Good point. ITL is partially owned by Yanmar and I was told by upper management that there are 30 Yanmar employees at the plant for quality control. Yanmar engines as I understand will be in the 30hp to 50hp sizes. So, I'm confident in the machines quality and reliability.

But, the post I was responding to used cheap, cut cost, Chinese to infer cheapness about this particular machine. I think my post on components quality negates that.

Lots of stuff here and won't try to unpack it. It's throw a pizza on the wall and see what sticks. This is not a cheap foreign tractor. In fact, as a Summit it is an affordable high quality foreign manufactured tractor. In fact, it has more features than B series, I'd say as good as fit and...

OK, I've made some posts I know ruffled some feathers in regards to Summit. With that said, I do appreciate the measured well thought response. I respect this.

ITL/Solis/Sonalika build great tractors. The Summit branded one is nice too. For the most part I like it except 2 things. Mirrors on it will get torn off and a self leveling loader on a tractor this size is just added expense in my opinion. Full disclosure. I am a Territory Manager who sets up...

Did you get this resolved?

Jordan's is a top notch dealer. I've known Terry and Brian and family for 20 years. I was a friend prior to being their Kioti Territory Manager many years ago. In my opinion they are one of the best dealers of any brand you will ever work with. They love the business, love their customers and...

New Solis 24 hydro. Its sweet. They were at Moultrie. Mitsubishi, KYB hydro, Bosch electronics, skid steer compatible loader, remotes standard and fit and finish is great. Open deck space for larger folks. Anyone who knows the parts business will know Carswell and they are parts support as...

Hey all TBN folks. My friend Mark Cruz from Guam is now a member and will be posting here. I told him TBN folks are the best. Please, Mahindra owners specifically and TBN members in general give him a big welcome. His TBN handle is F1Racer. Welcome to TBN my friend.

I know we have Kioti owners with thousands of hours. I believe Kioti to be one of the very best tractors made and would like to hear how many hours you have on yours. This will also help people considering one realize that Kioti is built to last. Lets put Model, Year, primary use and hours if...

I believe Korean tractors to be some of the finest built. However, I believe there will be only a couple that survive in the USA market and below are my reasons why. Here is the order in which I feel they stack up for many reasons. 1. LS Tractors 2. Kioti/Daedong 3. Kukje/Branson 4. TYM/Tong...

Anyone got the wix or other filter number for a 2002 TC30. I need oil filter, fuel filter, air filter and hydraulic filter numbers. Also, do you have a part number for a generic ignition switch we can get? Thanks, Maka

Would you pm me? You are a great asset here and I need some help in a Kubota part. Thanks!

Have a safe weekend. Maka

I have a copy. Maka

Don't get me wrong there is so much good here and I love TBN but why on earth after so many years and people bringing it up is the reviews section so old and out dated? I know people over time have tried with no success. I just tried to do a review on a Rhino implement. This would be an honest...

Sad,we had to let Montana go Well All, After many years of hard work and dedication we decided to terminate our dealership with Montana. This was a decision that we would rather not have had to make but unfortunately we decided it was best for our business. We have built many relationships...

Hi All, I am just wondering as I love TBN (Thanks Muhammad!), have been here for yours and want to see how far reaching the TBN site is to people who have purchased their machine. How long did you research TBN prior to your purchase? Did you find TBN info to be a determining factor when you...

Anyone here have a generic agreement they have their customers sign? If you do would you be willing to email me a copy? PM me and I will send you my email. Thanks in advance. Maka

Hi All, Just sold a T233 to a guy up here. He would not look at anything else as he bought a TYM 580 over 4 years ago and now has over 6000hrs on it without a hiccup. He loves it and thus came here. His 580 is in Ca. but he inherited property here and needed a small one for snow removal...

I am ordering an Erskine front mount 72" snow blower to mount on a McCormick CT47 HST. Erskine already has the mount patterns and has already done them for the McCormick CT28, CT36 and CT47. So, I would like to see if anyone here has one and would you post pictures? I just have not seen one set...

http://www.bradco.com/_includes/fileblob.asp?I=721&table=product&ext=mpg&name=Magnum%20Mulcher%20on%20Kabelco.mpg This is a Bradco mulcher that will run on an excavator or skid steer. Looks very useful and versatile. Any other manufacturer do this or is Bradco the first? Maka

TYM is running some serioues programs on the T330 w loader and T330HST with loader. If you have been thinking about this size tractor you can now get as much as $7,000.00 off MSRP. You can get them at some tremendous prices but this won't last very long. If you have been considering a...

