TYM Tractor Thread !

The 3940's pedal is a lot more manageable for a treadle pedal than the bx's!

 

Agreed !

 

My first hydraulic toplink..finally ! Gonna be a game changer I hope.
As seen on a few online videos and forums....on the T474..the top link has to be flipped upside to avoid hitting the fittings coming out of the rear remotes . Works ..looks and functions perfectly so far !
Also stole the Pat's quick hitches off off my BX and threw them on.
Glad to have those back.

NOTE......Pat's extends out about 4" farther than the original lower links....so I ordered a top link that was 4" longer fully extended to accommodate.
For the T474...this equated to a toplink of 20 7/8" closed....31 7/8" fully extended.

 

Breaking her in the right way ! Moving logs... brush hogging...dragging driveway...helping me split chunks ...pushing up a brush fire !

 

How's about a one year review of the TYM?

 

Gladly ! Sorry..I don't log in consistently ! Thanks for the interest in it !
Got a little over 175 hours on the TYM .
I love it ! Power to spare...good weight.
Strong loader...strong 3 point hitch lift.
It does things so easily..i wonder if it's hp numbers for engine and pto are a little light. Seems really strong !
Easy to use and maintain.
Loader hydraulics are very powerful..but on the slow side. 2 loader functions can be done at one time..but is slow. It's ok..ive got time lol.
The range selector was very stiff and finicky at first. It's gotten alot better...especially after the big 50 hour service..when I switched to Shell Rotella fluid.
I've hauled ALOT of topsoil...gravel...and heavy pond clay with ease.
Brushogged quite a few acres...again..with ease !
Haven't used the grapple as much ..due to it doing in one load..what my old Kubota BX took in 4 loads
I've put on about 25-50 less hours in a year..compared to my Kubota BX average per year.
This is due to the bigger capacity...plus I have gotten jobs done that I would normally have to borrow or rent a skid steer for.
I'm a happy camper for sure !
No repairs...just a 50 hr service so far.
I loved my Kubota..but in the first 200 hrs..i had 3 warranty claims. Nothing serious..just sloppy things from the factory. Not knocking Kubota..just comparing !
Any questions you guys have..let em rip. I'll answer anything I can! Thank you for being intetested !!
Also..the TYM branded grapple...tiller and brushhog seem of great quality so far.
Ill try and put some pics in the next post.
No Safety Sam comments please lol

 

You sure do get a lot done! Sounds and looks like it’s working great for you! Thanks for the review

 

Thanks HoneyFuzz !!!

 

Your welcome !

Also..i wanted to mention..i love how high the loader reaches.
And I haven't been able to find anything i can't lift as high as needed .....yet !
Also...and it has nothing to do with the tractor...but the R14 tires are a great all around tire. Big fan !
The Pat's quick hitch....well...ill never be without that again. Like it so much..i robbed it off the BX before I sold it !
The hydraulic top link...again..ill never be without that again.

Oh..and i forgot to mention. This model has mechanical auto throttle ..that doesn't turn off . Works good for some things..annoying for others.
A simple 1 minute cable disconnect at the fuel pump...and now I can run normally..instead of running higher rpm's...all the time. I actually saw quite an improvement in fuel usage after the disconnect. We'll worth it !
