Tym vs Massey Ferguson

[Skeletor]

Well I got the specs on the 2800e and m and to my surprise the e actually lifts more than the m. I suppose I’ll get used to the stupid treddle peddle and loader control up on the loader but I think I’d rather the extra lifting power. There’s a 5k difference in price between the two aswell.

I kinda want the hoe but jumping up to the bigger frame adds to cost so I might have to leave the backhoe behind.

I prefer the side by side peddle, but really the treadle pedals aren’t bad. You do get used to them and they become second nature.

Same for the loader. In some ways, the loader mounted on the loader frame is a cleaner design. The good thing about the Massey loader mounts is that it is very moveable for where you want to locate it, and pretty beefy.

Not 100% sure with the smaller loaders, but the bigger MF loaders are usually made by Quicke, who makes an excellent loader. Mine is extremely solid.

The smaller ones are too, and for the most part they're exceptional. There seems to have been an issue with the loaders on the 18M, but I suspect that's been fixed. I mean, they've changed to a different design where it mounts to the tractor. I've seen two threads about failures here over the years, so it seems it's not a common problem, but one that did exist.

It was, if I recall, the use of square tubing versus round, combined with potentially bad welding. It caused me to make a visit to my local dealer to look at them, but all the machines there seemed to be in good shape.

All that’s left is so I get the backhoe or not? I keep going back and fourth. My wife and I hope to acquire some property in the future so it would definitely help down the road should that happen. It would be nice to have it all paid off at that time aswell. Right now it would basically be a mechanical hand for me doing firewood and the occasional digging project.

Don't forget, TYM offers only mechanical diesel engine in a new tractor, in the US. No computers, easy to defeat emissions crap. Proven Cummins diesel engines with Bosch mechanical pumps.

Very good point!

I thought Zetor was the only one that did this?

The small Zetor are made by TYM.

Does anyone know how to defeat the dpf filter if someone wanted to do such a terrible thing……
