The loaders, backhoes (all are subframe mounted) and all 3 pt. implements are made by Woods Equipment of Oregon IL and are branded Cabela's by Woods. The only exceptions are a cone spreader and sprayer that are made by a couple of other U.S. manufacturers.

The dealer you are ordering from probably is holding your order and pooling it on a stock order with other customers to save freight costs. They can pay expedited freight to get things to you the next day, but it comes at a cost... .

I had to replace the bed chains in a manure spreader and the dealer did this for me, saved me a ton of dough (something like $3-400 or so?) by waiting for about 3 weeks for a shipment from that mfg. vs. getting it right away.

The newest Cabelas TYM tractor that I saw yesterday was the LM 25. It had a Yanmar diesel in it. It did look like a really nice scut.

These are still TYM tractors, The LM25 is a TYM T254. You can buy this tractor much cheaper from a TYM dealer. Cabellas are trying to get about a 25% mark up from dealer cost. Typicall TYM dealer markup is anywhere from 8 to 15% depending on region.

Woods must be really trying to expand their business as Massey just announced that Woods will be making its Massey branded stuff.

The implement companies are all pairing off with the OEM's to bundle implements with tractor sales. Most people agree that its not going to be good for the industry as a whole. Its going to kill the small implement companies.

As indicated previously, I'm an advisor to Cabela's and only comment when I see something on this forum related to Cabela's Tractors that is not accurate. it is not accurate to say that Cabela's Tractors cost more than a TYM tractor. The ultimate selling price depends upon each individual dealer's final price to sell a given tractor, and Cabela's final deal with promotions. It is also important to point out that Cabela's implements are made by Woods Equipment in the USA, and the tires and wheels are made in the USA by Titan, when TYM implements and tires/wheels are Korean and China made respectively. Cabela's tractors have a better warranty than TYM Tractors (3 year full machine, 5 year powertrain with no deductible, parts and labor included for all five years - Cabela's added the additional warranty terms not offered on TYM Tractors). As for pricing, here is an example: Cabela's is now offering 35HP tractors with a Woods-made loader for $17,999, - AND they give the customer a $1000 Cabela's Voucher good for anything they sell. That is about as good a deal as there is for a 35Hp Tractor. Again, I only comment in response to things said about Cabela's Tractors that are not accurate.

I'm pretty sure that TYM also had 3yr bumper to bumper and 5 yr powertrain warranty. What additional terms are you referring to?

TYM warranty: Two years bumper to bumper, five years drivetrain., but year five of drivetrain is parts only, labor not included. 2000 hours maximum regardless of year. Source: TYM USA Website.

Cabela's Warranty: THREE years bumper to bumper, five years drivetrain. Parts and LABOR included for all five years. 3000 hours maximum.

Summary: Cabela's offers one full year more bumper to bumper (3 versus 2 for TYM), offers parts and labor for all five years versus TYM parts only in year five, and covers an additional 1000 hours (3000 versus 2000 for TYM).

Again, just trying to share facts about Cabela's when inaccuracies are posted.
