This is not another TYM 2515 plow video. OK, it is, but I go in-depth on a lot of hot-button subjects. Can you pull a two-bottom breaking plow with a hydrostatic transmission? Are hydrostatic transmissions durable? I cover a few other subjects too. We also harvest corn and use our TYM T474 & Baumalight FMP260 Flail mower to mulch the corn stalks.

I recommended the 2515 today to a guy I work with. I've been impressed by this tractor since the first demo I watched on it. It was definitely undersized for what you were doing with it but it kept going. Impressive. I bought the 494 HST and I love it. It does a great job every time. Thanks Tony. Gizmo is fun to watch too.

@bikesbullets9080 Год назад

We recently bought 7.37 raw acres. I have been looking hard at this tractor. I almost bought a JD 2032R. Glad the deal fell through. My wife is tired of me whining about being on the fence. She told me to pull the trigger on the TYM. Thank you, Tony for these 'test' videos. Looks like I'm gonna be getting a 2515H w/backhoe. Just need to find the right grapple for it.

This was nothing for this transmission. They use the same transmission with a 40hp engine. It was in low and the diff lock was always used. Later in the video I added a bucket of dirt. I think it is punching outside of it weight class with this plow under these soil types.

Why do you think all of the larger construction equipment manufactures go with Hydrostatic over gear?

@donaldstrishock3923 8 месяцев назад

@@TonysTractorAdventure Yes, construction equipment has many "degree' s " of Hydrostatic Transmissions. But this "small tractor design" is VERY SIMPLISTIC. IT does NOT use "Compounding Planetary Feed-back Modulating Gear-sets";= Very Complex. This small tractor ( under 75HP) only uses a SINGLE VARIABLE Swash-plate with multiple gear ranges ; Thus the "Tremendous Howling& Straining ". The ( simple Swash-plate designs) are VERY handy for just "light-duty" pulling,lugging& pushing. FYI; Excavator' s use hydraulic gear-motors ( with planetary's)on the drive tracks& house-swing assembly's. That hydrostatic drive tractor did SO MUCH BETTER with the Flail-mower, ( kind of what it was made for). Your 474 ,being much Bigger; handled the "plowing chore" much better; even though it is Hydrostatic Drive. This was a VERY good demonstration of what a small 3000lb ( base-weight) hydrostatic 25hp could do. Best wishes with all your endeavours.

@pedrobatista4439 11 месяцев назад

A 2515 Shuttle and R1 tires would pull that plow just fine. I pulled my homemade 2 shank ripper 16" deep on hard clay with my Branson F36Rn (equivalent to the 3515R) and it did just fine. No way the HST would pull that at full depth, may not even half depth, specially for any sort of long time work.

@pedrobatista4439 10 месяцев назад

As a retired certified Cat&Cummins knuckle buster and farmer I don't disagree that the little hydrostatic tractor is trying to do the job. But you are asking it to do to much!!! Rule of thumb on 14&16 in. plows is 20hp per bottom. On the farm I had a two,three,four bottom plows plus a 7 or 8ft. chisel plow and always tried to use a tractor match! Also watched a video that a Kubota dealer aired about hydrostatic vs gear. Clearly stated hydrostat cannot do the same work pulling as a gear. My suggestion is unbolt one bottom and I believe you will be AMAZED a the difference!!!

@TonysTractorAdventure 10 месяцев назад

You know, less than one percent of TYM tractor's Hydrostatic transmissions have ever failed in the first 10 years. Ever! When wear items fail, thousands of hours in, they are easily repairable. I don't understand why people feel like hydrostatic transmissions are inferior. Almost every piece of construction equipment is hydrostatic. There are virtually no downsides other than a little HP loss compared to gear. They are 100 percent better for loader work. I am not beating you up personally, but there are a bunch of false ideas rolling around about Hydrostatic transmission.

