That’s why I don’t put much stock in what he says. He has been doing is 15 2030 years. There’s no is pretty limited and you can tell. That’s not knocking him at all knock knocking him at all. He is very entertaining obviously to have that following.
I purchased a TYM 574 in May of 2022. I have over 70 hours on it. I needed something that had more than 40 hp the 574 has 55 hp. I needed something that would pull a round baler and a large manure spreader. and 6ft implements . My neighbor owns a 474 and it just did not seem big enough for what I need it for, watching you and Daniel Arms on Arms Family Homestead showed me that that’s what I needed. Here in southwest Louisiana I did not need an enclosed cab, plus I would probably knock out all the glass out of it clearing all my brush. But even this will not beat my Farmall cub high crop A, Farmall cub all the way for working in the garden.
I just watched this video and it is apparent that you like your TYM tractors. I bought a TYM 333 in 2005 with a front end loader and an Italian made 3-point hitch backhoe. Back then, it had a Kubota diesel engine. When you got into the 60HP and up, they came with Cat engines. I owned that tractor from 2005 through 2020. In general, I would have to agree with your assessment of the quality. I do however have some issues with the manufacturer. First, was the lack of dealerships in Missouri. If I wanted to get dealership work on it I would have to trailer it over 90 minutes away. Not only was that time out of my day but also expense and wear and tear on my truck and trailer. So this issue led me to start performing most of the work on this tractor myself and there came the biggest issue of the brand......their maintenance manuals SUCK! At one point, I had to replace parts in the gearcase that housed the PTO gears. The manual for this section and just about any section of the tractor was pretty much useless. A large portion of the illustrations were draftman's drawings! Now tell me how the average "wrench-turner" at the dealership is going to make heads or tails out of a draftman's drawing, let alone "Joe SnuffY" who works on his own tractor. The only way I got it back together is through the parts manual. The parts manual was very useful. When they called for a bolt, they gave diameter, length and pitch of threads. THis was invaluable as the bell-housing had 4 different types of attaching hardware. The thing with using the parts manual though is that I had no torque specifications so I had to use "german" torque......."Gut en tight". I only had one instance of poor craftsmanship in all those years of work. Early on the non-adjustable lift link on the back broke. What I found was that they had "butt-welded" the solid round stock to the flat surface of the clevis. There was no beveling of the round stock to get deeper penetration of the weld. Nor was the weld deep enough and broke within several hours of me getting the tractor. I removed the part, beveled the round stock used a high power setting to get good penetration into the clevis and made several passes. It never broke again. The tractor now is owned by my next-door-neighbor's son. He is enjoying its use to this day. Given the opportunity, I probably would buy it back from him in the future. It was my first tractor purchase and have never regretted purchasing it. I had nearly 600 hours on it when I sold it. Less the manual issue, its a very good purchase for anyone wanting a reliable tractor. Good luck with your farm. I love your dog! He seems to be a very smart dog as was our half German shepherd-half Australian shepherd we had. kd
Josh , I’ve been watching your vids for a while and got some handy tips but I’ve got one for you. Never let a dog become familiar and relaxed around heavy implements and farm machinery It’s a recipe for a possible sad incident. Dogs need to be taught from an early age to stay clear of farm machinery. To me my dogs are a part of the family and i know Id never let one of my kids near an implement, or ride in a bucket like that,same goes for my dogs.
Ha ha. All my farm dogs ride in the equipment with us. I dont put my kids or dogs in bubble wrap. My kiddos operate the equipment. They've been raised right from the start. As Peterson puts it, it's one thing to do dangerous things, but kids got to learn to do dangerous things safely.
I forgot to mention, my 474 has 3910 hours on it now. Just had to one small electrical problem. My version of your Big T has 2877 hrs on it and no problems. I love it so much I've taken it to church a bunch of times. Enables me to get back at it right after the Pot Luck lunch.....my favourite thing about going to a rural church.
Wow, you have put your T474 to work if you have 3910h on yours........I don't have a tenth of that at 340h, and I've been absolutely so pleased with mine.
The hours are super low on all of these. I’m really interested to know how they do over the long term. I put about 800-900 hours a year on my JD5075E which is mostly mowing with a Woods BB720 X rotary cutter, but in the fall I switch to a rear mounted blower and an 8’ push box for winter snow removal. Mostly, it’s about 7.5 hours per day, but snowstorms can go 30-40 hours at a time. I think it has about 3,200 hours on it right now. It doesn’t use a drop of oil between services and has auto regen, so no DEF. I wish it had as many gears as your big one. That’s really nice.
Ive got the T25, about 450 hours in 2 years. Work it hard, it’s often underpowered for what I need but does the job, just does it slower. Mine squealed from the start, makes a lot of noises, not happy at all with dealer service, doing my own at this point, the FEL is bent a bit, moving a lot of dirt might have done that, needs some maintenance. Overall it’s a great tractor I would have been better served with the 2515 but that just shows how good this little machine is.
I've got the TYM T264 and it is incredible for its size! I have a 60 inch tiller on it and use it and the loader mostly. I tilled 600 feet of frontage about two feet down a few inches at a time and reshaped my ditch so the water would drain out of about 500 x 500 of my yard. Never missed a lick. I also found things I didn't know needed lifting till i bought pallet forks. It is rated 1400 lbs in the bucket, not the pin. I'm 6'2 and have lots of room too. Not one bad thing to say!
TYM bought Kukje, who made Branson. The ranges have been merged - they will all under the TYM brand going forward. They're not ditching any models, each model will continue being manufactured and supported by TYM.
I've got a T754 with about 60 hours on it. I've had two problems so far (and they both happened right before the 50 hr service call) 1. L/M/H shifter got stuck and wouldn't move (ended up being a bad weld on the shifter sticking in the transfer case that they ground down to fix) 2. Engine was overheating during brushhogging/mowing with 15 ft batwing mower (ended up I was cleaning the AC filter, but was missing the radiator removable filter that was hard to see) Dealer servicing was a major concern, luckily a new one started selling Branson's right before the merger, so I'm hoping to use them from now on.
I have an LS tractor and it has been great to own. I used it with a set of forks so that I could load pup trailers with our stuff when we moved and it made it much easier to deal with. It doesn't have the emissions because i bought it was the last model beforehand.
I bought a JD 970 way back in 1994. 35 hp Yanmar. It has been bullet proof. Not a single issue. This winter the cold finally got the better of me. I decided to get a Cab tractor in the 40 to 50 hp range. I wanted another Deere. Shopped our local JD dealer Pape Machinery. They are big time. 44 locations in 4 states. I was shocked at the prices. We have all the tractor brands in the area and I shopped them all. Spent 2 months doing research. I finally settled on a new TYM T474. It was 27k less than a JD and it was 10 hp more than the Deere. My son in law is a 3rd generation farmer with his Masters in crop science and with his dad they farm 8k acres. They are all Green. He came over to see my new Red tractor and spent time looking it over and driving it. He was very impressed. Hopefully our new Red tractor will become a special member of the family like the JD 970 has, which is currently in the heated shop and will never be sold.
I'll tell you all you need to know about TYM. I purchased a 2012 Mahindra 6110 Gear/Cab (Made by TYM) and we've put 2100hrs or so and blew up the radiator due to a bad cylinder liner (pushing cylinder compression into the coolant system) , in most other equipment this is not world ending order the parts and put it back together nbd. But on the TYM you have 2 options 1. Buy a new motor due to lack of ANY available engine parts (can't even buy a stock sized piston!) the motors are $18.5k 2. Buy a used engine (I found 1 available that was in a barn fire. No Warrantee or Gurantee of any kind) $6.5k. On a Kubota (I bought a M6060HDC as a replacement) John Deere, or any other "Big Brand," this would not be an issue for 2 reasons. The first is parts availability is a world away from TYM/Mahindra. The second is used/aftermarket parts actually exist. I will say that TYM/LS/Kioti/Mahindra are much more "feature rich" stock to stock/premium to premium, they need to in order to compete also they are cheaper. So keep all this in mind when buying an "off-brand" machine.
