I have the rk25 and I love it, for the price I think it was the best for the price. I have almost a hundred hours on it and I love it. It’s done everything I needed done and more. I tore down a barn and cleaned it up.
I've got the T25 and I'm amazed by how much weight I can lift. Use it mainly for maintaining my woods and the size of logs I can move is absolutely amazing. Had it just over a year and right at 120 hours. No issues whatsoever. I like the features on the T25 better than the 2515. I like seeing all the love for TYM over the past year or 2.
@MHolt-t6y well, TYM did not give me a Tractor A local dealership let’s me use their machines in videos, but they carry several different brands and I don’t own any of them
@@thebonestead Well that definitely will steer me towards this machine when I get to the farm later this year. Do y'all know anyone who has turned up the fuel, how it's done and how much HP increase it adds?
Good video ya'll. I had mahindra 1526 my cousin sold Branson tractors said i needed to get one i tried one out really liked it i traded. I loaded the tires myself i use finish mower bush hog box blade. Have 2 granddaughters that weighed 225 pounds that love to ride in bucket while I mowed the Branson would break traction just mowing my yard i couldn't get anything heavy enough on three point to get anywhere close to lifting 2200 pounds . I traded it for mahindra 1626 3 year's ago. Little over a week ago i traded for a kioti ck3520se shuttle without loaded tires it don't break traction mowing girls weight 275 pounds total now. Branson was sweet tractor just didn't work for me. Thanks for sharing be safe
No brainier. Basically, when comparing them, TYM is twice the tractor for around half the price. Buy two get the 3rd one free, not a bad deal at all. Good purchase!👍🏻
Great video. The TYM seems nice too. I have the Kioti version of this tractor. I like it a lot. Very capable machine. Kubota also has a version of this size tractor too. These are a handy size tractor. Take care!
I have a 2017 TYM234 I cut down 100 some trees on my property. I was lifting logs larger than you are they had the way 2000 pounds and load them on a deck over trailer. My friends have a larger, John Deere, and my tractor beats the crap out of it. TM is definitely the way to go. If you don’t need all the bells and whistles which I think are mostly ego driven I upgraded from an old Ford that I drove on the guys trailer that bought it with three flat tires, I would say that is the series Ford of the modern error
Good video Brock. I would seriously consider TYM but they don’t have any dealers within an hour of me. Not a big deal to you western folks but we here on the east coast are spoiled by having dealers close by. Thanks for sharing your experience.
@@zacharysandberg I have liked it but it’s not like I’m an expert. Probably have about 12 hours in of playing with dirt and rotary cutting. I have a lot of 1-3 foot elevation changes that I plan to smooth but I haven’t don’t that yet. I feel like some wheel spacers might be a good idea for extra stability before I do much of that.
If I had to start over, I would have considered a TYM tractor instead of my current JD 2038R. Unfortunately, I did not know about TYM tractors until Brock bought his new tractor.
Tractor weight makes a difference....a lot of other brand tractors that are comparable to that TYM are lighter weight, which explains their lighter lifting capacity.
This is a factor for me. I have a Bobcat CT2025 and it is much lighter than the TYM. Mine lifts 1400 front and 1700 rear. But I don't think my trailer could handle the weight of the TYM.
My Mahindra is basically a TYM, at least from everything I can see in all these videos and reading online. Yes there are deff some differences, but I feel like you completely ignore the company! Maybe no dealers near you? They are starting to be seen more and more around where I am as people get sick of the stupid pricing on the Orange and Green.
@@TheRustyGarageandHomestead if I had the monies I would get it to keep at my parents , it is a hell of a deal but I'm poor and 🤷🏻♂️, I surly could care less about the jd , I'm a red , massy & Allis guy u had to be semi / pretty rich to get one where I live I think
Brock, I have a 2515h and have been on the fence about getting a flail mower for it, I currently pull a 5’ rotary cutter behind it, and it does well, but I would really like to get a flail of similar size (or larger) but am nervous the tractor won’t have enough power for that size flail. Is there anyway through your outreach we could get a video of the 2515h pulling a 60” ish flail or maybe a 72”? Tall grass, 1” ish saplings, 1” brush. Maybe even a side shifting flail or a ditch bank flail would be great.
If you want to just mow grass the 72" but if you are gonna go out and try mowing down saplings with the flail get the smaller one. A flail mower uses less HP than other types of cutters, so your tractor would handle the 60" no problem for mowing grass and saplings....it would handle the 72" but might struggle once you get into the saplings.
Some manufacturers (e.g. Branson) do not fit DPF filters in tractors with engines larger than 25 hp. Instead, there are systems that periodically increase the engine speed to burn off the remaining contaminants. If you work with hardwood and do not yet have a tractor, it is worth looking around for such larger tractors with 40 hp engines.