I wish more modern compact tractors had a bevel gear crank for the side to side 3 point leveling. I really like having that on my 1981 Ford 1700 compact tractor. With gear drive that tractor would do better with the plow, but as you say a single bottom is more the right size. That’s what I have on mine. Easy pull in the sandy loam at my place, until I encounter a rock.

@earthbreaker 2 месяца назад

I bought a deere 3025d.. Meaning its gear drive.. actually if the 1025 or 2025 came with a gear option I probably would have bought 2 of each. But I bought gear for plowing purposes. I own a plow similar to what you are using and it has lifted the front end off the ground a few times. One thing I do plowing is fill the bucket full of dirt.. Makes a day and night difference pulling. Which allows me to put the plow as deep down as it will go.

@Lackieestatesfarm 11 месяцев назад

I think you’ve got that tractor plowing about as good as you can get it, those wide rear tires aren’t helping you when they try to climb out of the furrow. You seem to be getting fairly clean furrow walls so your coulter discs are set reasonably well. One adjustment I didn’t see mentioned that will improve how the plow pulls drastically is the cross shaft adjustment. If that’s a 16” bottom, measure from the right inside tire to the point of the front bottom. You may need to set the plow to travel a little one way or the other. By twisting that shaft you can make the plow “steer” to have it follow straighter. A plow that not following square behind you will pull you around a lot, and I think I saw you fighting that in places. My competition plow has a lever I can adjust on the fly from the seat to make small adjustments to keep things looking good for the judges. That 25hp is plowing out of its class and doing well considering in that clay I’d expect to see that size bottom behind a 40-50hp tractor around here

@TonysTractorAdventure 11 месяцев назад

This particular tractor has very little room for adjustment left to right. It's pretty much as good as it gets. That factor along with the large fat rear tires makes it hard to keep the rear tire in the furrow.

@stancarden7011 11 месяцев назад

Life is full of tradeoffs, I think you would do better with a shuttle shift when pulling a plow but there are some very nice implements that you really need hydrostat for, my favorite being a stump grinder. I guess a feller just needs two tractors, one shuttle shift and one hydrostat.

You would see a big difference by having the ag tires instead of the industrial tires. Watching the video there are many times that the tires are just on the surface instead of digging in. Grew up farming and the rule of thumb for a bottom plow was 10 HP per blade so 25 HP when set up for agricultural use instead of general use should make that tractor work well. Having the 2515R would also help because it lets you control the speed more and it is still a hydro transmission just gives the operator more control .

The loss of power from a hydro drive is fairly uniform regardless of hp. In lower hp tractors such as this it becomes very much more noteworthy. Many novice and homeowner prefer the hydro; but, as one can see it comes with a price. If this was gear drive and with weighted tires I venture to say plowing with it would be a much more pleasing experience. Given the power loss with any hydro powered 25 hp tractor I don't think one would want to even use a set of 12 inch two bottom plows. Plowing for say four hours on this unit would be a very frustrating and tiring job. I have a 1401d Yanmar little less than 14 hp that will drive my five foot Muritori tiller for hours on end. It is gear drive and works like crazy. Nice tractor you have; but, as with all the hydro is a trade off.

@rt3box6tx74 11 месяцев назад

A mouldboard plow set up on a weighted tractor it's matched correctly with and run at the right speed will leave the surface of the ground level with none of those deep furrows like you have. Leveling out the ground you plowed is going to be a nightmare unless you have a big heavy disc plow or some sort of float to drag it level and pack it down a bit. This is not what a properly mouldboarded field is supposed to look like. At the end you were throwing dirt almost as it should be. Six inches is deep enough tillage for a garden. Now you need a crumbler to pull behind that plow.

@TonysTractorAdventure 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for your input.

