I get the impression that TYM is a player on this site much like Mahindra was a few years ago. I have always been impressed with the Mahindra line of tractors, especially the larger ones. I realize of course that TYM built the 7010 for Mahindra, and that is part of what has driven me to this forum.
I am thinking about a T903. I have read the other few posts on here about the tractor, and it seems to have been received well. But...is there anyone on here who actually owns one and has worked it? I would be real interested in your thoughts on the tractor. I will be doing a lot of loader work moving round bales, so information on ease of use would be appriciated.
Also, I am interested in the MF 5400 series which is a fine piece of machinery, but appears to be a lot more expensive. Anyone had experience with both? In comparing specs, the MF 5455 provides 5 more pto hp, but ups the engine to 105 over the T903 89.1. If I look at the next smaller MF it is a 5445, but provides 75 pto hp compared to the T903's 80.3.
I am also interested as to why TYM puts in the percentage of hp. Is there dyno that good, do they average out their tests, what's up with that?
Especially you dealers out their, is it true TYM is having special pricing on this unit until mid January? I read another post where the suggested retail price is $56,135. Is that correct? Again, whats up with the $135? Anyone who purchased or sold these give me an ideal of what one could be purchased for?
I have a grapple and would like to use it on this tractor. Is that type of remote loader control and plumbing available through TYM?
What about parts? Are they good about supplying, drop ship, and how are they on warranty claims? Do the dealers have to fight with TYM to get paid for warranty work and parts? In the past I have found some good dealers who actually were better than the manufacture, but in the end put the dealer out of business. What kind of track record does TYM have here in North America with their dealers?
What is the transmission like on this unit. It looks like it has a shuttle shift on the left side of the column. How smooth of an operation is it?
Finally, a suggestion...TYM needs to work on its web site. Add a product information pdf, etc. Really does not tell you much, provide any good pictures, or explain how the product works, its features, etc. Going to try to go look at one this week.
Thanks in advance.