I have covered that topic in the past. To my knowledge, the only manufacturer that currently doesn’t put the DPF filter in is Mahindra. I consider that to be an advantage for Mahindra but also they still use a common rail fuel injection, which has a lot more electronic parts to go wrong where the Branson/tractors are mechanically fuel injected
@@RockhillfarmYT A couple from the YT channel "Simple living Alaska" bought a new Branson 4820h tractor last year, I think, and they claim there is no DEF filler (or maybe I mistook it for the filter itself) - I was surprised myself. I don't know if it was an older model that was left in the dealer's warehouse, or vice versa, i.e. a new delivery. I think the engines for them are manufactured by Kukje - I don't know if they are common rail, but Kukje has always advertised itself as an old school manufacturer.
There are a ton of guys on RUclips who have high hours on their TYM tractors. There are also tons of Facebook groups and discussion, forums and places for people to complain about their negative experiences. Do you know what I find? There are no more people complaining about their high hour older TYM machine as opposed to any other brand
@@RockhillfarmYT great, I recommend others do the same. Check out dealers shops, parts inventory, how long they have been a dealer and for heaven sake, if you buy from someone who will ship to you anywhere make sure yhe local dealer will help you in time of need. Many will not because of dealerships who sell cheap volume anywhere and leave support, warranty and service to the local dealer. Buyer beware
And more complex fuel management right? I know when I was looking (still haven’t purchased) the Branson machine was really intriguing to me for that very reason. Simple design. The Kioti Machines look very nice too.
@royreese3213 when I was shopping for this tractor I really wanted the 2620. It was actually 2k more than this 2515. I would also have to pay for the linked peddle. It's standard on the 2515.
Coming up on my 50 hour service on the 474. Are you aware of the 3 point issue with the new valve body they are installing in both tym and bransons? Mine has the new valve body.....it's TERRIBLE. I can't finesse control my 3 point at all. My dealer said engineers at TYM are aware of the complaints, and will NOT be addressing the issue. Just thought you might like to know that not all TYM owners are happy about it. Pisses me off in fact.....
No one ever mentions the lift height of these machines. That is another area where the TYM beats others. If you need to reach a 3rd level shelf in your building, this really matters.
I'm not sure what the cost of the backhoe is, but my dealer has the 2024 2515H with loader for 22,5k and a 2023 2515H with loader for 21,5k. SR1 equipment Maine/NH
JD tractors are a joke spec wise. their stance on locking ability for people to repair and maintain their tractors as well as shipping manufacturing to mexico are 2 other strikes against the green and yellow.
I am shopping for a tractor right now and this is super helpful, I keep coming back to the 2515h. Can you get a backhoe later or does it need any additional things at the start if you want to do it later?
It might not be as convenient, but I’m certain you can add it later. It can be run off of the rear remotes if you get those on the tractor or it can have a power beyond set up. I think you just have to bolt on the subframe, which isn’t a big deal if you already have the rear remotes.
If you got a dealer close by it would be ok, but in my case there wasn't a TYM dealer anywhere close when I bought my tractor. New Holland, John Deere, and Kubota are the most common dealers in my area....shortly after I bought my tractor, a Massey dealer opened up in the area as well....a TYM dealer recently as well now. So they are expanding but the TYM dealer isn't just TYM...it seems like many of the TYM dealers are multi-brand dealers, which there's nothing wrong with that idea, it kind of makes it an easier way to compare brands when one dealer has several brands on the lot....but I wonder how well the sales team is as far as knowledge on all the stuff they have, VS a dealer that maybe only has 1 brand, or a couple.
