The TYM T273 is to small (light weight) a tractor to run a 5' Brush Hog, and for the Mahindra I think you would be better pleased with the 2816 over the 2516. It isn't the horsepower as much as it is the size and weight of the tractor.

I liked the looks of the TYM T273 but will likely jump up a size larger. The T273 was bigger than the SCUTs from the big manufacturers but I need to get down to our Mahindra dealer to look at a 2816.
Those pics of the 2516 look good! | |

I did stop by a TYM dealer today after leaving Missoula, MT and the T273HST tractor he had looked really good. It came with a backhoe attached too. He was asking $18k for the tractor/loader/backhoe. | I have had the luxury of using both tractors. The 273 minus gross hp is more comparable to the 2015HST in size, weight and lift capacities. I think the 2015 actually lifts more since the bucket is almost a foot closer to the tractor. The 2615 HST is considerably larger and heavier sharing a frame size and weight of the 30hp models. If you have a chance, go drive both the Mahindra and TYM, the differences between the models both good and bad will be very evident.

Just went to the Mahindra dealer in Spokane and looked at a 2816, manual transmission with a Woods loader that had the skid steer attachment. It was a fantastic machine and sitting next to the 2416 it looked huge. The difference in pricing between the 2416hst compared to the 2816 manual was about $1000 plus a $400 upgrade for the Woods loader.
Once we get our house sold and close on our property I will be headed back to Cascade to pick up a 2816. It was a very nice machine! | |
