Good morning TBN members! I'm getting close to needing a tractor for property development and house construction, and have come to the conclusion that an XR4145 is my preference. I have a dealer about 50 miles away that caries LS, and has a good reputation, and I'll be stopping by soon for a test drive. Alternately, I recently discovered that the TYM T454 is VERY comparable to the XR4145... The main difference that I can see is that it's red instead of blue, and 4cyl instead of 3. Rest of the tractor and features are very comparable, though the loader lifts ~13" higher. (1000lbs more breakout, 250lbs less lift to full height) Oh, and a much higher limit on hours for warranty, but I'm not likely to pile that many hours on anyway...
Any of you have any input on the TYM??
(Update: Getting quotes on both, but price is estimated to be a wash by the dealer that sells both. Service manager says Regen cycles on the TYM are similar to the 41xx series LS tractors, and that they (Legacy) see a LOT more LS tractors for warranty than TYM, though mostly ones with the previous Shibarua engines...)