I purchased a RK 55 for our 150 acre horse farm, and it has been amazing. I’ve run almost major brands of tractors and this one for the money is hands down the best machine. Some other brands do have subtle things I like better, but at literally half the price these tym tractors can’t be beat. The buying process from our local RK couldn’t be easier. No haggle or hassle with some ridiculous sales guy trying to upsell everything. I literally had it paid for and loaded in minutes.
When I got rid of a yanmar, I looked at TYM tractors. Went with Kioti. Best tractor I've used in a while. Will start in 20⁰ just like at 80⁰. That outside 3 point lever is not just a tym thing.
I have had a TYM723 for about 9 years with a 72hp perkins engine with about 1800 hours on it. Things I really like about it...540 and 1000 rpm pto selector. When I haul manure or spray, I put it in 1000 speed and set my tractor rpm to about 1400 which is half engine speed. When I need the power for grinding feed, I go to 540 and full throttle. Short turning radius is great. Hydraulics are powerful. To heavy a load up front and the back tires come right off the ground. Things I don't like or problems I have had. Front tie rod ends wear quickly, no good place for a tool box so I have lots of stuff on the floor. The fuel gauge goes to half full about 10 seconds after I start it no matter what the level is and the 4wd became intermittent at the same time. While diagnosing, I found grounding the 4wd solenoid would lock it in so I just mounted a toggle switch in the cab and that makes it work every time. I think the control module is to blame but I am used to using it this way now. Had to weld up the front tire lugs on the rims because of cracking. I haul allot of big round bales which has stressed it. Probably why tie rods wore early too. Perkins engine drips a little oil which is pretty normal for them. I had to modify the drawbar adjustment pin because it kept working loose. I lost a couple implements while pulling, noe since I changed the retainer pin. You need to blow out radiator/oil cooler / AC condenser often if using in dust or haying. Will pull a 4-16 plow, make big bales with my 604 Vermeer baler, operate my 13' discbine, and fits in my shop in the winter time with a ten foot tall door. The thing is an animal!! I would buy another one in a heartbeat even with the issues I have had.
Love TYM. Needed a tractor couple of years ago and came across another youtube site about TYM tractors and after some research bought a TYM T264 and love it. Great tractor. Some of my friends saw it and questioned about the brand. I just said look them up and when they got back to me they were saying "wish I knew about them before I spent money on the one I bought." Oh yeah, Smith Enterprise in NC did me right on my purchase.
I'm glad the TYMs have worked out for you Josh. It amuses me to no end how many people still do not get that we live in a 'World Wide' economy. What matters most is quality and the people who stand behind, (or don't), the product. It is sad how Big Green has fallen but they have done it to themselves. Here's wishing you many hours enjoying these tractors. All the best Brother and that is one fine looking pupper you got there. I do love a German Shepherd.
@@nicholasbrown7068 I meant that they are not what they used to be. From quality to customer care, service and support. Same way with the big three auto makers.
I have the RK37 and after a lot of research and knowing it was actually a TYM, I have been more than happy with my purchase. I come from one of the largest agricultural counties in Ohio so these foreign made tractors aren't the norm and it took a lot for me to make this decision. I compared the RK to all the big names and in the end I felt it was the better all around choice.
@@court2379 I run a Mahindra 2538 for snow plowing commercially in the winter. The 2538 is produced by TYM. We are currently at the end of our 5th season running it, and the average shift is 12 hours. The whole route is over 35 km, and includes regional highways. Previous we grew up green. But as I look to upgrade, I will stick with the red. The tractor has had one minor breakdown, and the dealer had it back to me in 24 hours. When you use these machines day in and day out, it's the dealer support that makes the difference. All shades of machines will have issues at some point, and at the worst time. It's your relationship with your dealer that makes the bank.
@@thisthatandtheother100 I hope the TYM network continues to grows. The nearest to me was 61 miles, though now that they absorbed Branson it shows one 16 miles. So if they really know and support them, great! Things are moving in a good direction.
I've had my T25 for a year 81 hours in and use the heck out of it. This channel & Toni's Tractor Adventure turned me on to TYM. Super nice machine for my 10 acre farm.
Josh, good video. Very thorough and informative. Love how you love your pup. I can tell you two love each other. One recommendation though. I would lower the height of the bucket when he jumps into it. At the end of the video he was kind of slipping and sliding upon entering and I was afraid he was going to hit his head. Lord knows you 1) don't want your pup to get injured, and 2) you can bet the VET bills would be crazy expensive if he did. Take good care...
Been considering the big TYM for our farm,,, glad to view your video on it. The cost to get a bigger tractor shipped to AK is astronomical,, making the green ones unobtainable. Your recommendation helps, though I would like to here about it once you have more running hrs. Thanks ,,, God bless
thanks. I was a little trepidatious on clicking on this vid. I did my research and came up with this tractor 2505H I think it is. Mostly bc of the engine. I'm still trying to figure out how to scoop, but it'll come to me as I do it. Got a tiller with it, no mower. Want a backhoe, but at $2600, pretty pricy. I'm GLAD you said you like it.
Would you expect to have any problems with the TYMs with 50 on one and no more than 200 hours on the other? I can appreciate the review and walk through of the tractor, but based on what I've seen...these haven't been worked close to as hard as the Deere was...not really fair to compare "reliability."
Exactly. I wouldn’t trust one of these on a high production farm were we can run tractors 24 hours a day for 3 or 4 days straight in harvest. Or pushing snow commercially. Parts and services should be the top point in making a decision on what brand to buy Waiting for parts and services is not a option in harvest time
Show me a 110 hp tractor “harvesting” my friend. This is a high hp utility tractor. Not harvesting wheat on 2000 acres. It’s simply not the machine for that job. Bailing hay on 500 acres….sure, but not harvesting on thousands of acres
Parts are the biggest issue as well as service. I have a friend with an older TYM and parts are an issue. Resale is an issue as well. Both JD and Kubota have an extensive dealer network, and they hold their values over time. TYM has great features but will they be around for the long haul nationwide?
I have a Mahindra , actually 2 of them. I’ve owned three altogether. They can have a few quirks initially, but the dealership was great about sorting that all out
I'm thinking the frame for "license plate" is for SMV triangle. I have a Kioti and am very happy with it. I don't like electric PTO engagement. I may have missed something with all the gadgetry. The first thing I will recommend is installing fire extinguishers on all equipment.
I have the T264H. I am at 155hrs as of the other day. My Joystick broke away from the plastic body. It’s stupid they didn’t reinforce the area where the joystick mounts with metal. Though, as of yesterday TYM said they will warranty the part and labor. Only issue is having to transport it an hour away 🙄. I didn’t bang the joystick so all I can think why it broke was when I’ve been using it to plow snow. We had some seriously cold days; -18°F. Maybe it was too cold for the plastic and made it brittle.
I got a t264 tractor and had it about a year with little over 100hrs and I had 3-5 hydronic leaks and one major oil leak. My bucket got bent last year from picking up a rock. Just yesterday the 9th of April 2023 my backhoe boom had mayor issues and maybe bent. Plus the tractor over heated. That all on one year. Done some serious work and put it through it’s paces. But personal I at this point thinking of selling it and getting a different brand of tractor that maybe hold up better. If they don’t fix mine. They fix all the other issues but this one will be a big one. Especially the backhoe. May keep it.
I enjoy your channel. I have a larger Kioti and have been wanting a smaller tractor for working in my yard. Your videos steered me to the T254, I got one a few weeks ago and have been extremely happy with it. I'm now considering selling my Kioti and getting a larger TYM.
I have a 2019 TYM T474 with 409h as we speak, not a single issue with it. My channel specialize in this tractor model since I've had it for 3+ years now. Not had a single regen request, keep an eye on nuts and bolts, service per factory spec with filters and fluids and it will threat you right.
