TYM Tractors T264 Backhoe Removal and Install

[@lionelroy4323]

Very helpful videos, straightforward and easy to understand. Love my tractor and glad I bought TYM

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Excellent demonstration. Super easy. Good job Tony and TYM

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jamesreinders7631]

I have a T264 coming shortly, your videos helped me pull the trigger.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you! I think you will like it. Solid tractor.

[@richardglandus1576]

Bonjour Tony. Super vidéo. Merci pour tes conseils pour attelé la Mini pelle.. J'ai passé un agréable moment

[@RehoKevin]

Great video Tony ! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the TYM machines.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you.

[@garypavis4913]

Just bought that very same tractor with the backhoe and very great full for you doing this video. In fact watching all your videos on the T625 was the inspiration for me to get that very perfect sized tractor here in Arizona. Appreciate you very much and God Bless you and your family!!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Glad I could help. We work our tractors hard and they are holding up great!

[@houndsmanone4563]

Thanks for the demonstration, Tony. The backhoe is usually pretty tough to reconnect and the TYM seemed quite simple. That's one thing I like about the simplicity. Full watch. Later, Tony.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It is really easy and strong. The way the do is keeps most of the ground clearance.

[@michaelalley1884]

Been looking at the T264 since last fall. There hasn't been many real user video out there. Thanks for the info and videos as the information has helped tremendously. I will be purchasing one as soon as this virus mess settles down.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I think you will enjoy the T264. I am enjoying my time on it. Stay healthy! Tony

[@triggeredmonkey3439]

Might want to try this operation on uneven ground before purchasing. Looks pretty easy when you're doing it on a level concrete parking lot. I own a Kubota B3200 and it only has two Saddles & 2 locking pins no frame underneath the tractor to lineup. Even being that simple it can be quite the chore to get it to line up when you're in the field. I couldn't imagine trying to line this one up.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I have done it on uneven ground, sideways ground, forward ground and flat ground. The outriggers and the boom pick it up. You just level it to the tractor and back in.

[@jacktabak]

Have owned this TYM for 2 years now. You remove the 3 pt. assembly completely. You do not link it into the bottom pins. This is how my dealer does it and it works fine. If you remove the 3 pt. assembly, it is much easier to line everything up. I love this tractor!

[@Dave-dd8lg]

Very informative video. Well explained. Great job!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

Good evening Sir, great demonstration !!! Can't wait to install my backhoe too !!! Cheers !!!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I am tilling the garden tomorrow. I am so excited.

[@4-LOW]

Is it safe to assume the RK37 tractor from Rural King would be the same?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

No sir. The T474 by TYM is the same frame as the RK37. I have backhoe and loader removal videos on my KZbin page. The T474 is 48hp for the same price.

[@4-LOW]

@@TonysTractorAdventure So you're saying the TYM 474 is the apples to apples comparison to the RK37, for the same money, except the TYM has 48 HP? Wow that's wild. I'll have to check that out. Does the TYM use a turbo like the RK55? It looks like I don't have any TYM dealerships here locally in the Lexington, KY area though....

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

The T474 doesn't have a turbo. Just a bigger engine.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

The RK 55 I this like a T574

[@jamesreinders7631]

Appreciate your videos!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you. I hope they help.

[@DerekLamotheiv]

Great video, would you know where one could find a thumb for the backhoe?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I never recommend a thumb for such a small backhoe. I don't recommend them for any tractor backhoe unless they are commercial machines. They are a waste of time in my opinion and will only end up damaging the backhoe with little to no use. They just don't have the reach to do much without moving the tractor a hundred times. I know there is a mount, but I have known so many people break off their backhoe with a thumb. Spend the money on a grapple and you will be much happier and mobile. Again, just my opinion, but it is based on answering about 1000 tractor comments each week. There are two camps with a thumb. People who have damaged their backhoe, and those that will. All said with love.

[@mr.redneck2715]

Do you use the same subframe for the Front snowblower and backhoe?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

We don't have snow.

[@mr.redneck2715]

@@TonysTractorAdventure I don’t think that was the question!

[@subixbarbarasson6052]

Is it possible to have a full cab while also employing the backhoe attachment? Also i really love your channel. I may very well soon buy a T25. Thank you so much in advance.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I believe the cab will work with the backhoe. There is no AC in the cab. Only heat.

