Cabela's and TYM Tractors

MODSSO · Feb 18, 2016

I just bought a LM55HST Cab w/108 loader for $29k. Cabelas is getting out of the tractor business to focus on their boat sales. So all their tractors are on inventory reduction pricing. Same tractor as the TYM T554 HST & Mahindra 2555 HST. I have little time on it but so far very pleased.

Anyone know where I can find a service manual?

Are you sure about that? There are any number of assurances in this thread that they are in for the long haul/committed to servicing what they sell/spending up large on establishing their tractor business/blah/blah.

Did you get it at the Garner store? I looked at the ones they had in the show room over the holidays. Salesman said they were cutting the prices trying to move the tier 3 ones out. I had rather have the tier 3. Real nice tractors.

According to the sales manager they are out, hence inventory reduction prices.

Bought it from the Garner store but went to Fort Mills, SC to pick it up. The LM55s sold very fast at the Garner store. They still have several LM45s & LM36s in stock at Garner.

Thanks. Hopefully some great deals for tractor bargain hunters. How would the warranty be honoured though? Would TYM cover it or Cabelas (who may be understandably not so motivated to deal with tractor issues in the future)?

This was a major concern for me, but they are still covering the warranty.

TYM dealers were told they would NOT get reimbursed for warr. on Cabelas tractors. Cabelas has to take care of that.

Actually what TYM dealers were told was that TYM dealers would not be paid by TYM for warranty work on Cabelas tractors. Cabelas has the responsibility for warranty service . . either in their own service centers or by other options . . . like TYM dealers or 3rd party providers.

I clearly don't understand why all these Cabelas threads each frame things as if Cabelas is on its last legs. It simply is a business decision to stop selling the tractors. We may even see them continue to sell woods attachments beyong existing inventory for all we know.
