Man they are just so many good tractors out there. I think that TYM is on par with the best of them. Every manufacturer has their things they excel at.
Clagg, the 3616 shuttle cab, the 3616 HST cab, the 7060 cab and the 8560 cab are all examples that are not TYM manufacturered. The 5010/6010/6110 and the new 100 HP are TYM based, but built with options and specs preferred by Mahindra.Its a TYM like all the cabbed tractors Mahindra offers except for the 8560. TYM dealer prices on that model are thousands lower.
From what I have gathered its exactly the same except for the loader. Just add Mahindra decals and markup and you have a mForce.
Dave,
Thanks for that great information. How about parts availability from Tym for Mahindra? Do Mahindra dealers go to Tym for parts or does Mahindra generally maintain adequate parts inventory to support their dealers?
TYM tractors were first sold by a independant distributor in the USA around 1998 or 1999. They purchased the tractors from TYM about like what Mahindra does. These tractors were labeled Mellinieum until 2001 area when it changed to Scorpion. That distributor did a poor job on a lot of things for all the brands they handeled and in 2006 they closed. TYM found another distributor right away to cover until they could get things going themselves of which they did in 2008. That is their current location in North Carolina. Starting a new brand name in a time of the poorest US economy since the 1930's hasnt made it easy. They have had a management change in recient years but are progressing well and growing. I work at a store that sells them. In the past year or two I have sold parts a couple times to Mahindra dealers when Mahindra was out and we had it in stock. Mahindra may be big but they also are not perfect. Some diferences on the tractors are engines and options. TYM uses Mitsubuishi and Perkins engines and on the Mahindra models are Daedong engines. TYM sells most their tractors deluxe rather than doing the option list. Other than that most of the rest of the tractor is about the same. I think you will be seeing more TYM dealers around the country as time goes on. With the new factory I am sure their production is more than it was a couple years ago. TYM making tractors Mahindra has helped both brands.
