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...

Its been 23 day and no shipping updates so far.

With 6' between the rear wheel track, I would need at least 8'6" to cover it at 45°. I don't think I've seen one that big before. I have a hard time finding the 7" ones.

Title says it all. Do I go 6ft or 7ft? What are the features of a quality landscape rake? I want to use it to rake rocks to the edge of my orchard and get leaves and sticks into a pile to burn.

I want a Lambo grill and hood ornament for my T574.

The website said it was in stock when I ordered mine. I'm thinking that it was actually on a boat somewhere, if not still in China when I ordered. They don't seem to actually have a presence in the USA. They are drop shipping from China to a freight forwarders warehouse here. I guess this is...

I'm hopping on the bandwagon too! I ordered an SG24 on March 27th when they had it on sale for $1400. I'm hoping it ships soon. I have about 50 stumps to grind before I can put gravel on top of them.

Definitely a workhorse. My property has lots of hills and varying terrain. I don't care if it's fast, as long as the power steering and brakes work good and it can carry tools and materials up and down the slopes.

Cow tags, you can write on them and they come in various colors.

I could do this 999cc 35hp v-twin and it's still cheaper than a China Kubota rebuild. I would like to stick with diesel for the convenience of shared fuel with my other equipment and reliability, but the expense is unbelievable for what you get. I could get a 1000cc side by side motor for less...

I have check ebay for D902 engines. They are very expensive, even for a "rebuild-able" used option. I could put two much larger engines in my car for the same price as one D902. I believe Hayden is right about 25HP being the max because of emissions regulations. I don't know what the HST can...

Does your state have lemon laws for autos that also apply to tractors? Shot in the dark here, but it may be worth looking into.

Any TYM dealer should be able to sell you the kit. The dealer can install it, or you can do it yourself. It's basically just another valve to go in the stack, longer bolts to put your new bigger stack together, and the lever/linkage to the cab for the new valve. You could also cheat and use a...

Why do you *need 3 remotes? You can't use your top and tilt when the backhoe is connected. Just unplug one and plug the backhoe in.

I bought an RTV 900 minus the engine. It appears that I need a D902 to repower it. Are there any other options? Has anyone imported an engine from Alibaba? Seems this unit is small enough to be exempt from most EPA regulations. I'm sure any decent freight forwarder could get it here without...

I guess he was a misinformed salesman and lost your business. It's just a valve stack. You get the third remote kit and it goes in the stack. Pick weather it has a detente or not.

If you want more remotes, a much cheaper solution is a "hydraulic multiplier" from Summit Hydraulics. It basically multiplies the number of remotes but you can only use one at a time. For most applications it works very well.

To clarify on my T574, The "B" remote has a detente that allows you to push the lever all the way forward and it stays there keeping pressure on that remote. This allows me to run the backhoe. I have hooked a normal hydraulic cylinder up to it and it works just. I have no idea what your...

I have a T574 with a backhoe. One of my remotes has a detent that is used for the backhoe. It seems to work perfectly fine for hydraulic cylinders too.

I have pretty much always had a good relationship with my dealer. They seem like they will go the extra mile to keep me as a customer.

Unfortunately its about a year too late for me. It's a shame too. I like everything about that model a whole lot more. The control setup, the metal fenders, two speed PTO. and POWER SHUTTLE! That is a slick machine. I wonder how it will compare in price to a 574HC.

I know I'm a little late to the party, but I thought I would add my thoughts. I wanted the 5835R, but they don't offer it with a cab, so I ended up getting a 574HC. I have the BY85 backhoe. It is useful enough for me. I live on a gravel road with lots of steep hills. Getting equipment in...

My dealer gave me some much better pricing on the filters for the 50 hour service after politely asking for a discount. It's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease I suppose. RJM Equipment in Branson MO. So far they have been very easy to work with.

I was looking at filters for the 50 hour service on my new T574HC at the dealer and they are pretty steep in price. Do I need to use their filters to maintain my warranty? Can I cross reference and use any high quality filter?

It's just a 4 blade to 7 blade converter? That is all I need? I feel dumb. I also feel glad that I didn't pay $100 for one from TYM.

Has anyone made their own 7 blade trailer connector instead of buying the factory one that plugs into the factory wiring harness? What connector do you need to do this? here is an example of what I am talking about. TYM TRACTOR TRAILER SOCKET KIT

I can't get DIN adapters locally. Heck they are not very easy to find online. This is almost prompting me to swap my 3rd function connectors on the tractor to flat face. It is the easiest option at this point.