Sorry, I didn't mean to hit enter.... anyways I've run a few green boys. A e series and one from before the letter series. I know e is the lowest standard deere makes and it shows. The tractor was gutless and would bog down with any grass. However the older one ran smooth and was setup alot nicer for operators comfort. That being said I am looking away from John deere for my own purchase. I'm going with massey. If the stats are right it can out perform a deere of the same hp. Lift for the loader as well as the 3 point almost doubles that of deere. And also because I just started out in 2020 making hay I don't have my finances wayyy up so price is a big point for me. I want something heavy duty for a reasonable price and I can't get that with deere. As of now I'm only using international tractors and if they were still in buissness I would buy another. But I need something with shuttle shift as it gets hard using handcontrols to drive those old girls.(I'm in a wheelchair) I've heard larger kubotas were decent tractors as well as new holland. As for case I've had family members have problems with all of their tractors under 120 horse. I belive its called the farmall edition. Mahindra has turned to crap aswell as ls, tym and a few other off-hand tractors. I'm like you in wanting to see what his tractors do when they are in the 1-5000 hour range. Ik my ih 706 has 9300 and still runs strong after a engine rebuild
I prefer green myself. But if anyone is buying a tractor look at what service department is near to you and do they carry a full lineup of parts. Nothing worse then being out at 3 am cutting corn after three full days of running around the clock because the weather is great and have a breakdown and having to wait for parts. If you use them you will break parts local service and parts are the most important part of any buying decision None of these tractors in this video are really putting in work like they would on a regular high production farm.
@@lesleyboeder1798 I totally agree. I have four gree tractors for differant applications.. they all get way more use.. I'm one guy... heavy use on two as i use them to haul trees out of the woods and at the mill.. parts have been a issue at times , even the best can let you down.. time will tell....
My John Deere is 20 years old and worked hard especially plowing snow on a long steep road with lots of drifting snow, so far never had a repair yet, so call me in 18 years , then we can compare then. Could need a repair tomorrow but so far none.
I have a ct230 we call it kitty. We got it 2011, do scheduled maintenance. The only problem we've had was to replace the radiator about after about 6 years. 2023 we had to replace two hydraulic lines on on the outriggers for the backhoe setup. In September we had our first issue and that was it needed a new fuel pump that was less than fifty bucks. And of course I put it on. It is a bobcat.
Thank you so much for showing us the TYM Tractor. I have a Mahindra 6075 Cab and love it as well. I have a small farm (36 acres). Would love to hear what you recommend as far as bush hogs are concerned. I’m looking to upgrade mine. Thanks in advance for letting us know.
That bracket on the fender is for a triangular slow-moving vehicle emblem. I believe that DOT requires those when you drive your tractor on the street.
So I'm thumbing through RUclips checking out tractors trying to see what I would like to buy a subcompact tractors, and you are hands down one of the best salesman out there thank you for the fast in-depth review of that subcompact tractors I liked it a lot, I never heard of tym tractors in Michigan
Love my T254 w/ backhoe attachment. One thing I did was shorten down the loader handle as I felt it stuck out too far. Ive had excellent service with my 254 and it works great. I think TYM will become more popular here in the US as the word gets out. They bought out Branson so the Branson brand name is going away but TYM will continue to make many of their models but just rebadging them and continue to support the previously sold Bransons.
Never heard of any problems with other U Tube farmers running the TYM tractors. Once they have them they don't want to let them go. Nice to hear what Mrs. Stoney Ridge thinks of TYM too.
I'll stay Green thanks. Whatever the color, it's your dealer support because with all the electronics on the newer stuff, you will need dealer support sometime.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer My Green dealer is open on Sundays during peak harvest and hay season, service and parts. Thats service. I delt with another Green dealer (I'll say it... Virgina Tractor) if had to deal there I would own a purple tractor with yellow stripes or anything but Green. Great support is worth its weight in gold when the crop is on the ground, and you're broke down.
TYM has bought Branson. The Branson nameplate is going away but TYM will give the Branson owners great support. RK tractors sold at Rural King stores are also TYM most Rural King stores have 25, 37, 55, and 75 horsepower models. Many more sizes available if you stick to TYM
Tym bought Kukje, which is the South Korean company that makes the Branson tractor. They bought Kukje because they make the best small diesel engines in the industry. I have a 2015 branson 3520H that I bought new. I am moving to Tennessee and will be selling the Branson locally before the move and buying a new, bigger, cab tractor in Tennessee. I am a little disappointed that I can't buy a new 2023 Branson but I will definitely be buying a new TYM because I still want that high quality Kukje engine.
I purchased a T503 HST Cab in 2013. The Cat/Perkin engine went into over rev and self destructed @ 580hrs, something let go under the front cover and ate all the teeth on every gear causing the governor to fail. When I contacted TYM, they informed me that the tractor had the 7 yr warrant not the engine, that had a 2 year warranty from Perkins (which expired) and the long block would cost $9000 and me having to do the work. Finally found a complete used engine for $3200 delivered. One thing that has always irritated me is that the HST doesn't release quick enough when I pushing and causes the engine to stall, so I need to pay attention and start releasing the pedal sooner(yes I know about the 3 way selector switch and I have a Kubota that doesn't do that). Other than that I really enjoy the tractor.
Kukje/Branson was actually purchased by TYM. Primarily Bc tym wanted the extremely reliable Kukje engines as I understand it. I have a 22 model Branson which has tym stickers. It’s low hours but has been trouble free and much heavier; was very affordable compared to green/orange.
Thanks Josh, I appreciate your input and find them well put together. I'm currently working with my New TYM dealer in finding a t 1104 for my small farm . Thanks for all your videos and helpful information. Glad Mrs Stoney Ridge is better. Been following you for a while now and haven't found one yet that we do not like Jack and Maria
If the button on the back of that lever is like the button on the back of the lever on most tractors it disengages the clutch, not engages when you push on it. Otherwise you would have to drive around most of the time pushing on that button to keep it engaged. 😁
My TYM when I sold it had over 2,700 hours, with great resale value. I had no issues. My rear axle was manufactured in Utah U.S.A. My neighbors green tractor had a rear axle made in China. The green have a tremendous reputation for a reason, but I have seen several that I am glad that I didn't own with major transmission problems. Mine had two speeds on the PTO, and three hydraulic connections for the rear.
I have a 2016 TYM T394 cab model with 150ish hours on it that I use around my 10.5 acre homestead. Brush mowing, roadside mowing, loader work and snow blowing in the winter. So far no issues. Extremely good on fuel! Not sure what you would have to be doing to run a full tank of fuel through it in 8 hours but you’d be busy. My only 2 complaints are the location of the hydraulic levers and my tractor in 2016 did not have cruise control which is nice when mowing. R4 tires are great for most conditions but not so much for winter from a traction standpoint. For the money and warranty I couldn’t get even close to the same hp and capability from one of the big name brands.
What a beautiful farm you are building! Have you seen Eustace Conway lately?… I think one of the biggest things about tractors is a quality dealer. When the dealership fails so does the tractor. Most won’t buy their brand again. Nice overview of your tractors though.
I can confirm they do Branson tractors. I bought a Branson 6 months ago and it has the TYM logo on it. It's been a great tractor so far. I have an initial review of it on my channel.
They didn't "partner" with Branson - they bought Kukje (Branson parent company) and incorporated the Branson in the TYM lineup. Nothing changed other than instead of Branson, they say TYM - but the tractor model numbers are even the same. They also have a very small "Overlap" so both lines will probably continue into the future and now any TYM or Branson dealer now has access to both lineups of tractors.
About to start our adventure on 70 acres in Mid Tennesse close between Shelbyville and Lynchburg. We have lots of old hard wood forest that can be commercially lumbered, and pastures and hay field. Our background is in horses, and we run a horse facility in Arizona currently. We will only be bringing 16 head with us, so want to use our own hay for feed. It has been kept up, not sure who is currently servicing the hay field. But I would like to expand the field a bit and possibly develope another one also. So looking at Tractors and feel although the 474 seems up to the task I feel that going for the next size up giving more HP and Lift front and rear might be the best way to go? We have enjoyed watching your lumber and are looking at Woodmiser equipments also.
