Hi Chipperman -I'm rather new to the forum and tractors. Just got a T353 and put 45 hours on it already. Mostly dirtwork. Had a used 200 backhoe mounted but that ended up no good - will get a new 300 mounted next week.
This is one great tractor - lots of power. Like to ask you since I have not been able to get answers from my dealer or other forum members: Aside from glowplug lamp, oil pressure lamp an battery lamp nothing else comes on prior to starting. High and low beam are working once started but Check lamp, parking brake -,4 WD drive - and fuel level lamps don't work at all. Is that correct for the T353 or should all work? Would especially like the 4WD drive and parking brake lights to work. Thanks and good luck with the TYM venture. TYM seems to be a great brand with substantial experience. Would like to see more advertisement to really get a good foothold for TYM in the US market. Maybe TYM can openly mention which of their machines were sold under different labels for many years. From what I have seen or heard those units are doing well and likely being supported with parts by TYM if the selling brand failed. Maybe even mention which brands are still getting their tractors from TYM. A userfriendly website would be a great addition with Q&A, manual downloads, maintenance schedules, tips and tricks, user comments and press releases, news about TYM, plans etc., etc.
