Was mowing for about 15 min, had to stop to mower to move some limbs. I had turned it off. Went to turn the key, and starter does not engage. The digital display looks fine. I made sure brake was on, handles out, and blad turned off and still no turning over. I had driven though some wet...

How about if I added another layer of 3/4 plywood (or other sugesstions?) over the top, so would be 3 x 3/4". That would be some insurance?

Hey, has anyway tried or have thoughts on putting compact tractor in double 3/4" floor with 12" studs? I'm looking at buying one of these pre-built sheds and according to their specs 1500 per load point: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/owning-operating/post-thread. My TYM 474 is 3,330lbs +...

Interesting. You back in the tractor. is there a reason for that?

Question is more along the lines is it easy to get on or off or should I go for a bigger trailer?

I'm looking to get a dump trailer and want to make sure it will work well to move my trailer around if needed. Here is what I've currently got: - 2022 Chevy Silverado 1/2 ton - max tow is 9,900 pounds - 2022 TYM 474. I also have beet juice in rear tires, so that prob adds a few hundred pounds...

Hi - i have purchased the 60 inch Ztrack earlier this year. I'm looking to adjust it for faster while i mow. Is there an adjustment on the engine somewhere to do this? Also, when I push both handles all the way, the mower doesn't quite go straight (veers to the right a little bit). Assuming...

I did the following: oil change and new filter fuel drain and new filter spark plugs pulled and checked All looked good. When I attempt to start, I hear a click. I check the charge on the battery and is good. Any ideas on what to troubleshoot next? Sounds like starter/selenoid issue?

Hi all - just got new zero-turn, and have 2 hours on it. I got adventurous and I slid the back-end into my pond, where some of the engine got in water, but not completely. I pulled it out with tractor and drained oil right away. No water in it. Next I pulled spark plug and looked good and...

@leonz wouldn't it just be the tree auger bit? Not the actually PHD, correct? Something like this? HTF Tree Planting Auger Bits | McMillen

I'm looking to add a PHD to my attachments for my 47HP TYM. I'm looking for 12" capacity. Here are the options. 1. from Dealer for $1,250 2. from TSC, for $650. That is half the price! I'm looking to use it for planting a few hundred trees each year. Is the dealer on worth twice the price?

From my dealer as I'm thinking off quick hitch is good idea for Tiller, but then have to take it off in order to use Auger/PHD. The quick hitch he tells is a Category 1 for my tractor. Does this sound about right based on your experiences? Sounds like as @i7win7 mentioned a PHD stand could be...

@Carl_NH what is a BH?

I have a TYM T474 with tar river tiller, and looking at an auger. I heard that a quick hitch doesn't work with ease with both. Anyone have a different optinon?

I have a TYM T474 and looking to use post hole digger for 21" hole to plant large trees. For a tractor my size, is there too much for it or has anyone else tried large post hole digger? Attached is picture of any tree farmer doing similar like I'd be trying.

The challenge here for me to tighen these bolts is that the heads of the bolts are not exposed. instead they are inside the side gear box. So i'll have to take that whole side off.

Just got done year 1 with tractor and tiller. Lots of use and lots of maintenance needed. I noticed these bolts i'm pointing to are loose around. Seems like suppose to be that way? FYI I have Tar River 6' tiller. thank you

Looking at manual attached for my 6' Tar River tiller, it says gear oil in side and center gearbox. I went to hardware store and got these two bottles. Look like the right stuff? For Side Gearbox says SAE 140W. Will this Penzoil SAE 75W - 140 work? For Center Gearbox, it says SAE 80W - 90...

Looking at manual attached, it says side and center gearbox. I went to hardware store and got these two bottles. Look like the right stuff?

1st year of tractor along with tiller is in the books, and it was a big one. It was a pain for me to put it on, so i left it on most of season. It took a beating because of that, but also very handy to use often. Im missing a few parts I need to put back on and any other end of season you'd...

Yep, that fixed it! thank you

I've got a 2022 TYM 474 and had a good year with it so far. Been doing lots of loader work, and now I'm looking to use 3-point hitch to do some tilling. To my dismay, it doesn't raise up and down. I tried while sitting (and i can see the back level go up and down to), but not working from...

I'm dealing with clayish soil here in MN. I went ahead and seeded a large area (about an acre), my first time using tractor to do so. Here are my steps, let me know if think a good process. I have a 6' rototiler I ran over weedy former farmland (mostly dandelions) - last farmed in 2018...

I've been busy with PTO tiller attached. I had two safety chained hooked up and heard a clank during using and found one of my chain laying in the dirt -- the clip was bent. There must have been quite a bit of force to break that clip. Should I be concerned or just get a new clip and hook it...

Hey all - i wanted to thank everyone for very useful info. I was able to make the following adjustments, and now the dirt is damn near like potting soil. Much happier now. Still slips on occasion, but much better than before. adjusted the slip clutch 1/4 turn, tested, and repeat. Ended...

I did call them and mentioned to me it was adjusted already. But yes I agree that is what is what I should mess with. I got under the tiller and found the bolts by springs under to make adjustments.

forward tine tiller

New 48hp tractor and 6ft Tar River tiller. Others told me this tiller is a good unit, and I trust their opinion. My land hasn't been farmed in 3 years, so weeds have grown. I mowed the weeds down first. I then hookup up my tiller and gave it a try. Ground is clay, loam so not exactly peat...

I'm looking for an implement to do very final light soil grading AND after seed run over it to lightly cover the seed for a smooth finish. The Harrow Rake seems to get rave reviews, but will it be too aggressive for that final finishing after seed? Otherwise, seems like a chain fence style...

