The restoration and maintenance of proven tractors like International, Allis Chalmers, Massey Ferguson, Ford, Oliver, Minneapolis Moline, etc…is something I love to see. More folks can relate to this since most homesteaders & hobby farmers are buying, using, and repairing the classics.

[@annietaylorsmith3876]

Your videos have really helped me trying to establish my 12 acre hobby farm. I'm waiting for delivery of my Branson 2515H (I understand TYM and Branson are the same company now). The 2515H has a bucket lift capacity of 2000 lbs, far more than that of the comparable "Green" and "Orange" compact tractors. The Branson dealership seems very good for service too. Keep the videos coming!!!

[@mrtrevor0000]

I was looking at the TYM tractor I really like them but at the time the dealership by my place couldn’t make a deal. I went with a mahindra ( made in Tennessee) but TYM might be my next future tractor. Thank you for showing off your tractor 😁

[@danclas5983]

I have the RK 37 which is a TYM and I love it so far. They seem to be just as well built as any of the top main brands or better than some. I do envy your cab, mine is an open station.

Great video

[@tomservo5347]

I've read that TYM uses a Bosch style mechanical fuel pump instead of the fuel rail common to most tractors today. This allows you to delete emissions and the engine is none the wiser. That's a big plus to me as I know lots of farmers that refuse to buy anything made after 2015 because it's a PITA to deal with. Also mechanically driven fuel pumps seem to be much more robust and DIY repair friendly instead of having to have a dealership program a replacement fuel pump. Support right-to-repair in your state! Farmers today already face too many challenges and there are too few of us small guys left as it is. (By design unfortunately.)

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Josh

[@jeffhirsch7970]

I have a 4 year old TYM 394 w/backhoe. It has been a great tractor requiring nothing other than scheduled maintenance. I tax my tractors probably more than most, the 394 has been excellent and I would buy another without hesitation. As far as the American / Foreign comments, some of the best compact tractors I have owned are John Deere, and I still have both matter of fact. A JD 850 which turns out to be a re-labeled Yanmar tractor, and a JD 355D which is powered by a Yanmar diesel. Both are 30 + years old, and are put to work weekly. This time I did not pay JD to private label my tractor.

[@zappazgaming7453]

What do you think of the T474 compared to your T394? I am stuck in between which one to go for it would be nice to have the kukje diesel however you spell it lol. But the slightly smaller design would be nice in the T394 and that is why I originally got the T264 but I know now that it is too small I have put 230 hours on it in a year it has done great just need something bigger.

[@tripler3724]

That sure is a full featured machine. We owned a Case with that type of 3PH, but it was located in a p---poor location, so we never liked it, yours looks much better and is handy. Due to its poor dealer network, I don't believe it will be a major player in the foreseeable future; none has lasted more than a year anywhere within driving distance. You will love the bigger tractor with cab.

[@blahorgaslisk7763]

As someone whos driven no tractor made after 65 I can't help but wonder over the electronic lift control system. Just why is it used? Is it to simplify the hydraulic system or is there some killer feature I haven't thought of? And is there a simple reason why they uses buttons for the controls? Wondering as I remember that on those old machines I could feather the controls if I wanted to go slow and careful when lifting or tilting the bucket. Seems like that wouldn't translate well to buttons. I'm sure I'm missing something here.

[@ronsommer9409]

It is easier to run wires than to run rods and levers. Levers would bring noise into a cab. Buttons can be on the seat arm rest so the buttons are easily reached. Over 100 hp tractors have all gone to electric over hydraulic.

[@HillsideAcres]

TYM is sure climbing right on up in the tractor world! I briefly looked into them, but there isn't a single dealer within any reasonable distance to me, I think that dealer support is more important than the brand it self. Any tractor can and probably will go down at some point.

[@richardstarke4093]

Yes have a friend has one that has pto seal & oring. Dealer he bought it from is no more. Called TYM to see if he could get the seals direct shipped. Said he has to have part ordered by dealer. They ship to dealer then when dealer gets it they ship to customer. Not good when dealer is in Middle Tn and tractor is in North Ga. Top that off it's hay season. Need better logistics.

[@____________________________.x]

On new equipment, if you spray a yellow circle around all the grease fittings, it makes it easier to spot them in the future. Also useful for second owners who may be unfamiliar with all the locations. Some machines use the same fitting for oil bearings as they do for grease bearings, so if you don't mark those differently and you later get it wrong, then you'll have to tear it down to fix it.

[@WTFarmGirl]

That's a great tip!

You're right about there not being an "American" tractor. I am a "buy American" guy so when I started looking for a tractor back in 2010 I thought Deere is the way I'm going. However, when I actually started sitting in seats and reading "data" plates I quickly learned that my "American Deere" was acutally from India. Long story short I bought a Kubota and so far no regrets.

Oil filter really easy to access but you didn’t show spilling oil everywhere because it’s facing down. Same problem on our case tractor. I have no idea why they couldn’t just flip it over

[@stuckinnj9554]

I believe you will find these filters are not equipped with anti-drain back valves (rubber flap). This allows oil to flow back into oil sump, engine shut down. No different then a cartridge type filter. Oil mess at minimum. Just wait 5 minutes after shutdown before removing.
