This was a really fun video. Your videos have been great fun to watch. Have you made and if so, would you re-post a video on how to actually drive a tractor? When do you use high medium and low range and when do you use the various gears. I can drive a standard transmission and I ride a motorcycle, so gears are not strange to me. But I would like to see a video about what range you would be in and what gear you would be in, if you’re flail mowing for instance, or using the box blade to redo a driveway. Just a thought please keep up the good work, my wife and I love watching your videos.
I'm about to do the same thing as you...one of my friends is a mechanic at a TYM dealer and he introduced me to the owner. I'm a fan of kubotas, massey fergusons, and LS's, so we talked tractors. He told me to come down to the dealer and he'd prove TYMs are the best, so I'm gonna go see if hes right. Hopefully they're as good as everyone says.
did you like the 494/574 the best ? solid flat platform and that COOCHKIE (KUKJE mech. fuel inj w one computer)and heavy, dual rear remotes hard lines all the way to bucket for 3rd function? my 494 is at 62 hours without a regen yet. can i keep working while regen??? did you see the new 494/574 with red rims? i thought the branson models would be the only ones with red rims, that would have been smart. the bransons are very similar but with less features quick adj check chains and slide out 3pt arms dual remotes ,arm rests the loader control on fender is a big deal to me
i have a t494 open station and they do not come with a 12v but it was simple to add one as there are wires already there. did you notice the straight loader stick though? mines the curvy one thats on your 574.
I know you're in Florida... But what TYM would you recommend for a steep NC property? I have a tiny Kubota B2601 and Dad's old 1980ish Yanmar now. I think I want 50-60 HP and do want a cab. Closest TYM dealer is like 4 hours from here though. I have two Kubota dealers in under 30 minutes.
I really like these tractors as well as the other foreign tractors but I do not have faith in them as far as parts being available years on down the road. I own a Zetor tractor that runs but no one works on them and it's hard to get parts for. It was just like tym. Foreign, great price, and pretty reliable but now it's a dud. I'm sticking with the tractors that's been in the country for the longest years.