Im sorry but cut the shit bud, YANMAR blows the fckng doors off everything from everyone....best built, best quality, best capability and capacity AND PRICED REALISTICALLY you guys did a good job and im not cutting either machine up as my old 1050 4wd 75 loader and big model 8 quick attach backhoe is a fckn animal except very heavy for a 40 plus hp tractor. But as of today the best tractor there is with zero fan boy bllsht YANMAR is the best
Can you give me one thing you are basing that on? I’ve done reviews of Yanmar. I think they are a top brand. As a matter fact, I specifically ranked my top five brands in a different video and I put them in the top 5 However they definitively don’t have a machine that competes with the 2515. They don’t have anything in that price range with near the capabilities. They don’t have anything in the horsepower range that competes with these capabilities Actually, overall they are one of the most expensive tractors. They are also really lacking in the dealer network and they don’t show a real commitment to the US market long-term
@RockhillfarmYT huh where abouts are you located man, sounds like your dealers are amping up the prices, just like deere and Kubota. I know how I may have come off sounding, but I grew up on a farm with internationals, Allis Chalmers with deeres aswell as case rolling around so I'm not biased at all. Hell my own personal dream pick is what I have today amd she's an 88' 1050 as I said earlier, built to spec by yanmar for john deeres north American market. She came through with bigger bore, much better cooling, 2 stage clutch aswell as massively beefed up clutch, turbo and everything is simply way overbuilt yet simple I can legitimately replace the fckn sleeves out in the woods god forbid lol However you go look at the current yanmar north American market tractors of 2024. They speak for themselves nvmd my opinion, their raw power will leave you speechless, with the incredible hydraulic control and smoothness of a dam Kubota. Their axles, frames are the best steel and massive. They normally outweigh competitor's. And they're still built where you or I can easily service AND REPAIR if needed. Even diehard Kubota fan boys admit yanmar diesels are the diesel (tied of corse for bota boys lol) Which leaves 1 single weak link, they have the most advanced tractors in their lineup. For you to understand just good yanmars most advanced tractor, it'll leave your jaw on the floor, right their with your empty wallet. So I agree they absolutely do sell some very expensive tractors, but their bread an butter are the simple manual tranny tractors obviously with shuttle shift we all clamor for which are maybe 1500 bucks more than the cheapest of the cheap tractors. That's fckng insane for us to finally have yanmar back fullbore for us with a growing model lineup, properly priced. Built to the best modern standards incorporating the best of yesterday mixed with cutting edge manufacturing so the finally product can be simpler for you and I Again the Achilles heel is that it possible your local dealer is a thief and sells say their 25hp tractor for 30k when my local dealer sells the same dam thing for 23k....but that's all the brands, I fully believe you know full well the tractor is only half the equation when buying new, the dealer is the other half....they have to be honest upfront and there for YOU when needed in a realistic manner aswell as any other support you may ever need, after all that's the ONLY reason they exist, you're doing them a favor by choosing to purchase through them so they can take a slice outta that massive lump of cash you handed over
@RockhillfarmYT I forgot also man in the most respectful way possible you're wrong about yanmars commitment and dealers, they only re-entered a couple years ago lol Yanmars the best thing that can happen for you and I as they're the only maker who can actually beat deere and botas top machines, yet big enough to sell cheaper models cheaper. They're just getting going, again, and they will be fighting it out with all the others forcing a price war yet driving up quality. I love Kioti tractors, I've seen many bllsht problems with LS, Mahindra but Branson, tym and other budget brands don't have any foot print where I am so I honestly can't say one way or another as long term is no joke that's the real deal breaker. We know our deere, botas, new Holland, case, and yanmars will last 30 years no problem, but will the cheaper ones? That's not sarcasm or a doosh bag I'm actually serious, I am happy we can get them big girls reasonably priced but God dam if 5 years after real use, logging, digging and grading roads and driveways she's worn out an needs an engine rebuild with the hydraulics shot well then we're fucked

So I agree they absolutely do sell some very expensive tractors, but their bread an butter are the simple manual tranny tractors obviously with shuttle shift we all clamor for which are maybe 1500 bucks more than the cheapest of the cheap tractors. That's fckng insane for us to finally have yanmar back fullbore for us with a growing model lineup, properly priced. Built to the best modern standards incorporating the best of yesterday mixed with cutting edge manufacturing so the finally product can be simpler for you and I
Again the Achilles heel is that it possible your local dealer is a thief and sells say their 25hp tractor for 30k when my local dealer sells the same dam thing for 23k....but that's all the brands, I fully believe you know full well the tractor is only half the equation when buying new, the dealer is the other half....they have to be honest upfront and there for YOU when needed in a realistic manner aswell as any other support you may ever need, after all that's the ONLY reason they exist, you're doing them a favor by choosing to purchase through them so they can take a slice outta that massive lump of cash you handed over
@RockhillfarmYT I forgot also man in the most respectful way possible you're wrong about yanmars commitment and dealers, they only re-entered a couple years ago lol
Yanmars the best thing that can happen for you and I as they're the only maker who can actually beat deere and botas top machines, yet big enough to sell cheaper models cheaper.
They're just getting going, again, and they will be fighting it out with all the others forcing a price war yet driving up quality.
I love Kioti tractors, I've seen many bllsht problems with LS, Mahindra but Branson, tym and other budget brands don't have any foot print where I am so I honestly can't say one way or another as long term is no joke that's the real deal breaker. We know our deere, botas, new Holland, case, and yanmars will last 30 years no problem, but will the cheaper ones? That's not sarcasm or a doosh bag I'm actually serious, I am happy we can get them big girls reasonably priced but God dam if 5 years after real use, logging, digging and grading roads and driveways she's worn out an needs an engine rebuild with the hydraulics shot well then we're fucked
