Castration band and cauterize? This is how natural selection works.

When I'm running my chainsaw, I have chaps on and there is an IFAK on them with a tourniquet, Israeli bandage, clotting gauze, sucking chest wound patch, scissors, nitrile gloves, a sharpie, nasal nasopharyngeal airway, elastic bandage, and a cap for my water bottle and salt packet to to use my...

These are all very good points 👍 I had never really thought about power shuttle in the context of efficiency of power transmission. Power shuttle is not available on any models that I know of in the size/HP range the OP is looking at. I think the only two options are shuttle shift and...

The TYM 4820 and some of the other Branson incorporated models have metal fenders and a little more stout build. I think it has a two speed PTO as well. I have a T574 hydrostat with a cab. The loader lift rating is higher than any other that I know of in same size/weight class. Ballast is a...

This is a different solution all together... TYM makes tractors with A2300 motors. It is basically a licensed copy of a Cummins A2300 with mechanical fuel injection. It has a DPF filter, but no DEF. The ECU would not even know if you deleted the DPF. It just has a pressure sensor to tell you...

I have a TYM T574 with a cab. The radio is completely drown out by the engine at operating RPM. I think it's the most useless accessory ever. I use a set of ear protectors with Bluetooth built in. The nice thing about this setup is hearing protection + comfortable podcasts and music when I...

Great idea! I'm heading out to the shop to make one now! Maybe bolt the cage back on and make it a cart?

I just wanted to give an update. I did receive my SG24 on April 25th. Glad I got in on the $1400 sale. The shipping company was a PITA. They rescheduled my delivery twice. Not Mechmaxx's fault, but still a PITA. The packaging was very good. It's bolted to a steel pallet with a steel frame...

Doing the math, you are more like 200 hrs a year. If you get up to operating temp and stay there for 3 hours, condensation should not be a problem. Type of oil has no bearing on condensation. Compact tractors are like grandmas Oldsmobile, they are used so little that they will pretty much...

I had reduced flow to my backhoe. It could barely lift it's own dipper arm. The dealer told me to lower the 3pt arms all the way and unscrew the speed control knob all the way. This immediately fixed the problem. Why did this work?

I know that I am resurrecting an old thread, but I have some valuable information to add on the subject. 1. On my T574, the top set of remotes, labeled "B" is for the backhoe. The lever in the cab has a detente to activate continuous flow for the backhoe. 2. When using this remote, the 3...

I have a 55hp tractor with pretty good hydraulic flow for its HP range. My 3rd function is power beyond. Unless I am running a fairly high rpm (2500+), I still don't have enough flow to do 3 functions at once. Whatever function is most downstream on the hydraulic valve block will be slow or...

I just received a message to schedule delivery from the shipper. It was actually picked up from the warehouse two days ago. I didn't receive a notification when that happened. Nothing from Mechmaxx. Strange that it would be shipped without an email or anything.

It's the wholesale price from the factory. Also called the FOB (freight onboard). I've imported manufacturing machines from China. I have a pretty good grasp on how it works. For all we know the FOB is $300. Importers usually have a large margin in their retail pricing because shipping costs...

I will take that bet. The price hasn't increased 245%. It's $1500 today. Still $300 less than it was before the sale started. It's already paid for. They can't charge more. They don't get to hold onto credit card info. They use shop.com for their point of sales system. Shop is much like...