[@robertawer6256]

How long is the tractor with bucket and backhoe. Will it fit on a 14ft trailer?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I am not sure. I have the backhoe on the T474 which is a bigger. I used the dealerships tractor for this video.

[@richardgraham9335]

@@TonysTractorAdventure I moved mine on a 16 foot trailer with no problem a little extra room at the back.

[@joshualord9041]

Do you have a video showing how to mount and dismount a mid mount mower?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I don't have a mid-mount mower. I have the backhoe. The mmm will not mount up if the T25 has the backhoe option.

[@deanbarr5740]

Really liked the stability of the frame and the structure itself is very well thought out. With that set up there's no way you could damage the tractor. Thumbs up Tony 👍👍👍

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I agree. I like all tractors and you know that. People are so quick to jump on something they don't understand without seeing the benefits. This unit will come off in under 5 mins. So many of the comments act like this is hard. There are easier setups and harder setups. No more than a person will take this backhoe on or off, the TYM setup would not even factor into my buying decision.

[@deanbarr5740]

💯%% agree

[@inthewoodsidpanhandle1716]

Great video Tony, I have purchased a backhoe for my TYM 234. My concern is that I am picking up the hoe from the dealer and putting it on at home. I am assuming that I will get it all folded up. Should I block it up after I pick it off the trailer to get it unfolded? Thanks in advance Mike

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

The sub frame will have to be put on the backhoe. Then the mount to the tractor. Do you have rear remotes?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I know you are. So much fun and so useful.

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

I like how it uses the 3Pt as well as the subframe! Nice video tony! Have a good weekend!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

The sub compact tractors of all brand including TYM is much easier to take off and on, but this is still fast enough. The backhoe is super fast at low idle with the dual hydraulic pumps.

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

I would take a stronger BH for more time to take it off and putting it on! I don't take mine off that much! lol The dual pumps are super nice!!

[@joegillesp7340]

I think I'll buy one of these.i think the kukje would last l9nger and is quiter.Agree with Tym rep...looks like a lil bulldog.

[@melikesutube]

Thanks for the video, easy to understand. I’m new to tractors and was wondering is this backhoe a “subframe backhoe”? I’ve heard they are the only way to go, Thanks again

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

50 hp tractors and below need a subframe. Three point hitch backhoes will damage the tractor. This setup is about bullet proof. I just upgraded to the T25 and ordered the backhoe. I will install it soon.

[@melikesutube]

@@TonysTractorAdventure thanks Tony, the T25 looks like a brilliant machine and I wish I could get one! but here in Australia they only have the TS25 or the T265 models. So I went with the T265, should be delivered early next month. From what I’ve researched the T25 is a far superior machine than the TS25. Much appreciated and many thanks from down under 🇦🇺

[@donaldkeck942]

Does the PTO Need to be engaged for the backhoe to operate

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

No. It does not.

[@christophertuten6772]

Hey Tony, thanks again for all the valuable info. you provide on these Tym tractors. I am eyeing the T354 tractor currently, but cannot find much video reviews out there. Any chance you can give us a future review of one of these machines? I believe the T394 is the same chassis size. My local dealer also carries Branson, and this may be my second choice.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

The T474 is the same chassis as the T354. The T474 is the newer model with a much simpler engine and more HP. I Love Love Yanmar engines, but the Kukje engine in the T474 is just as good. I have the Kukje in my T264 and it has been rock solid. Many dealer have never worked on the Kukje. They just don't break down. I think you will like the price on the T474 too. Yanmar still comes at a price.

[@jasonsikora4893]

Can you use the backhoe with a hydraulic top link or remove it?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I remove it.

[@michaelridgeway2770]

Good video but can u put a post hold digger on that Tractor??

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Sure, I have a video of us building a chicken run on the channel. It did great

[@ritterjon]

TYM has definitely refined their tractor over the years, however the backhoe could use a little work. 😳 Keep on tractoring!

[@imbthree]

Definitely not as easy as a BX...

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I agree, there are faster setups, but I am not sure they are stronger.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

TYM's subcompact backhoe removal on the new TYM T224 is the same as the BX. I will concede that Kubota is the brand to beat. Kubota makes a great tractor.