The price point for TYM/Rural King for a 75hp cab tractor is the same as the name brand Blue/Red/Green. Until you get into the 100hp range and above, they’re all basically the same tractor. Case New Holland are the exact same tractor, ones blue ones red.
@@4BikeMike no! Definitely not I have owned the new Holland 75 hp workmaster as well as the Kioti 7320. Much different tractors. The new Holland tractor that I have which was made in 2021 was built in turkey!
Man, that was a really great video. I'll heavily consider the TYM tractor line when I go to purchase for the farm. I'm amazed at the simplicity of use and the reliability that you've had with them. After all isn't that we we're all really looking for in a tractor anyways? Thanks for the video and keep em rollin'. Good stuff!🙂
Tractor choice mostly depends on the quality, location, and number of the dealers near you. My green tractor is over a year old with zero problems and multiple dealer locations to choose from locally. Where I live, your choice is not an option.
tractor financing is about to take a big turn in the next few months....sales are plummeting, the market is flooded with used machines and companies like Kubota are now offering very low...and even zero % financing! Get ready.....we're about to experience change!!
I purchased the Rural King 37 a TYM tractor last November and now have 37 hours on it. This has turned out to be a great tractor so far! I have a couple horses, and this does everything I need to do. The price point and warranty were my deciding factors. I also like the fact that I can get parts and service from a TYM dealer if needed,, good to have options!!
While I'm not necessarily knocking TYM, I'm just saying my fleet of old International tractors will do everything yours will and some more for probably 1/3 or less of the price (1086, 686, 560, Farmall M)
We have a 2016 Kubota Base Model M7060 With no options accept the front loader attachment best tractor we’ve ever owned hands down with over 1500 hours
Nice video as always! I have two comments. The first is regarding the 574 HST. I owned the exact same machine. It was a 2020 model year. I sold it along with the farm when I retired last year and moved from Illinois to Florida. The tractor was flawless and never needed anything beyond maintenance. It had about 250 hrs when I sold it. Here is the comment… my only complaint (more a preference thing actually) was the brightness of the lighting at night. About $50.00 spent with Amazon and an hour of shop time had cab work lights and headlights upgraded to LED’s. HUGE IMPROVEMENT! I never regretted spending 2/3 the price of a green or orange tractor to acquire the TYM. The other comment is regarding your comment when showing us the “buddy seat” in big reds cab. You referred the Ms. Stoney Ridge as your wife. Did I miss something?❤
Thank you for showing the DOG. Does it HERD your Animals. It looks so relaxed in the front Bucket. My mini Australian Shepherd likes to sit on my Lap, when I operate my Backhoe.
A lot of the comments remind me of what some people were saying about Honda and Toyota back in the eighties when their cars started making a dent in the Big Three's sales numbers. Guess we'll have to wait a few years to find out how good some of these "new to us but are known in other parts of the world" tractors really are. I have a feeling JD won't have quite the market share they have now.
All fine and dandy until time to work on it. In Eastern NC you would only have a couple options and if on the coast , min of 2 and half hr drive to get to a dealer / service. Green paint cost alot more but you can get parts in a hurry and you can get service if needed in your yard often times same day or day after.
have ya tried to get "green parts" lately? Oh my friend.....I've got a JD 5065E and it's my second one....first one imploded at around 8 hours! Oh...fyi...manufactured in India too!
It’s not the cost of the def it’s the bother it causes with sensors an it don’t work and the cost of gettin the dealers out to sort it an frost as well
I upgraded from a Deere 2305 to a LS MT3-40 and I couldn't be happier I also went from open station to a cab. I couldn't even think about getting a cab tractor with green paint for what I paid for the LS.
I really like my T354. I've had it for 5-6yrs and the only issue I've had was that the gauge cluster went black (green lcd screen) and it was out of warranty by a few months so they wouldn't replace it. The new cluster is a complete replacement and costs like $500.. the only thing I really needed was the fuel gauge that is part of that cluster so it stays black haha.. The tractor itself is a workhorse and gives me no issues!!
I read quite a few negative replies and I am a bit disappointed, because we are all aware that new equipment is expensive for the return, but what Josh is trying to convey is when a fella works for every dime and is in need of a new piece of equipment here is a reliable and quality built machine for your dollar. Thank you for sharing your opinion!
Yeah, I was thinking about TYM but we don't have a dealer nearby though. They looked like well-built machines! I went with Kioti because the dealer was relatively close. Very happy with the Kioti too! I don't think you can go wrong with tractors from South Korea!
I got a kioti and enjoy the year I've had it and my only issue is I'm lifting too much and turning to sharp and I've killed my two front tires cutting them on the rims but an easy fix.
I have a John Deere 30 hp tractor built in the 70s. It's got 3500 hours on it 1000 that I have put on myself. When you have 3500 hours on the TYM do a follow-up.
That fold up seat is also known as a jump seat, so that a passenger or trainee can jump in or out of the tractor. It is illegal to carry passengers in a tractor that does not have one.
Hey Josh, it’s cool seeing you doing this about the T Williams I just started working at a ace hardware store on by the Harris family and that is one of the tractors that we sell, I want you and Hamilton pharmacies and when I get to the point where I can afford a tractor I’m a buy one of these. Love what you do brother
I would like to see those tractors do work like running a discbine or big round baler. Seem to be build a bit light to handle jobs like that all day. Then will they last for 3000 to 4000 hrs like the tractors I have on my farm.

There’s no is pretty limited and you can tell. That’s not knocking him at all knock knocking him at all.
He is very entertaining obviously to have that following.
English please ??
I purchased a TYM 574 in May of 2022. I have over 70 hours on it. I needed something that had more than 40 hp the 574 has 55 hp. I needed something that would pull a round baler and a large manure spreader. and 6ft implements . My neighbor owns a 474 and it just did not seem big enough for what I need it for, watching you and Daniel Arms on Arms Family Homestead showed me that that’s what I needed. Here in southwest Louisiana I did not need an enclosed cab, plus I would probably knock out all the glass out of it clearing all my brush. But even this will not beat my Farmall cub high crop A, Farmall cub all the way for working in the garden.
I just watched this video and it is apparent that you like your TYM tractors. I bought a TYM 333 in 2005 with a front end loader and an Italian made 3-point hitch backhoe. Back then, it had a Kubota diesel engine. When you got into the 60HP and up, they came with Cat engines. I owned that tractor from 2005 through 2020. In general, I would have to agree with your assessment of the quality. I do however have some issues with the manufacturer. First, was the lack of dealerships in Missouri. If I wanted to get dealership work on it I would have to trailer it over 90 minutes away. Not only was that time out of my day but also expense and wear and tear on my truck and trailer. So this issue led me to start performing most of the work on this tractor myself and there came the biggest issue of the brand......their maintenance manuals SUCK! At one point, I had to replace parts in the gearcase that housed the PTO gears. The manual for this section and just about any section of the tractor was pretty much useless. A large portion of the illustrations were draftman's drawings! Now tell me how the average "wrench-turner" at the dealership is going to make heads or tails out of a draftman's drawing, let alone "Joe SnuffY" who works on his own tractor. The only way I got it back together is through the parts manual. The parts manual was very useful. When they called for a bolt, they gave diameter, length and pitch of threads. THis was invaluable as the bell-housing had 4 different types of attaching hardware. The thing with using the parts manual though is that I had no torque specifications so I had to use "german" torque......."Gut en tight". I only had one instance of poor craftsmanship in all those years of work. Early on the non-adjustable lift link on the back broke. What I found was that they had "butt-welded" the solid round stock to the flat surface of the clevis. There was no beveling of the round stock to get deeper penetration of the weld. Nor was the weld deep enough and broke within several hours of me getting the tractor. I removed the part, beveled the round stock used a high power setting to get good penetration into the clevis and made several passes. It never broke again. The tractor now is owned by my next-door-neighbor's son. He is enjoying its use to this day. Given the opportunity, I probably would buy it back from him in the future. It was my first tractor purchase and have never regretted purchasing it. I had nearly 600 hours on it when I sold it. Less the manual issue, its a very good purchase for anyone wanting a reliable tractor. Good luck with your farm. I love your dog! He seems to be a very smart dog as was our half German shepherd-half Australian shepherd we had. kd
Josh , I’ve been watching your vids for a while and got some handy tips but I’ve got one for you. Never let a dog become familiar and relaxed around heavy implements and farm machinery It’s a recipe for a possible sad incident. Dogs need to be taught from an early age to stay clear of farm machinery. To me my dogs are a part of the family and i know Id never let one of my kids near an implement, or ride in a bucket like that,same goes for my dogs.