@rt3box6tx74 11 месяцев назад

@TonysTractorAdventure You came to the same conclusions toward the end of the video. That little tractor is more suited to lighter usage. I've never seen anyone try harder to make something work. I believe you could attain a similar goal with a small, heavily weighted chisel plow. The difference is it won't be turning the crop residue under. We hated the transition from mouldboard to chisel plowing, but in the end it was mostly about asthetics. We sure liked the fuel savings. Through the winter we ran 2 4-bottom mouldboards and 1 six-bottom. My father-in-law said old Oliver mouldboard bottoms were the easiest to pull, so we bought every old Oliver mouldboard plow we found at farm auctions for a decade. The main drawback we found with chiseling is that the sun's reflection off of heavy surface residue of corn stover will affect the spring ground warmup, causing slow or irregular emergence of some crops. In a garden that may not be a problem since the amount of residue won't be quite as heavy as in a corn field. It seems to me the small tractor manufacturers have made a mistake eliminating the draft control feature. It's handy. My little John Deere 5055E has it so I assumed they all did.

@kevinfletcher8208 Год назад

It seems like you have more traction problems than power problems. How about weighting the tires and see how it does.

@Brianaddeo87z28 8 месяцев назад

Seems to do pretty well on virgin ground for 25hp.

@TonysTractorAdventure 2 месяца назад

R1 tires are always the best for AG use. However, we go between blacktop, gravel, and dirt. I find the R1s to be a good compromise.

what is the best corn for eatin? are there special strains of corn? i just retired and got a t494 and am planning on planting corn and reefer. and peppers of coarse. just trying to find them special corn seeds. i also need a tiller. i like the rhino ag stuff. do you know what brands are comparable to the rhino stuff. i need to get this right the first time. thanks for the great vidjas mr tony

@johnwoody4905 Год назад

i think to pull it right you need a 50 hp with draft control you can turn it deep as needed. we had a 2 bottom 14 inch we used with a 65 massey they were 51 hp it did well and a 3 bottom 16 inch we pulled with a 2555 john deere 4 wheei drive it dyno at 70 hp it did well but a 85 hp would have been better. you have clay soil like us and it takes more power to turn that. the guy with the 8n must have been turning sand i have used one of them they do good to pull a 14 inch single bottom. both out tractor have draft control that makes a world of diff. happy 4th. take care, be safe and well.

@pedrobatista4439 Год назад

It just needed some proper R1 tires or better yet, R1 Radials like we run in Europe and a proper transmission and it would've pulled that plow perfectly fine.

Hello I'm Donnie and I love y'all show. I had a question about your sawmill and which would you pick. I have the opportunity to get either a 122 woodland mills 9 and half horse power or the 10 horse power os23? Thanks Donnie

@TonysTractorAdventure Год назад

I have never used the Woodland Mills sawmill; however, I think the 10 horsepower OS 23 is a very sweet rig.

@fullers1966 10 месяцев назад

I'm looking at a 2515r I think the transmission would fit me better as a little bit better pulling power

@TonysTractorAdventure 10 месяцев назад

It would gain you about 2hp. That can be the difference on many jobs, but shuttle shift is a pain if you are planning to do a lot of loader work. If you want hydrostat, but need more power the 3515 is the exact same tractor with 10 more HP.

Soil conditions play a huge role. My local Massey dealer will not support my idea on getting my Massey 1835M (hydro) a 2 bottom plow. Plus they are currently rebuilding a hydro transmission as well. Im still willing to get a 14 inch plow and give it whirl.

@stewartfamilyfarms1835m 10 месяцев назад

Correction, my soil here in northern Idaho consists of flood deposits from Glacial Lake Missoula. Once you break it apart, it's easy to work with.

@TonysTractorAdventure 10 месяцев назад

I agree with you about the soil conditions. However, There is plenty of statical data showing Hydrostatic Tractors are as reliable as manual. You can go to any tractor shop and find a manual transmission being worked on. They are almost all being worked on due to neglect.

@stewartfamilyfarms1835m 10 месяцев назад

My tractor is in the shop right now. Lost the pump for the AC. Sitting on the table next to mine was a hydrostatic pump out of a Massey Ferguson 1500 series. Holy cow are those things small. I've never seen one up front and close. Mechanic explained how they work, etc. Pretty cool stuff. For an added note, I use my 1835M to bale hay. I have an Ibex TX31 round baler. Hydrostatic + baling = win win for me. Manuals can't compete at all.

