One year review of my TYM T474 HST

I go over my thoughts on my t474 at this point in ownership and what issues I’ve had with it.

Great video. Like you, I've had zero problems with my Tym T454 Cab and BY85 Backhoe - works like a champ with air seat, heating, A/C and radio - can't be beat!

I like hearing that people have had no problems on a piece of heavy equipment. It's hard for me to read when somebody has a problem and try and tear down a brand. Even worse when they admit they are new to tractors or heavy equipment. It's true some brands are better than others but I've found that every brand has it's strong and week points, it's no different than vehicials. Where I'm going with this is that no matter what you buy no matter how good something is as a brand you can run into a lemon, the parts fail and you they need replaced. It's not a "brand problem" its a part problem that's why most things have a warranty for those parts that fail that make it past testing when the part was manufactured. Thanks for the review we bought a Branson 4820 last week waiting for it to arrive *TYM has acquired Branson recently but they share the same engine* so I'm glad to see more people having good results with the brand"s".

I just compared LS and TYM recently at some nearby dealers. I like them both but I really liked the TYM cab ergonomics much better than the LS, especially the controls layout. I compared the T474C and the T574C at the dealer. I liked them both very much but I felt the series two T474C was plenty for the job and with third function and second set of rear remotes still cheaper than the three series T574C after adding a third function kit to it.

We had the same issue with two lines wearing on the front axle due to factory putting them in a poor spot. We discovered it about 25 hours in. Dealer fixed and sent it back to us free of charge. Simple fix. Never did check to see if the newer ones have the lines in a proper spot or if it is still an issue with new 474s. 280hrs now and no issues.

Great tractor, I've got 322h on my 2019 T474. Only done scheduled maintenance and lube on it.

great review. that's a testament to TYM is your wife works at bobcat and you still buy TYM lol. Looking to upgrade from a JD850 to a TYM T503

[@petenelson8136]

Thanks for the review. I just looked at one of these on Saturday in Crawfordsville IN. I'm also considering the T574C, but after hearing your review, the T474C it might just be the ticket. Where did you purchase your TYM?

[@Tmaxparr313]

Smiths enterprise in North Carolina

[@user-fv5jo5ig4w]

good

[@mattnicol8882]

Is that WR-long 3rd function you mention dealer-installed? Is there a regular factory option for a 3rd function?

[@Tmaxparr313]

Factory/ dealer installed from smiths enterprises.

Man I can never hit the sweet spot on my 474 loader two position

[@ricardoruiz6612]

how did you change the temp cluster from reading celsius to fahrenheit

[@Tmaxparr313]

I didn’t but I’ve seen someone post on a forum how too.

[@vr4junkie385]

How much did you get it for with the backhoe this is exactly what I'm looking for..... And do u think it can candle 2500lbs

[@Tmaxparr313]

I bought several attachments with it and 50hr service kit plus delivery was 44k

[@Tmaxparr313]

No 2200lbs is the max it will lift with front loader and that’s pushing it.

[@vr4junkie385]

​@@Tmaxparr313ok thanks helps out allot what attachments did you end up getting??? I'm stuck between this one and the kioti Dk4210 I need a backhoe and loader both look great

[@vr4junkie385]

​@@Tmaxparr313do you think it'll tip over at 2400 lbs

[@srsatlaf4730]

@@vr4junkie385 You might look at the T494C or the T574C, they both have the same Kukje engine in them, except they are heavier frames and also have heavier loaders that lift 2790 lbs at the pins, and not much more in cost over the T474C. The engine on the T547C is turbo charged to get the extra HP at 55 HP. They also both come standard with two sets of rear remotes.