Ha ha. All my farm dogs ride in the equipment with us. I dont put my kids or dogs in bubble wrap. My kiddos operate the equipment. They've been raised right from the start.
As Peterson puts it, it's one thing to do dangerous things, but kids got to learn to do dangerous things safely.
I forgot to mention, my 474 has 3910 hours on it now. Just had to one small electrical problem. My version of your Big T has 2877 hrs on it and no problems. I love it so much I've taken it to church a bunch of times. Enables me to get back at it right after the Pot Luck lunch.....my favourite thing about going to a rural church.
Wow, you have put your T474 to work if you have 3910h on yours........I don't have a tenth of that at 340h, and I've been absolutely so pleased with mine.
The hours are super low on all of these. I’m really interested to know how they do over the long term. I put about 800-900 hours a year on my JD5075E which is mostly mowing with a Woods BB720 X rotary cutter, but in the fall I switch to a rear mounted blower and an 8’ push box for winter snow removal. Mostly, it’s about 7.5 hours per day, but snowstorms can go 30-40 hours at a time. I think it has about 3,200 hours on it right now. It doesn’t use a drop of oil between services and has auto regen, so no DEF. I wish it had as many gears as your big one. That’s really nice.
That rear 3 point hitch lever saves you from having to climb in and out of the cab to install implements, and as you get older you appreciate it more.
Ok
On my JD you can even drive the tractor forwards and backwards from outside at the 3pt hitch it's heaven on earth! Haha
@Colin Elwin that sounds great first time I hooked up a the point attachment it took me about an hour and a half
Ive got the T25, about 450 hours in 2 years. Work it hard, it’s often underpowered for what I need but does the job, just does it slower. Mine squealed from the start, makes a lot of noises, not happy at all with dealer service, doing my own at this point, the FEL is bent a bit, moving a lot of dirt might have done that, needs some maintenance. Overall it’s a great tractor I would have been better served with the 2515 but that just shows how good this little machine is.
I've got the TYM T264 and it is incredible for its size! I have a 60 inch tiller on it and use it and the loader mostly. I tilled 600 feet of frontage about two feet down a few inches at a time and reshaped my ditch so the water would drain out of about 500 x 500 of my yard. Never missed a lick. I also found things I didn't know needed lifting till i bought pallet forks. It is rated 1400 lbs in the bucket, not the pin. I'm 6'2 and have lots of room too. Not one bad thing to say!
If you're still around to see this, what sort of things to lift? I want a backhoe, he wants pallet forks
TYM bought Kukje, who made Branson. The ranges have been merged - they will all under the TYM brand going forward. They're not ditching any models, each model will continue being manufactured and supported by TYM.
I've got a T754 with about 60 hours on it. I've had two problems so far (and they both happened right before the 50 hr service call) 1. L/M/H shifter got stuck and wouldn't move (ended up being a bad weld on the shifter sticking in the transfer case that they ground down to fix) 2. Engine was overheating during brushhogging/mowing with 15 ft batwing mower (ended up I was cleaning the AC filter, but was missing the radiator removable filter that was hard to see) Dealer servicing was a major concern, luckily a new one started selling Branson's right before the merger, so I'm hoping to use them from now on.
I have an LS tractor and it has been great to own. I used it with a set of forks so that I could load pup trailers with our stuff when we moved and it made it much easier to deal with. It doesn't have the emissions because i bought it was the last model beforehand.
I bought a JD 970 way back in 1994. 35 hp Yanmar. It has been bullet proof. Not a single issue. This winter the cold finally got the better of me. I decided to get a Cab tractor in the 40 to 50 hp range. I wanted another Deere. Shopped our local JD dealer Pape Machinery. They are big time. 44 locations in 4 states. I was shocked at the prices. We have all the tractor brands in the area and I shopped them all. Spent 2 months doing research. I finally settled on a new TYM T474. It was 27k less than a JD and it was 10 hp more than the Deere. My son in law is a 3rd generation farmer with his Masters in crop science and with his dad they farm 8k acres. They are all Green. He came over to see my new Red tractor and spent time looking it over and driving it. He was very impressed. Hopefully our new Red tractor will become a special member of the family like the JD 970 has, which is currently in the heated shop and will never be sold.
I'll tell you all you need to know about TYM. I purchased a 2012 Mahindra 6110 Gear/Cab (Made by TYM) and we've put 2100hrs or so and blew up the radiator due to a bad cylinder liner (pushing cylinder compression into the coolant system) , in most other equipment this is not world ending order the parts and put it back together nbd. But on the TYM you have 2 options 1. Buy a new motor due to lack of ANY available engine parts (can't even buy a stock sized piston!) the motors are $18.5k 2. Buy a used engine (I found 1 available that was in a barn fire. No Warrantee or Gurantee of any kind) $6.5k. On a Kubota (I bought a M6060HDC as a replacement) John Deere, or any other "Big Brand," this would not be an issue for 2 reasons. The first is parts availability is a world away from TYM/Mahindra. The second is used/aftermarket parts actually exist. I will say that TYM/LS/Kioti/Mahindra are much more "feature rich" stock to stock/premium to premium, they need to in order to compete also they are cheaper. So keep all this in mind when buying an "off-brand" machine.
This man has the soul of a used car salesman. Never a loss for words and never dead air.
When you beeped the horn on Little T, my 3 dogs started barking and ran to the front door. My wife said "Thanks Josh". Always enjoy your videos.
My 2 German shepherds just did the same thing LOL
I purchased a RK 55 for our 150 acre horse farm, and it has been amazing. I’ve run almost major brands of tractors and this one for the money is hands down the best machine. Some other brands do have subtle things I like better, but at literally half the price these tym tractors can’t be beat. The buying process from our local RK couldn’t be easier. No haggle or hassle with some ridiculous sales guy trying to upsell everything. I literally had it paid for and loaded in minutes.
When I got rid of a yanmar, I looked at TYM tractors. Went with Kioti. Best tractor I've used in a while. Will start in 20⁰ just like at 80⁰. That outside 3 point lever is not just a tym thing.
Josh I am in Reidsville and I have my TYM for over 2 years and well over 200 hours and have had no problems and I love my TYM 474!
I have had a TYM723 for about 9 years with a 72hp perkins engine with about 1800 hours on it. Things I really like about it...540 and 1000 rpm pto selector. When I haul manure or spray, I put it in 1000 speed and set my tractor rpm to about 1400 which is half engine speed. When I need the power for grinding feed, I go to 540 and full throttle. Short turning radius is great. Hydraulics are powerful. To heavy a load up front and the back tires come right off the ground. Things I don't like or problems I have had. Front tie rod ends wear quickly, no good place for a tool box so I have lots of stuff on the floor. The fuel gauge goes to half full about 10 seconds after I start it no matter what the level is and the 4wd became intermittent at the same time. While diagnosing, I found grounding the 4wd solenoid would lock it in so I just mounted a toggle switch in the cab and that makes it work every time. I think the control module is to blame but I am used to using it this way now. Had to weld up the front tire lugs on the rims because of cracking. I haul allot of big round bales which has stressed it. Probably why tie rods wore early too. Perkins engine drips a little oil which is pretty normal for them. I had to modify the drawbar adjustment pin because it kept working loose. I lost a couple implements while pulling, noe since I changed the retainer pin. You need to blow out radiator/oil cooler / AC condenser often if using in dust or haying. Will pull a 4-16 plow, make big bales with my 604 Vermeer baler, operate my 13' discbine, and fits in my shop in the winter time with a ten foot tall door. The thing is an animal!! I would buy another one in a heartbeat even with the issues I have had.
