TYM T474HC at the top of my list to buy

There isn't a PTO shaft on the front of most tractors in the US to run a flail mower. If you intend to run a hydraulic cutter on the front of any tractor, you need to check the specs to see if it can actually run the hydraulic implement you are considering.

There are front mounted tractor tractor pole saws, both circular and chain. Home

Not what I would be looking for as a front mounted flail mower, but I can think of things where this would be quite handy. Thanks!

There is for Toolcats: https://www.bobcat.com/na/en/attachments/flail-cutter

And this would work on a Toolcat: TMG Industrial 72” Hydraulic Skid Steer Flail Mower

This 7' brush hog is what I have on ours:

And a 6' finish mower for the yard:

Well, those flail mowers being front mounted are what I would like to have, but none of the tractors I have considered would have anywhere near the hydraulic flow rate needed to run them. (hydraulic flow rate: 18-23 GPM)

You can run a hydraulic power pack off the rear PTO, then run hoses to the front. That's what I did. Use it for my landshark and trencher. Would also be good for a front snow blower.

The TYM 474 is a great tractor. I got mine last year and here are a few pics I took of the work it can and will do. Cut out a large spot of a hillside for my new barn in the coming month. As you can see I have a boxblade on Herman right now. The backhoe is sitting in front of the old barn.

Here is my T474 with my Betstco 65'' ditch bank flail mower.

How is that mower. I have pretty much decided to get something along those lines instead of a rotary cutter. Looking into the options.

What kind of PTO protection does it have?

It uses a bolt for protection, I've replaced it twice in 50h in heavy 6 foot tall weeds.

For some closure of this thread, I placed a deposit on ordering this tractor yesterday (08/08/2023). Guy said it may be a couple of weeks before it comes in. I am getting the front 3rd function as well as the dual rear functions installed, so I am guessing maybe that is done at the factory and not at the dealer.

In my experience, those are dealer installed. The kits will ship with it, they will install it at the dealer.

Dealer, I just made a video on how to install dual rear remotes on a T474 since mine only came with one. I've got the original one still and believe it will fit to add one additional remote if you already have one, might have to go to HW store and find bolts that will fit on top of the hydraulic block where the power beyond and such go?