[@ggarden8432]

[@keithm9537]

I just discovered your channel. Awesome job and great information. I have an older TYM273 and it is a workhorse. I was wondering if you have ever had anyone report this issue; I have the backhoe setup and when dig I get hydraulic fluid overflow out of the breather tube. I have rotated the fill knob which is supposed to act like a selector but it still comes out and makes a mess. Ever hear of this before? I've called TYM in NC and they aren't interested in dealing with me and my original dealer is long gone.

Can you have backhoe and midmower at the same time?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Yes

[@highlanderc]

@@TonysTractorAdventure I was told it wasn't possible and you would have to completely remove the mid mount because of the subframe for the backhoe goes in place of the subframe for the mower.

Hello Tony, I have a TYM T264 with the tx2000 loader and the B65 backhoe with 30 hours. In this video, you have the BY200 backhoe. I didn't know you could get different sizes in backhoes. Also the B65 backhoe doesn't use the top link.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

This was several years ago.

[@bobcatsmith246]

@@TonysTractorAdventure Mine is a 2022 model I guess they changed some things.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I apologize. I wrote more, but you only got one sentence. They switched over to the BX65. It is much heavier built.

[@20mcarroll02]

I'm considering the t25 in addition to the rk25. Yes I know same tractor. I like the tym because the dealer(Paris tn) is about 30 minutes from me. But I like the rk because all the options for the tym come standard on the rk.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Ted is the owner at Paris PowerSports. He will take care of you after the sale. Walter is the lead equipment technician. He has been there years. When you walk through the doors, they will know you. If you have a problem with an RK tractor, you get whatever hourly guy that is own today. Don't get me wrong, I love Rural King, but a tractor dealership specializes in tractors. I would even pay a little more for the service I am going to get in the future. Full disclosure, I am a friend to Ted, Amy, Walter, & Justin. I have seen them do right by people first hand.

[@Boscovius]

I wish I could find a tutorial on how to do this for the T254 as I'll be taking my backhoe off for the first time to switch out for a 54" tiller.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It is much easier.

[@adamty1]

Want to add one of these backhoes to my current tym how much are those going for?

You would have to call the dealer. So many variables.

Having hard installing my backhoe on my t264.got tb65 backhoe.but one of the lines wont lock on.spent few days fighting and im still losing.dealer saying back pressure but i unhooked the lines.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Stand clear, and move all of your levers until the backhoe settles relieving all of the pressure. You should be able to back up an pick up the backhoe using its own hydraulics. Never leave it suspended in the air unless setting on blocks.

[@johndudley1800]

@@TonysTractorAdventure it took more then that.had to take my lines off and release check valve.did it on vice then went and hooked it back to machine.not unhooking it again i guess.dont have any other implements for tractor so it can stay on til i do.thanks for answering.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

They make a little tool to release the pressure. It happens to all brands. It is really bad if you take it off on a cold day and put it back on a warmer day. The air bubbles expand. Still, after releasing the outriggers and moving the backhoe controls around, I have always got the T25 and T474 back together. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKrSiaeEiJakd5I

[@chriscrispino70]

what is the web site to look at them

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

tym.world/en-us/

[@FromSteelToWood]

I could see it was hard to fit a camera while installing the stabilizers! I've read the comments below and it seems people are not so enthusiast with that system. On the other end, it is a compact tractor and without a real subframe, it compromises the tractor's frame. The video is 14 minutes. So I assume installing the backhoe must not be over 15 minutes. Thanks for sharing that with us. Snow is almost all melted here... Thanks Tony!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It takes about 5 minutes to take it off. Some people don't like what they don't understand. It is a strong system.

[@terrywalker9522]

Great video, I bought an LS tractor about a year ago mainly from all your videos on the LS, I got the backhoe and I have taken it off and the LS in my opinion is a lot simpler and more beefy at the mounting points...keep the videos coming

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

LS uses the same mounts on their bigger tractors.

[@jasoncline4383]

Nice video but I think I like your 240e and my Kioti set up better, they are similar. Don't have to fiddle with the stabilizers. The top link set up is a nice idea though

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

They are very similar. It looks like it was the best way to do and not loose ground clearance. The MT240E is very low in the rear with the backhoe. The MT240E worked well though.