…parts availability was my only “hold up” reservation on TYM.
I have a Branson 4215CH, TYM is the parent company of Branson and consolidated the brand under TYM. Been a great tractor so far!
Love TYM. Needed a tractor couple of years ago and came across another youtube site about TYM tractors and after some research bought a TYM T264 and love it. Great tractor. Some of my friends saw it and questioned about the brand. I just said look them up and when they got back to me they were saying "wish I knew about them before I spent money on the one I bought." Oh yeah, Smith Enterprise in NC did me right on my purchase.
I know the Smith boys! Great people.....I really like the tractors too!
I'm glad the TYMs have worked out for you Josh. It amuses me to no end how many people still do not get that we live in a 'World Wide' economy. What matters most is quality and the people who stand behind, (or don't), the product. It is sad how Big Green has fallen but they have done it to themselves. Here's wishing you many hours enjoying these tractors. All the best Brother and that is one fine looking pupper you got there. I do love a German Shepherd.
How has big green fallen?
@@nicholasbrown7068 I meant that they are not what they used to be. From quality to customer care, service and support. Same way with the big three auto makers.
@@johnme7049 the biggest challenge for the green was the decision to be a software company.
@@thisthatandtheother100 YEP, Same can really be said about all modern cars. Quit making things so complicated just for the sake of being complicated.
2000 2500 hours a tractor is considered to be broken in your tractors are brand new yet
I have the RK37 and after a lot of research and knowing it was actually a TYM, I have been more than happy with my purchase. I come from one of the largest agricultural counties in Ohio so these foreign made tractors aren't the norm and it took a lot for me to make this decision. I compared the RK to all the big names and in the end I felt it was the better all around choice.
@@JamesG1126 agreed
@@ronniejenkins4633 Can you two elaborate on these comments? Did you have a bad experience?
@@court2379 I run a Mahindra 2538 for snow plowing commercially in the winter. The 2538 is produced by TYM. We are currently at the end of our 5th season running it, and the average shift is 12 hours. The whole route is over 35 km, and includes regional highways.
Previous we grew up green. But as I look to upgrade, I will stick with the red. The tractor has had one minor breakdown, and the dealer had it back to me in 24 hours. When you use these machines day in and day out, it's the dealer support that makes the difference.
All shades of machines will have issues at some point, and at the worst time. It's your relationship with your dealer that makes the bank.
@@thisthatandtheother100 I hope the TYM network continues to grows. The nearest to me was 61 miles, though now that they absorbed Branson it shows one 16 miles. So if they really know and support them, great! Things are moving in a good direction.
@@court2379 My understanding is that both the Branson dealers and the TYM dealers will supply both. My Mahindra dealer is about 15 k away.
I've had my T25 for a year 81 hours in and use the heck out of it. This channel & Toni's Tractor Adventure turned me on to TYM. Super nice machine for my 10 acre farm.
Josh, good video. Very thorough and informative. Love how you love your pup. I can tell you two love each other. One recommendation though. I would lower the height of the bucket when he jumps into it. At the end of the video he was kind of slipping and sliding upon entering and I was afraid he was going to hit his head. Lord knows you 1) don't want your pup to get injured, and 2) you can bet the VET bills would be crazy expensive if he did. Take good care...
Been considering the big TYM for our farm,,, glad to view your video on it. The cost to get a bigger tractor shipped to AK is astronomical,, making the green ones unobtainable. Your recommendation helps, though I would like to here about it once you have more running hrs. Thanks ,,, God bless
thanks. I was a little trepidatious on clicking on this vid. I did my research and came up with this tractor 2505H I think it is. Mostly bc of the engine. I'm still trying to figure out how to scoop, but it'll come to me as I do it. Got a tiller with it, no mower. Want a backhoe, but at $2600, pretty pricy. I'm GLAD you said you like it.
Would you expect to have any problems with the TYMs with 50 on one and no more than 200 hours on the other? I can appreciate the review and walk through of the tractor, but based on what I've seen...these haven't been worked close to as hard as the Deere was...not really fair to compare "reliability."
Yea put 10 plus hours on that thing even 6 days a week for atleast 8-9 months of the year then do a review! He’s still a hobby farmer
Exactly. I wouldn’t trust one of these on a high production farm were we can run tractors 24 hours a day for 3 or 4 days straight in harvest. Or pushing snow commercially.
Parts and services should be the top point in making a decision on what brand to buy
Waiting for parts and services is not a option in harvest time
Deere went back to the dealer with under 10 hours on it. Not on problem with any TYM product
Show me a 110 hp tractor “harvesting” my friend. This is a high hp utility tractor. Not harvesting wheat on 2000 acres. It’s simply not the machine for that job. Bailing hay on 500 acres….sure, but not harvesting on thousands of acres
I just bought a TYM T264 with a loader and backhoe about 2 months ago, and I love the tractor so far.
No dealerships in my area so I can’t consider TYM as a option. All tractors will need parts at some point.
Parts are the biggest issue as well as service. I have a friend with an older TYM and parts are an issue. Resale is an issue as well. Both JD and Kubota have an extensive dealer network, and they hold their values over time.
TYM has great features but will they be around for the long haul nationwide?
I have a Mahindra , actually 2 of them. I’ve owned three altogether. They can have a few quirks initially, but the dealership was great about sorting that all out
I have a '20 Mahindra 2638 cab tractor, zero issues, great tractor
I'm thinking the frame for "license plate" is for SMV triangle. I have a Kioti and am very happy with it. I don't like electric PTO engagement. I may have missed something with all the gadgetry. The first thing I will recommend is installing fire extinguishers on all equipment.
I have the T264H. I am at 155hrs as of the other day. My Joystick broke away from the plastic body. It’s stupid they didn’t reinforce the area where the joystick mounts with metal.
Though, as of yesterday TYM said they will warranty the part and labor. Only issue is having to transport it an hour away 🙄.
I didn’t bang the joystick so all I can think why it broke was when I’ve been using it to plow snow. We had some seriously cold days; -18°F. Maybe it was too cold for the plastic and made it brittle.
The bracket on the back fender is for the slow moving safety triangle.
I got a t264 tractor and had it about a year with little over 100hrs and I had 3-5 hydronic leaks and one major oil leak. My bucket got bent last year from picking up a rock. Just yesterday the 9th of April 2023 my backhoe boom had mayor issues and maybe bent. Plus the tractor over heated. That all on one year. Done some serious work and put it through it’s paces. But personal I at this point thinking of selling it and getting a different brand of tractor that maybe hold up better. If they don’t fix mine. They fix all the other issues but this one will be a big one. Especially the backhoe. May keep it.
I enjoy your channel. I have a larger Kioti and have been wanting a smaller tractor for working in my yard. Your videos steered me to the T254, I got one a few weeks ago and have been extremely happy with it. I'm now considering selling my Kioti and getting a larger TYM.
I have a 2019 TYM T474 with 409h as we speak, not a single issue with it. My channel specialize in this tractor model since I've had it for 3+ years now. Not had a single regen request, keep an eye on nuts and bolts, service per factory spec with filters and fluids and it will threat you right.
the bracket on the fenders could be for a triangle also
only a few hundred hours does not tell us much.. let us know how they preform after a thousand or so hrs...
@@thepitpatrol yes sir. I've run a few different brands of tractors and getting ready to purchase my own.