@musicgroopie1 10 месяцев назад

I was looking seriously at this model but all my friends and family are stringent advisors on me not huying a tractor less than 50 hp. So I'm back to being confused about my purchase. I will never need enough pto to bale hay. I have 38 acres but 10 acres is lake water and two acre are house and yard, so i basically have 26 acres to maintain. I want an offset flail mower to mow around the lake and pasture. I need enough hp to clean the muck out of my lake and I need good fel capacity to occasionally push 100 year old oak trees off my perimeter fence that surround my property on three sides. The rest of my work would be moving a round bale once a week, post hole auger, landscape rake, storm cleanup, cleaning out barn stalls, maintenance of gravel driveway. Some good advice would be appreciated. I'm leaning towards the TYM 3620 h because of its weight and ten more hp than the 2515.

@brentmcmullen3880 3 месяца назад

I know this post is an older one. I will share my 2 cents on this matter. We have around 200 acres and cut about half in hay. We have 4 tractors ranging from 200 hp to 33 hp. All of our larger tractors have cabs with AC. The tractor I use the most unless we are working hay is the 33 hp Kubota. I have been having the same conversation with my niece who wants a larger frame tractor but does not need it. I cant speak about a flail mower as I have never pulled one but we pull a 5 foot bush hog (a clipper in the south is a bush hog) with the 33 hp and a 50 hp you will be maxed out with 6 foot. A smaller tractor will do every thing the larger tractors do it will just take a little longer. I am never in a hurry when I am on a tractor because I enjoy being on the tractor. I would never get one of the larger tractors to move trees with the loader due to the cab reducing my visibility. Their is also one more thing to factor in and that is fuel consumption. The larger the tractor the more fuel it will burn in a days time. Hope this helps. If I am in need of another tractor in the future I am going to look into TYM. We have 3 Deere tractors and one Kubota at the moment.

@roycebraman4311 11 месяцев назад

Was wondering if having the coulters not set so deep would help?

@TonysTractorAdventure 11 месяцев назад

The coulters have to be to same level as the plow bottom; otherwise, the plow will have to tear out the soil at the tip. That has been my experience.

Not sure of horsepower but it looks like you have enough tractor. I pulled a 2-16 with my NHolland but I had 2 weights on each wheel(400lbs.) And 4 weights in front(65x4=260). The 9N was only 22hp but it often had fluid(which I would NEVER recommend). Keep it scoured and set straight.

@stephenbeecher7545 9 месяцев назад

Looks like you are running R4 industrial tires on both of your tractors. R1 ag treads will give you more traction for this kind of work. Curious why you chose the R4 tires?

@TonysTractorAdventure 9 месяцев назад

We don't just do this. We switch between hardball, gravel, dirt and yards. R-4s are a good compromise.

@crowefamily1 Год назад

I know I haven't got a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of but me personally would go to a single blade or just double till it " if that's possible" because buying a larger tractor at their prices wouldn't be worth it ( for me I mean).

do you hit that with a tiller next? i have a t494 (same as t574 w no turba) do you recommend a plow like this? 49hp 6700lbs with loader and rim guard. ps my t494 is way quieter than the hst on that branson. some of them there ku-boaters are real whinny. i guess they addressed that whine issue. are the branson models louder than the tym models? i am impressed with the kukje mech. fuel injection. smooth and quiet. is that a A2300 variant on that 2515? the 474 494 and 574 sound the best. the tyms with the yanmar engines are fine engines but they are loud and have tons of computers and sensors.

Add water with coolant or antifreeze (beet juice also) into them up to the top of the rim centre will give an immense increase in stability and traction.

@TonysTractorAdventure Год назад

Never add automotive antifreeze. If you spring a leak, your animals will get into it. A lot of dogs, cats, and livestock were killed by that very thing. Beet juice is good. The easiest thing is to call your local CO-OP. They usually have a truck to come fill your tires.