[@jasoncline4383]

I also agree with the lack of ground clearance

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Even though the MT240E lost some ground clearance with the backhoe setup, it only drug once or twice, and it never was a problem. I knew it was there, so I operated it accordingly.

[@mikescott7245]

It looks like a pain in the butt and not very user friendly. The backhoe attachment reminds me of the aftermarket 3 point backhoes that can be purchased. I see a lot of resemblance. I do like that it seems the 3 point arms can stay on the tractor with the backhoe installed. I think they could make some refinements as to the stabilizer pins and go to a latch system.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I don't understand, I can take the backhoe off in less than 4 mins. It only took 6 mins to doing all while videoing. Many brands use the same setup on their tractors. It is a proven way to transfer load to the whole tractor. I don't know of any brand that will come on and off fast enough that it will matter. It is not like the backhoe is coming on and off every few mins.

[@frankcastle7777]

Just drive it doing what your doing. The Regen is automatic so you don't need to stop work like the older tractors.

[@marksleeper3752]

Thanks

[@seansysig]

Way too cumbersome & fidgety. It looks like the hoe frame reduces ground clearance significantly? I guess that"s why I keep looking at the Kubota BX23S as my choice although I haven't pulled the trigger yet.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

The ground clearance on this with the backhoe is still higher. This is just a bigger Tractor than the BX. The BX is a good machine but is light in its tractor features. This tractor has position control 3 point hitch and It has a hydraulic cooler. Both have their place

[@jamesreinders7631]

Kubota are apparently back ordered for at least 6 months where I'm at. That backhoe looks fairly capable, I can't wait to put her to work.

Hey Tony. Nice video. I've been trying to catch up on some videos lately and I was just wondering if you still have the MT 125 and MT240 ? The answer may be in another video but I was just wondering. I'll obviously have some time now to catch up on your adventures. Hi to Tanja. Stay safe.

The short answer is no. We are no longer affiliated with LS Tractor in any way. TYM tractor started sponsoring our channel just after the 2020 National Farm Machinery Show. We can't promote any other tractors. We don't tell people to buy or not, we just show them working. I even tell what I like and don't like. It takes guts for TYM to put their tractors on our channel with this agreement.

[@darkwinter6028]

I think I like the setup on my MF GC1723EB better...

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It is better in some ways, but the MF GC does not dig with as much force and as fast as the TYM T264. The engineers of many tractor companies use this type system to transfer the load across the tractor. The MF GC1723EB is more on par with TYM's new T224 and backhoe. The T224 comes on and off about the same as the GC17xx.

[@darkwinter6028]

Tony's Tractor Adventure - IIRC, you didn’t actually own the MF backhoe because the dealer said it couldn’t be added to your MF tractor; so you got a LS with the backhoe instead? You might not be aware - or remembering - that there’s a whole additional subframe under the backhoe-equipped versions of the GC1700 that does just that (and additionally makes the tractor frame stronger even when doing non-backhoe stuff); and for a larger/faster backhoe that subframe - and it’s interface point to the main backhoe body - would be made stronger. The difference between the two versions isn’t just in the back end of the tractor. Of course, it’s not perfect - seeing the interface points while backing the tractor up so that everything lines up puts a crick in my neck; and spinning the seat around is not as nice as it could be (the latching mechanism is a bit fiddly). It’d also be nice if there was an extra lever to raise and lower the FEL from the backhoe to make repositioning the machine by pushing it with the backhoe more convenient (as-is you have to turn 120 deg and reach behind you for the lever). I’ve got the parts for, and hope to get a chance to install soon, a video “back up” camera/LCD system, mounted on the ROPS & canopy, pointed down with the hitch & whatever implement is on there in view. Gonna stick that on there along with a 12v fan (truckers often have this kind installed in their cab, hanging from the ceiling) and an amber LED strobe for when I need to be out on the street with the machine. (Right now, it’s still raining, but it’s supposed to clear up tomorrow...) 🙂

[@michaelridgeway2770]

That's a lot of work just, to take the backhoe off 🤔

True; but it sure beats standing in front of it while pushing the forwards pedal! 😬 I’m actually a little surprised it was possible: on my MF there’s en engine kill switch on the seat; if it’s not in neural and you get off the seat, the fuel is cut off.