Sorry, I didn't mean to hit enter.... anyways I've run a few green boys. A e series and one from before the letter series. I know e is the lowest standard deere makes and it shows. The tractor was gutless and would bog down with any grass. However the older one ran smooth and was setup alot nicer for operators comfort. That being said I am looking away from John deere for my own purchase. I'm going with massey. If the stats are right it can out perform a deere of the same hp. Lift for the loader as well as the 3 point almost doubles that of deere. And also because I just started out in 2020 making hay I don't have my finances wayyy up so price is a big point for me. I want something heavy duty for a reasonable price and I can't get that with deere. As of now I'm only using international tractors and if they were still in buissness I would buy another. But I need something with shuttle shift as it gets hard using handcontrols to drive those old girls.(I'm in a wheelchair) I've heard larger kubotas were decent tractors as well as new holland. As for case I've had family members have problems with all of their tractors under 120 horse. I belive its called the farmall edition. Mahindra has turned to crap aswell as ls, tym and a few other off-hand tractors. I'm like you in wanting to see what his tractors do when they are in the 1-5000 hour range. Ik my ih 706 has 9300 and still runs strong after a engine rebuild
@@paralyzedlife8763 case and new Holland are the same and have been for awhile
I prefer green myself. But if anyone is buying a tractor look at what service department is near to you and do they carry a full lineup of parts. Nothing worse then being out at 3 am cutting corn after three full days of running around the clock because the weather is great and have a breakdown and having to wait for parts. If you use them you will break parts local service and parts are the most important part of any buying decision
None of these tractors in this video are really putting in work like they would on a regular high production farm.
@@lesleyboeder1798 I totally agree. I have four gree tractors for differant applications.. they all get way more use.. I'm one guy... heavy use on two as i use them to haul trees out of the woods and at the mill.. parts have been a issue at times , even the best can let you down.. time will tell....
My John Deere is 20 years old and worked hard especially plowing snow on a long steep road with lots of drifting snow, so far never had a repair yet, so call me in 18 years , then we can compare then. Could need a repair tomorrow but so far none.
I had a 4110 and it was bulletproof. Wish I’d kept it
I have a ct230 we call it kitty. We got it 2011, do scheduled maintenance. The only problem we've had was to replace the radiator about after about 6 years. 2023 we had to replace two hydraulic lines on on the outriggers for the backhoe setup. In September we had our first issue and that was it needed a new fuel pump that was less than fifty bucks. And of course I put it on. It is a bobcat.
Thank you so much for showing us the TYM Tractor. I have a Mahindra 6075 Cab and love it as well. I have a small farm (36 acres). Would love to hear what you recommend as far as bush hogs are concerned. I’m looking to upgrade mine. Thanks in advance for letting us know.
That bracket on the fender is for a triangular slow-moving vehicle emblem.
I believe that DOT requires those when you drive your tractor on the street.
So I'm thumbing through RUclips checking out tractors trying to see what I would like to buy a subcompact tractors, and you are hands down one of the best salesman out there thank you for the fast in-depth review of that subcompact tractors I liked it a lot, I never heard of tym tractors in Michigan
Love my T254 w/ backhoe attachment. One thing I did was shorten down the loader handle as I felt it stuck out too far. Ive had excellent service with my 254 and it works great. I think TYM will become more popular here in the US as the word gets out. They bought out Branson so the Branson brand name is going away but TYM will continue to make many of their models but just rebadging them and continue to support the previously sold Bransons.
Never heard of any problems with other U Tube farmers running the TYM tractors. Once they have them they don't want to let them go. Nice to hear what Mrs. Stoney Ridge thinks of TYM too.
I'll stay Green thanks. Whatever the color, it's your dealer support because with all the electronics on the newer stuff, you will need dealer support sometime.
dealer is right down the road my friend.......my Green tractor is made in India
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer My Green dealer is open on Sundays during peak harvest and hay season, service and parts. Thats service. I delt with another Green dealer (I'll say it... Virgina Tractor) if had to deal there I would own a purple tractor with yellow stripes or anything but Green. Great support is worth its weight in gold when the crop is on the ground, and you're broke down.
TYM has bought Branson. The Branson nameplate is going away but TYM will give the Branson owners great support.
RK tractors sold at Rural King stores are also TYM most Rural King stores have 25, 37, 55, and 75 horsepower models. Many more sizes available if you stick to TYM
Tym bought Kukje, which is the South Korean company that makes the Branson tractor. They bought Kukje because they make the best small diesel engines in the industry.
I have a 2015 branson 3520H that I bought new. I am moving to Tennessee and will be selling the Branson locally before the move and buying a new, bigger, cab tractor in Tennessee. I am a little disappointed that I can't buy a new 2023 Branson but I will definitely be buying a new TYM because I still want that high quality Kukje engine.
I purchased a T503 HST Cab in 2013. The Cat/Perkin engine went into over rev and self destructed @ 580hrs, something let go under the front cover and ate all the teeth on every gear causing the governor to fail. When I contacted TYM, they informed me that the tractor had the 7 yr warrant not the engine, that had a 2 year warranty from Perkins (which expired) and the long block would cost $9000 and me having to do the work. Finally found a complete used engine for $3200 delivered. One thing that has always irritated me is that the HST doesn't release quick enough when I pushing and causes the engine to stall, so I need to pay attention and start releasing the pedal sooner(yes I know about the 3 way selector switch and I have a Kubota that doesn't do that). Other than that I really enjoy the tractor.
Kukje/Branson was actually purchased by TYM. Primarily Bc tym wanted the extremely reliable Kukje engines as I understand it. I have a 22 model Branson which has tym stickers. It’s low hours but has been trouble free and much heavier; was very affordable compared to green/orange.
Didn't tym have kawasaki or something like that in them before?
Like the TYM tractor line. But really seem to have low hrs. Sounds more like hobby farming!?!?!?
Thanks Josh, I appreciate your input and find them well put together. I'm currently working with my New TYM dealer in finding a t 1104 for my small farm . Thanks for all your videos and helpful information. Glad Mrs Stoney Ridge is better. Been following you for a while now and haven't found one yet that we do not like Jack and Maria
great tractor! Been using it today!
Thank you! I saw these at Rural King and was surprised at the reasonable prices. Now I know they are a great value!
If the button on the back of that lever is like the button on the back of the lever on most tractors it disengages the clutch, not engages when you push on it.
Otherwise you would have to drive around most of the time pushing on that button to keep it engaged. 😁
That bracket on the 110 horse is for the big slow moving equipment reflective triangle.
My TYM when I sold it had over 2,700 hours, with great resale value. I had no issues. My rear axle was manufactured in Utah U.S.A. My neighbors green tractor had a rear axle made in China.
The green have a tremendous reputation for a reason, but I have seen several that I am glad that I didn't own with major transmission problems.
Mine had two speeds on the PTO, and three hydraulic connections for the rear.
I have a 2016 TYM T394 cab model with 150ish hours on it that I use around my 10.5 acre homestead. Brush mowing, roadside mowing, loader work and snow blowing in the winter. So far no issues. Extremely good on fuel! Not sure what you would have to be doing to run a full tank of fuel through it in 8 hours but you’d be busy. My only 2 complaints are the location of the hydraulic levers and my tractor in 2016 did not have cruise control which is nice when mowing. R4 tires are great for most conditions but not so much for winter from a traction standpoint. For the money and warranty I couldn’t get even close to the same hp and capability from one of the big name brands.
Dealer support would be my question. We run “the green” tractors because of the dealer support both parts, service, and sales.
But you can't fix your own equipment unless yours is older and not computer based.
@@Ericbjohnston5150 Deere gave in with the exception of emissions (as it would create some extreme criminal and financial liabilities for them).
What a beautiful farm you are building! Have you seen Eustace Conway lately?…
I think one of the biggest things about tractors is a quality dealer. When the dealership fails so does the tractor. Most won’t buy their brand again. Nice overview of your tractors though.
I can confirm they do Branson tractors. I bought a Branson 6 months ago and it has the TYM logo on it. It's been a great tractor so far. I have an initial review of it on my channel.
They didn't "partner" with Branson - they bought Kukje (Branson parent company) and incorporated the Branson in the TYM lineup. Nothing changed other than instead of Branson, they say TYM - but the tractor model numbers are even the same. They also have a very small "Overlap" so both lines will probably continue into the future and now any TYM or Branson dealer now has access to both lineups of tractors.
