requires a cumputer to manage the inputs (senors). The 50yo mechanical injection pump, though less efficent, will have greatly less liability for failures. Longer warrenties are put in place to sell tractors with newer tehnologies. I brought a T474, no DEF, 48HP, 38@pto, with cab/air, mechanical fuel injection. I'd bet I lose 10% fuel economy to a closed loop system (
