Willing to address the question about the T700 being a discontinued model in the near future?
sorry i did not get back to the person who asked for info on my backhoe (wallenstein) it is a three point mount no subframe mount at the time was available for this size machine. if iwas a contractor using the backhoe all the time i would have been sceptical but for small farm use i have had no problems and it does a good job digging footers and all around use. i have been travelling their website is Welcome - Wallenstein and some one asked if the john deere engine was turbo charged and yes it is

I would be very weary of a 3pt hitch backhoe with no subframe. Too many instances of broken tractors. Is this backhoe available thru TYM or just one you added on your own?
I've heard for about 2 years that the T700 was being discontinued, but have never gotten a time frame from anyone in the know.

i again did a lot of home work before buying. first as i said you could not buy a sub frame mount for this tractor by any company. i had my dealer call about three point hitch mounts from the tym company and was told if i installed a tym autherized backhoe the warranty would be honored in the event something happened they were alot more than the one i bought so after examining the rear axle and three point mount and knowing this is a real heavy duty tractor for those that own one you know how ruged these are i have used this tractor with a road grader,back hoe and other implements for almost 2 years easy to change out by my self and never a problem. i to was real leary of the three point mount but after having used it i have no regrets. does any one out there know of a back hoe with sub frame mount that will fit this tractor??? i would like to know myself.

I asked my question on the long term status of the T700 on the TYM website about two weeks ago and finally got a response. Apparently the T700 will be updated in the second half of '09 with new sheetmetal and most likely a Cat engine. It sounds like it's will remain the 70 hp machine in TYM's family plan for some time.

See my post in tractor reviews.poor reliability!!!!!!!!!!!! TYM T700 sucks.
I don't see your review anywhere. I certainly would like to know more about the facts in your case before I would consider your post having any merit.

I just posted today,may not be up yet. I can show documentation from the dealer,broken gear box trans gears,electronics for 3point lift,trans gears and bearings,front axle gears and bearings, all between 420 and 488 hrs. It is broken again, and in the shop. Front end or trans locked up (front won't move in or out of 4 wheel drive.currently 488 hrs.also paint peeling off rear wheels,rear fenders chaulky,etc,etc,etc.
That sounds awful. Is TYM taking care of these issues under warranty? I don' think there are many T700 owners on this board, but the few there are I don't remember having this kind of luck with their machines.
