thoughts on TYM machines

I have a 353HST with 60 hours on it. I use it mostly for snow blowing and log skidding. You can't beat the weight for pushing and pulling. This is my first tractor but I am pleased with it.

Do you need tire chains during snow removal with the 353

thanks again for the post, I have decided against TYM. It's not that I don't like them just to hard to get any solid info on them. I owned a jinma and could find more out about it{more support}. I do like the TYM's and wish them luck, seem like nice tractors form what little I could find out.

I use them since I am on a hillside and have to deal with ice. I use 4 link v-bars. I am sure if you only had to deal with flat areas regular 4 links would give you all the traction you would want.

Using the blower on the flat shouldn't need chains but if you were using a front plow or even a rear blade you might get pushed around without them in deep or heavy snow.
