How big of a rotary cutter have you ran on your t494? I've been running 6 ft on mine and was wondering if anyone has tried to run a 7 ft and if they had any issues or not?

You can keep your loader in the upright position when draining your hydro fluid?

So what's the verdict on the shifter fork fork repair? TYM is on the short list of possibilities for my next / bigger tractor for heavier work and some forestry use. I understand the quality of tractor dealership you work with is generally more important than the color of the paint, and your dealer's handling of this issue might give us some idea how TYM handles service issues.

Nice video, that metal piece looks like a piece of a shifter fork, hope it's not as they can be a bear to replace.

Thanks for the info!

Having trouble on my end trying to find the correct filters for this 50hr service would you have those part numbers? Thanks for the video it definitely helped

How has this JCT cutter been over the past yr? Have you have bolt issues with the blades like others?

How has the 494 held up? I'm looking at making a similar purchase and torn between LS, Kioti, and TYM

Ok you've had that 494 for awhile. Can you give us an update on its reliability and performance. Issues?? If so what. Your real life video's are much appreciated Thank you!!

Just checking in to see what if any issues you have had with the Tym?? I’ve been reading there’s problems with the front axles or wheel hubs??

I’m getting ready to purchase the same tractor I hope you’re happy with yours

The piece of metal looks like part of the speed range shifting fork. Since your tractor is a HST unit, please lightly press the forward and reverse pedals to change speed ranges. This helps line up the gears and shift collar to make shifting easier. Usually speed range change is difficult on all TYM tractors. Using this method, I doubt you will have any other problems. It is best you inform your dealer and have them pull the shift tower off the side of the transmission or drop a fiberscope in the transmission. Good video.

I'm shopping for a similar tractor. Thanks for posting.

Have you had any issues with the axles or hubs? I wonder how well it would handle feeding out 5x5 bales...thanks for the video!

Great job! Thanks.

I am looking at a YTM T574. I am very interested. I enjoyed your video however, after watching your video I was very disappointed at mm 12:55 . Your tractor with the hydrostatic seemed to really struggle pushing that little pile of dirt. I have a 33 year old Ford skip loader, 445c 56hp w/a torque converter 4sp. It has amazing power. After watching your video I don't think a T494 could touch the power at the wheels and hydraulics of my 33yo tractor. I'm asking myself..."is it worth it to upgrade to a new machine?" Hopefully the T574 with shuttle will have tons more kahones. No disrespect to you, your tractoror this video. (Great video btw) Before i sign on the dotted line i will require a try out at my homestead for a couple days. Messick's yt channel did a test. The shuttle shift will double the pulling power of the hydrostat. Hopefully thats true ... Or i will look to Kubota instead of TYM

Love my tym only thing took it to dealer for service over a month to get it done 😢

I will likely be getting a t494 mid 2024 and one of my first things to udgrade will be adding / building a skid plate for that fuel cell. Now that I see this I know I’ll need to think about that filter while building it.

Sometimes when pushing off piles like you did, it is more productive to not dump the bucket on each run. Better to just push the pile off, back up and do it again leaving dirt in the bucket using it like a bulldozer.

Did the dealer identify what the part was and make it right?

The manufacturer recommends 10w/40 or 10w/30 for the engine oil I was a bit confused by that all of the diesels I have ever owned shell Rotella 15w/40 was always suitable TYM seemed adamant not to use it

Hey man got a question- how would this machine do scraping 4-6” of dirt off the top for a driveway cutout? The hydraulics seemed to whine a big in those piles. I’m wondering if it would have the oomph

If you need new blades and bolts check out Lancaster Parts and Equipment. They make them and they're much better quality than the Chinese ones that come with the machine.

Is there a reason you don't turn around and cut like using a zero turn? I new to skid steers.

is that one of your diff lock pins in your tranny???? did you step on diff lock while spinning wheel?

Any change of getting a video on all the hidden grease points you have found?

Hi , was that slug you found on your drain plug a magnetic 🧲 ??

part looks like a broken tip from one of your shift forks

Have you had to replace the urethane spider on the shaft coupler. I have been trying for to find out where to get a replacement. Any information you could share would be greatly appreciate.

does the control hit you leg? i sat on one and when pulling it towards me (to curl) it hit my leg. not sure if this change fixed that.

What Hydraulic fluid did you use? J20C or GL-4?

When dealing with npt plugs it is good habit to just use pipe dope. Tape can dissolve and tear inside the system causing issues.

its a magnet on the drain plug to collect metal shavings.

you picked the most problem free machine. mech. fuel inj. the least computers in the industry and natural asp. (no turbo. ) quiet engine also. great pick ,i have 9 hours on mine. i will ck for update on spare parts in tranny. will they blow you off or wait a week or 8 years for the issue to show?

Never juse teflon tape with oilplugs teflon wil gets dissolve

Nice video, great tip regarding how to hold the bucket for pouring hydraulic oil into the tractor, thank you.

i have a 494 whats up with the tranny whine in this video?

sorry NX not NW. my starfish still puckers when i think about that pumpkin i sent back! kioti is an awesome machine but the NX has a major tranny issue.its hard to beat the TYM for the price. plus the GOLDEN DEERE and them there KUBOTERS cant beat the loader lift capacity of the TYM at any price! id say deere and kuboters best days have passed. well its time to get them there flower beds ready for the left handed pepper plants on the back 40 . thanks for the info on the 494

Just a tip that an old guy told me about when adjusting the width of your forks, lift them up about 6' high, and then lower the tips down so that the forks are hanging vertical, they slide very easy this way. I occasionally still do the kick and yank method at times too, but the hanging slide works good on both of my sets of forks when I do it.

Your part looks like a lip off of a casting that was cut off during normal assembly, but got left in the transmission case by accident. Shouldn't have caused any issues.

Do you mark the filter with hours and date?

Just got the same one and like you do not like where the control is located. Going to adjust mine this weekend. Thanks for the video.

What type and brand of Hydraulic oil did you use?

Thanks for the great content! I will definitely refer to this video when I go to do my own 50hr service. I take delivery of the exact same tractor in a couple weeks. Did you ever figure out what that chunk of metal was? I am curious to how dealers/TYM have handled issues and if it is done in a timely manor. Cheers!!!

I hope you provide an update on what that broken part came from - perhaps a shifter fork?

You did great on this vid. Man those filters were on way too tight! Some folks would slam cleaning the air filters but most do just like you at least a few times before buying new. I just got my 494 HST last week. I plan to treat it right like you do. I am in NW Louisiana, Shreveport.

Music was great

Hate to vreak this to you friend. Byt your TYM never cut a dang thing!

Pretty straight grain, have the kid use a splitting maul.

Pretty good video until that God awful country music came on and made me puke a little bit into my throat. Had to leave video at that point.