You are correct! I do have those "new style" stabilizers. When hooked up still sways. I suppose I should adjust them so tight? thank you!

This is what is listed in my manual, and did not come on my tractor:

I have new 2022 TYM 474, and dealer did not include check links 3PT hitch stabilizers. Is there a suitable aftermarket pair someone could recommend like this could fit or any other ideas? Below is picture so you can see mine are not there. thank you 737864

How about renting a land plane (they only have front mount at rental store) and using that? Then coming back after with chain-link drag?

Would the landscape box you talk about be the same as a box blade?

I'm new to my 47hp tractor, got about 15 hours on it this winter/spring. Working well. There is an acre or so of my land this Spring i'll need to seed. Right now it's getting leveling by bulldozer, and black dirt of being saved for me to put on top for grass. Working with my bucket, I just...

I'm very interested in having a pond to add fish (bass and sunfish) and really enjoy the water, even put a small dock on it. I've never had a pond before, and I'm second guessing going forward with the project on my 10 acre piece of land. Keep in mind the pond isn't needed to hold water for...

I saw that in the manaul when I was going through it. However, I couldn't locate the check links on my 3 point hitch. Am i missing something here based on my picture in OP?

About 10 hours in, and i've worked it hard with lots of dirt moving. Couple issues: 1) I went to pop the hood and check things out and the front guard bracket is slid back and unable to open hood (see pick). 2) the lower hitch points swing back and forth and could easily hit the tires. not...

Thank you all for suggestions. Moral of story is I need to get intimate with the user manual and inspect this machine every time i use it. I put it back on for now:

New tractor, with about 10 hours on it (not using the three point hitch). To my dismay when I walked up to it this morning, my 3-point hitch section must have rattled loose. Am I suppose to be checking and tightening this or some other issue?

This pin fell off my new T474. Anyone have an idea what it's from? FYI I've done a lot of loader work since I bought it (10 hours on tractor). thank you

Industrial tires

They are the Industrial tires (the middle of the extremes...not Turf and not Ag tires).

I recently just purchased a new 48hp HST TYM. About to have it delivered to get started. They did a nice job of getting me talked into beet juice in back tires as it helps with loader work, and i'll be doing a lot of that. Also, I'll be doing a lot of field work (planting, cultivating) AND...

I'm looking at this cultivator which is also under private label Countryline from TSC. Has anyone used? I'm looking to pull behind my 48HP compact tractor. I'd be straddling two rows, so will need to adjust tiles. Looks like it's about 50in wide?

I'm looking at buying this planter for sweet corn. I'd also like to use this as cultivator after corn starts to come up. There are only two shanks provided (for the 2 row planter), but for cultivating it would make most sense to have 4 total (1 on each side of the 2 rows). Does anyone have ideas...

Besides a bucket, my first implement I’m looking at is the Tar River YCT-074 72” tiller https://tarrivermfg.com/tar-river-implements/tar-river-medium-duty-rotary-tiller. With tax it’s about $3k, so not cheap. Anyone have experience with this tiller? Dependable? The purpose is preparing a few...

I'd have a 24/7 small aeration powered by solar and battery.

As for aeration, my thoughts is I would use something like this but with a battery (and larger panel to charge battery), that way would run 24/7 to prevent ice formation and other oxygen issues. Amazon.com: Solariver Solar Pond Aerator, DC Brushless Air Pump, 10 Watt Solar Panel, 5 Air Stones...

Here in MN I'm looking to dig a small pond (like 30' x 40'), up to 10' deep. I've watch a bunch of videos and read on how to do this. Anyone had experience with this and luck with fish (bass and sunfish)? Here is pic of current land (tough to see with snow, but is already a little low...

I see you added those chains on for winter. easy to do? Hard to tell, but do you have the Industrial or Ag tires under those chains? Also, do you suggest getting ad-on implements from the dealer or did you find them elsewhere. I'm looking to add mower, planter/cultivator, and snow blower.

I'm buying a new tractor and it's between the TYM T474 ($35k new) and John Deere 4044 ($52k new). They are similar in specs, but about $17k price difference. Obviously JD has better brand, more dealers, and sounds like when I talk to folks, a better tractor. I'm trying to warrant spending...

I found this Covington TP-46 which seems like it can plant, and then i can take off the planter and opening plow and cultivate around my plants. I'm looking use for both planting and cultivate my sweet corn and various other vegetables on my 6 acre of garden with my compact tractor (31"...

@Scut 4 Big Bucks For cultivating, the distance between rear wheels is 31", which I'm thinking would work well using a one-row cultivator as I can straddle the corn. Based on my drawing is this a good plan? Possible I could just up to even larger implements such a 3 or 4 row planter, and 2 row...

I'm planning out planting for Spring and what I can use to for planter and cultivator. Attached is my tractors wheel spacing (which is not adjustable). The distance between rear wheels is 31", which I'm thinking would work well using a one-row cultivator as I can straddle the corn. Based on...

This compact tractor specs T474: Overall Width, in. (mm): 54.5 (1385) Wheelbase, in. (mm): 69.7 (1770) I want to use a two-row planter, and spacing by row should be 24" or 30" for sweet corn. Is this tractor too narrow for this? I'm thinking so but wanted to ask others who have experience in...

i'll be only working with 6 acres this next Spring/Summer. Location is MN.

I like the idea of rototiller, but isnt the speed very, very slow?

I'm dealing with new piece of land, and hoping to farm a few acres of it. It's been two years since was corn/soybeans, so has left to weeds. Just mowed them down now (see pic). My new tractor is 47hp TYM HST, and i'm thinking of adding a chisel plow of some sort to prepare the land for...