Love my Tym T454 Cab with backhoe. Does everything well. Only concern is I've had a catastrophic failure of the white ignition switch cover 🤣
About to start our adventure on 70 acres in Mid Tennesse close between Shelbyville and Lynchburg. We have lots of old hard wood forest that can be commercially lumbered, and pastures and hay field. Our background is in horses, and we run a horse facility in Arizona currently. We will only be bringing 16 head with us, so want to use our own hay for feed. It has been kept up, not sure who is currently servicing the hay field. But I would like to expand the field a bit and possibly develope another one also. So looking at Tractors and feel although the 474 seems up to the task I feel that going for the next size up giving more HP and Lift front and rear might be the best way to go? We have enjoyed watching your lumber and are looking at Woodmiser equipments also.
Most tractors I've seen with the bracket on the fender is for a slow moving triangle
The price point for TYM/Rural King for a 75hp cab tractor is the same as the name brand Blue/Red/Green. Until you get into the 100hp range and above, they’re all basically the same tractor. Case New Holland are the exact same tractor, ones blue ones red.
@@4BikeMike WHAT ??
@@4BikeMike no! Definitely not I have owned the new Holland 75 hp workmaster as well as the Kioti 7320. Much different tractors. The new Holland tractor that I have which was made in 2021 was built in turkey!
Man, that was a really great video. I'll heavily consider the TYM tractor line when I go to purchase for the farm. I'm amazed at the simplicity of use and the reliability that you've had with them. After all isn't that we we're all really looking for in a tractor anyways? Thanks for the video and keep em rollin'. Good stuff!🙂
Tractor choice mostly depends on the quality, location, and number of the dealers near you. My green tractor is over a year old with zero problems and multiple dealer locations to choose from locally. Where I live, your choice is not an option.
The blank spot in the tractor is for an "8-Track Player". 🙂
Still rocking my 1997 Kubota 47 horse Yanmar tractor I bought used. Simple and reliable.
yeah kubotas makes the worlds strongest tractors on the market kubota and case IH are my 2 well trusted brand on the markets
You can cause so many problems by putting stuff in the DEF tank that there should be a lock on it too.
TYM has owned Kukje - the parent company of Branson - for several years. They have now joined the North American operations of TYM and Branson.
I nearly went with TYM but they didn't offer good finance rates at 84 months so I went with Kioti. I'll definitly look at them again in the future.
tractor financing is about to take a big turn in the next few months....sales are plummeting, the market is flooded with used machines and companies like Kubota are now offering very low...and even zero % financing! Get ready.....we're about to experience change!!
I purchased the Rural King 37 a TYM tractor last November and now have 37 hours on it. This has turned out to be a great tractor so far! I have a couple horses, and this does everything I need to do. The price point and warranty were my deciding factors. I also like the fact that I can get parts and service from a TYM dealer if needed,, good to have options!!
@@JamesG1126 Will do. Do you have one with 1000 hours on it?
@@skippert1549 no, he overpaid for a green paint job.
@@asherdie😂😂😂
Oh GOD ur right. Cant believe the prices on John Deere
While I'm not necessarily knocking TYM, I'm just saying my fleet of old International tractors will do everything yours will and some more for probably 1/3 or less of the price (1086, 686, 560, Farmall M)
You haven't priced a new Farmall apparently..
Your honest, humble approach made me your newest subscriber. Thanks for helping me make a more informed decision.
Welcome aboard!
I like my orange tractor, im confident that they'll be around for decades to come and ill be able to get parts when needed.
We have a 2016 Kubota Base Model M7060 With no options accept the front loader attachment best tractor we’ve ever owned hands down with over 1500 hours
awesome
Nice video as always! I have two comments. The first is regarding the 574 HST. I owned the exact same machine. It was a 2020 model year. I sold it along with the farm when I retired last year and moved from Illinois to Florida. The tractor was flawless and never needed anything beyond maintenance. It had about 250 hrs when I sold it. Here is the comment… my only complaint (more a preference thing actually) was the brightness of the lighting at night. About $50.00 spent with Amazon and an hour of shop time had cab work lights and headlights upgraded to LED’s. HUGE IMPROVEMENT! I never regretted spending 2/3 the price of a green or orange tractor to acquire the TYM.
The other comment is regarding your comment when showing us the “buddy seat” in big reds cab. You referred the Ms. Stoney Ridge as your wife. Did I miss something?❤
I noticed that too!
I have a '20 Mahindra 2638 Cab tractor. Zero issues 180 hours so far.
Nice looking tractor lineup. Great review.
I’ll see you at the show tomorrow
Thank you for showing the DOG. Does it HERD your Animals. It looks so relaxed in the front Bucket. My mini Australian Shepherd likes to sit on my Lap, when I operate my Backhoe.
A lot of the comments remind me of what some people were saying about Honda and Toyota back in the eighties when their cars started making a dent in the Big Three's sales numbers. Guess we'll have to wait a few years to find out how good some of these "new to us but are known in other parts of the world" tractors really are. I have a feeling JD won't have quite the market share they have now.
I'd looked at the T654(?) last year. I liked it but ultimately the lack of a dealer network here in New England had me decide to pass on it.
Thanks man. Feel better about picking up a 2515 now.
I'm getting ready to get rid of the 574 fyi....downsizing the fleet. If you're local you may email me stoneyridgefarmer.com
All fine and dandy until time to work on it. In Eastern NC you would only have a couple options and if on the coast , min of 2 and half hr drive to get to a dealer / service. Green paint cost alot more but you can get parts in a hurry and you can get service if needed in your yard often times same day or day after.
have ya tried to get "green parts" lately? Oh my friend.....I've got a JD 5065E and it's my second one....first one imploded at around 8 hours! Oh...fyi...manufactured in India too!
It’s not the cost of the def it’s the bother it causes with sensors an it don’t work and the cost of gettin the dealers out to sort it an frost as well
Out of all the tractors I have seen on all channels, the TYM seems the best
If you are in the market for a tractor shop around. I did and found Kubota offered both the best deal and an actual tractor that could be purchased.
I upgraded from a Deere 2305 to a LS MT3-40 and I couldn't be happier I also went from open station to a cab. I couldn't even think about getting a cab tractor with green paint for what I paid for the LS.
Wait until they change names again and you can't find the parts that you need. Ask me how I know...
I really like my T354. I've had it for 5-6yrs and the only issue I've had was that the gauge cluster went black (green lcd screen) and it was out of warranty by a few months so they wouldn't replace it. The new cluster is a complete replacement and costs like $500.. the only thing I really needed was the fuel gauge that is part of that cluster so it stays black haha.. The tractor itself is a workhorse and gives me no issues!!
I read quite a few negative replies and I am a bit disappointed, because we are all aware that new equipment is expensive for the return, but what Josh is trying to convey is when a fella works for every dime and is in need of a new piece of equipment here is a reliable and quality built machine for your dollar. Thank you for sharing your opinion!
Yeah, I was thinking about TYM but we don't have a dealer nearby though. They looked like well-built machines! I went with Kioti because the dealer was relatively close. Very happy with the Kioti too! I don't think you can go wrong with tractors from South Korea!
I got a kioti and enjoy the year I've had it and my only issue is I'm lifting too much and turning to sharp and I've killed my two front tires cutting them on the rims but an easy fix.
I have a John Deere 30 hp tractor built in the 70s. It's got 3500 hours on it 1000 that I have put on myself. When you have 3500 hours on the TYM do a follow-up.
That fold up seat is also known as a jump seat, so that a passenger or trainee can jump in or out of the tractor.
It is illegal to carry passengers in a tractor that does not have one.
I'm partial to the other red tractor - Case IH. Not cheap but truly made in the USA.
Just a heads-up, TYM has a factory in North Carolina. That says to me that they are in the American market for the long haul.
Hey Josh, it’s cool seeing you doing this about the T Williams I just started working at a ace hardware store on by the Harris family and that is one of the tractors that we sell, I want you and Hamilton pharmacies and when I get to the point where I can afford a tractor I’m a buy one of these. Love what you do brother
I would like to see those tractors do work like running a discbine or big round baler. Seem to be build a bit light to handle jobs like that all day. Then will they last for 3000 to 4000 hrs like the tractors I have on my farm.
