I just was able to try out both the TYM T451(46HP) and the T603 (59HP)cab tractors.I am a dealer, so you can take my opinions for what you think they're worth.(I also handle several other brands---so I am actually comparing just as a retail buyer would.) Hope I don't get slammed for solicitation.I just thought there might be some interest in my initial opinions?
1) Overall fit and finish is top quality and the compact cabs are layed out well and comfotable--seat is OK ,but should be cloth instead of vinyl. Controls are user friendly, and easy to operate. Both come with the joystick already mounted in the cab for loaders.
2) The engine on the 451 is a 4 cylinder Kubota that sounds great, but is louder than the 4 cylinder CAT engine in the 603.Both are very responsive and smooth running--the Catepillar being a whole lot quieter.
3) Handling on the road and on slopes is similar in both---the short wheelbase makes for a rougher ride off the road, but the turning radiuses are phenominal---really tight (short).
4)The loaders were not yet on these two, but I know they are top of the line. We have sold them for years on the Century and Zetor tractors. They are the Humpolec Traclift C series made in Czech Republic.
5) There are a lot of extras included on these tractors as standard equipment ,that cost extra on others---like three sets of hydraulic remote outlets, as well as already being set up with the loader valve and joystick control on the tractor, good radio and A/C, tilt steering wheel, and five year warranty. All they need to top them off is the 0% for 60 month financing like on the T233,T273, and T700.
Overall, I think these two tractors models are a great value for anyone looking for smaller cab tractors in this horsepower range. If I felt otherwise, I would send them back---dealers have options too /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