Hope you like, I do.

I really like this tractor and the pictures are pretty good at showing the true view of this tractor. Cat power and all the bells and whistles. The seat is very nice and they went higher end here.

OK, Here are some more pictures. This is of the new T353hst. This tractor is very nice and I just put a BX72 Rhino box scraper on it. There is lots to like about this machine. This tractor will replace the venerable T330 that has been rock solid over the years. What has changed? New design is...

Hi All, I know there are good ones out there but I want to be specific to these two brands. A poster in another thread said this "I've always considerd Bush Hog a little overrated and Rhino and little underappreciated, but, 6 in one and half a dozen in the other." So, if you had your choice...

Well, it is being worked on but there is new stuff there to peruse. They have the forum updated and if you have questions go there and I think there will be lots of support. There is a place for pictures of owners to post their use and I think they are onthe way to some nice things there. It...

Hi All, I have received two truck loads of the new machines with one more arriving tomorrow. These are nice machines and completely redesigned. The TYM-USA website pictures do not reflect how really nice these machines are. I have the new 353's in shuttle and HST, the new 433's, the new 503...

Hi Gang. I have a gentleman who bought a Chinese tractor called a Farm System. He said it was from 1994. He needs an oil filter for it and I have never heard of this tractor. I know it is Chinese, 2 cylinder and probably Yang Dong and is model J285T. Anyone know where a oil filter can be had...

HI All, I have a man who needs some parts for his Long 445. It has a D115 engine and the guy said it needs cam, lifter and gaskets. I have not seen the machine but this is what he said he needs. Thanks, Maka

Hey all, Please post your info here; What model Montana do you own? How many hours on your Montana? What do you use it for? Would you consider buying Montana again? Any other input? Thanks, Maka

Wow, the new programs on the 233 and 273 are incredible. If you have been looking at the TYM 23hp or 27hp you may want to pull the trigger now. For a T233 with loader at right about $11,000 or T273 with loader at about $12,000 you can't go wrong. Thanks, Maka

I think this is great and will do well for Montana. Here is the link. Professional Bull Riders, Inc. Sponsor I was watching the PBR a couple nights ago and saw the Montana logos behind the gates as the riders came out on the bulls. This is a good thing for Montana. Maka

Hi All, This may seem a bit different but I am looking for a log tong/grapple/log skidder that pulls behind on a hitch (not 3 point). I would want it hydraulic with an opening of up to 18". Does something like this exist to anyones knowledge? Thanks, Maka

Hey All, I was interested in how many hours you may now have on your Montana, what you use it for and what model you have. Maka

OK, I have been doing some thinking on this and would like to ask a question as I think the numbers are pretty good after some thought and close looking. Lets take a T330 and it specs says 2078lbs hitch lift capacity and 1199lbs at 24" behind the link ends. Now, looking at the Kubota L3400 and...

OK All, I am a bit ticked at the Kubota dealer here. Over the years he has put down, called names etc....... Well, now he is telling people Montana is just a component tractor and that his Kubota is completely manufactured under one roof by Kubota. So I ask this? Would you all post various...

Hi All, I have a customer that wants a front mount snow blower on his Montana 4940C. He wants it skid steer on the loader. No problem on getting the snow blower. The tractor does not have the pump capacity so I would like to mount a PTO pump and run the hydraulics off that. Now for the...

Hey All, We took in a Massey 1160 that needed a clutch job. 3000 hours and it was toast. We ordered the parts from Massey and it took a month to get them all. Customer is not mad at us but sure was surprised that it would take so long to get the parts. My friend is a Massey dealer and he said...

OK, we got about 14" of snow in the last 24 hours and I got to move lots of it with an ASV SR-70. The machine worked flawlessly. It was lots of powder, not wet and heavy but there was a nice slick sheet of ice below. There was no slippage that I felt and the ASV did a great job. Anyone here use...

Hi All, For those of you who have the experience I would like to discuss. As a dealer in very heavy timber country I have people skidding logs, cleaning slash etc.. The R4's are wider more stable, less wear on the tire it seems and less resistant to tire damage due to rocks and slash and less...
