I was set on branson 4020, local dealer small mom and pop use to be MF long time ago now selling more stihl weedeaters and chain saws than tractors. Start thinking maybe branson does not have a strong network. So I look at Mahindra appear to be more of those around, go drive a 4025. Like it, a little tough to shift with shifter in the middle and going from gear to gear is tough, nice big wheel cover for sitting on, tractor seems stout. 4010 had roomier floor area shifter not in the middle but L M H shifter did not work in parking lot it would go into N but not L. Some weird rattle in front end. Bottom line it didn't compare to the 4025 and priced the same. 18,900
Then I stop by a TYM they were not on my radar at all. Dealer use to sell JD.
He shows me the TYM T500 with the perkins canterpillar engine which he keys in on the selling point. It weighs a little less than the mahindra, appears a little smaller, great turning radius open floor plan, easy shifting (though not synchronised). Smooth tractor 18,500 4wd with loader and it's a 50hp engine with 40 at pto. Body casing not as stout but the engine panels are easy to get off, and frame seems real stout with loader going back to rear wheels.