I bought a grapple at an auction. Seems to be foreign import. It came with flat face couplers. I want to put Pioneer couplers on it. What in the world is this and what is the most simple solution to switch to Pioneer? The out of focus 90 fitting has the an adapter in it that adapts it to...

Just wanted to report back that I was able to order it through my dealer. Pics when it gets here

Does TYM make an OEM backhoe thumb kit like Kioti? If not, what are my aftermarket "universal" options. I have a welder. I can weld on my equipment. Heck I can line bore and plasma gouge. Welding isn't a problem. I just wanted the easiest fastest option. Does anyone sell aftermarket...

They don't use bigger cylinders because they would not fit with the engineering of the rest of the machine. larger diameter rods have larger cylinders and take a larger volume of fluid to actuate causing them to move slower at the same flow rate. They also put out more force because they have...

Thank You! That helps a lot. It looks like a very nice kit. For what the dealer is charging it better be! It has hard lines and quick disconnects at the valve there. Looks like there is a sleeve that goes into the power beyond port before installing the valve. That is the key to the true...

I'm negotiating with a dealer on buying a new T574 cab model. I have asked the sales person multiple times if the factory third function kit is a true third function or just a diverter. She answered me with "What do you mean true third function? I think it has some kind of valve.". I want a...

I think you will have fun with this little project and easily attain your goal + more with just the turbo and a little injection pump tuning. I live at 8400'. I understand exactly why you want the turbo. with a 3% penalty on HP for every 1000' above sea level, it really cuts into your usable power.

How many hours on the Branson? Do you think the valves will break in over time? Valves are not exactly cheap to replace the whole stack with something of higher quality. Longer levers can help some times. I really like joystick machinery much better than levers. That is one thing that drove...

As ptsg stated there will be different injectors and injector pump settings between the two motors. You can slap the turbo on and turn up the fueling on the injection pump a little. Make sure you know what you're doing or have someone with you who does. If you turn it up too high the engine...

I have a lot of experience working on turbo diesel motors. Usually the turbo will outlast the majority of other major parts. It's also one of the easiest parts to change if it ever does go. They are reliable and nothing to worry about. Assuming the turbo is an oiled bushing style turbo, it's...

Can you do a quick valve adjustment?

I didn't know about everythingattachments. I'm glad you posted that. It says right on their home page that they don't carry anything from china. I wonder if there is a site similar to alibaba for South Korea? I know you can filter alibaba search results by region, but the South Koreans seem...

OK, I bought a pallet of lithium ion batteries from an Alibaba seller recommended on the solar forum that I frequent. We negotiated a price for the quantity that I wanted and she wrote up a contract for the deal. A video of each cell being tested with my name on each of the cells was sent to me...

Heated seat! I operated a Volvo 10' bucket loader for a few years. It had a heated seat and backup camera as factory equipment.

4 miles? I would do it with a 10k trailer and no worries. I've towed some, um, things that other members would have strong openions about if I told you about them. There is some good sound advise in this thread. I think you can safely, legally and confidently do either machine with that truck.

What do you not like about the valve stack?

I think a subframe BH is a must. Many users here have commented that using a 3pt backhoe may void your warranty. I know there are a few companies like Woods that give you the option for a subframe and pto pump on their BH85 backhoe. They say ask for a quote instead of listing the price. That...

I think, at this point I'm set on the Kukje A2300. Simplicity wins out. As long as I have a turbo I believe I will be fine. If I can get a backhoe with it's own PTO driven power unit, I will go that rout. That kind of has me thinking about putting a diverter on the backhoe's power unit to...

That has always been my experience working at a mine, though I never ran any equipment with mechanical fuel injection vs computer controlled common rail injection up there. Fuel injection pumps can generally be adjusted to compensate, though just like efi on a car vs carboration, the efi will...

Ok, I've been shopping around. I'm looking for a tractor with loader and backhoe around 50-60hp. I'm building a house and starting a homestead on a 40 acre plot in the Colorado Mountains. The elevation is 8,400' above sea level. I plan on making a driveway, installing a septic system...

I'm in the process or purchasing land and found this wonderful forum when researching tractors. I hope to make a good buying decision and keep up with all the ins and outs of ownership with everyone else here.
