Buying Advice TYM 264 or Yanmar 424

[LS Tractor Owner]

As you may be able to tell I am a very indecisive person. Did not check out the Bransons yet .I was going to look at the TYM today but they are sold out. Any thoughts on the Workmaster 25 Can't find much info on pricing online.

Which Workmaster 25 are you asking about? The 25-S is a sub compact , smaller than the 424. The regular Workmaster 25 is larger and heavier than the 424. Another thing to point out the the entire NH Workmaster series is made by LS tractor, rebadged with a slightly darker blue paint and NH stickers. The loaders are made by a different manufacturer for NH, so they are the major difference.

If you research LS tractors, their pricing is usually easier to find, and usually substantially less than NH.

I am asking about the bigger one. I think it is the same as the LS MT 225. They seem like they are bigger than the TYM 264 which is why I am considering one. The 264 has everything a tractor should that the other subcompacts don't such as the SSQA, individual brakes you can actually use due to no clutch pedal, and the diff lock.I was set on a 424 until I saw the 264.If money were no object I would get a Workmaster 35 or something like it. I have liked blue tractors since I was a little kid but that red TYM has my attention. I don't have any LS dealers close by ,but maybe I will expand my search.

Worth it to just take a look. You might be surprised. I was also researching TYM when I was shopping. Unfortunately the closest dealer could not come close to the LS price.

Not sure where you are located. Pricing can vary widely according to region. You could add a general location in your profile, it might help others point you in the right direction.

I grew up / lived in Bucks County, just outside Philadelphia. Moved out here in ‘95, so cannot help with dealers in your area now.....

That"s cool .You are a long way from home now. We are camping this week and I found a NH & Kioti dealer about 1/2 hour from our site . I can take a little break from fishing for tractor shopping, especially blue ones.

I really like the Kioti CK2610. I was really hammering the dealer to try and get closer to the LS price, but he was still $2500 more than LS.
I am extremely happy with my LS XG3025 (same as the MT225E) and LS in general. This is my second LS, I was just as happy with my first one.
Good luck with your search. Sit on them, drive them, get the features you want / need.

They didn't have the Workmaster 25 or the 2610 in stock. Got some pricing and checked out a Workmaster 35 and really liked it but I don't think I can afford that one. I will probably go look at the TYM 264 again when they get some more in stock.

There is an LS dealer up by Bloomsburg PA. To find them on the dealer located type in the zip code for Bloomsburg on the LS dealer search.

I think I know where that is .I didn't call them or make it up that way yet.That is a little farther than I would like to be from a dealer but I would definitely consider it.
