The Village plows all the snow to the middle on the main downtown streets. They have a huge hairy snowblower on the front of a front end loader which is used to put the snow into dump trucks. They take it to a few open lots around town and pile it there. One of Calumet's is right across from my...

Note to self: When the forecast is snow turning to rain, blow the snow before the rain starts. Got to move 5+ inches of slush this morning. Was impressed how the T254 and Berco blower handled it. No records for distance but got it well off the driveway and close to the snow dump. It didn't do so...

I was figuring I would need one of the local machine shops to make an new mount for it. The Besko has the ports facing left (as you sit facing the front). What I've looked at, the ports will face down in order for the float to be "normal".

Good to know about the fittings. There is a company selling same type of setup but made in Bulgaria with BSP fittings. I'll do some research as to sizes. Maybe take it over to one of the places nearby that make hydraulic hoses etc and see we can accurately determine the thread type and size...

I have a Besko 2-spool loader valve on my 2014 vintage T254. It is real loose again and the lift/curl positions are more oblique than straight (just up/down side to side) It has been that way since the day I bought it used. I have taken the cover off and tightened the bolts which help with the...

For me distance is key and the Berco has delivered for my set up. I can get the end of driveway stuff across the street and into the Village snow dump, even into 15mph winds. I do wish it were a bit taller, we got a dumping around the 13th of January and it was about 6" above the bucket, so i...

The worm drive can be a weak link. However, I have had blowers from Ariens, Honda and now Bercomac with the same type of drive from the impeller to the auger. I make sure the shafts on the augers are lubed so that the shear bolts can do their job. And they have on numerous occasions, especially...

I've got their 56" on the front of my TYMT254. Have had no complaints for the one season I have used it. It runs off the mid-pto on my tractor and there is a belt on the back of the blower housing that drives the impeller shaft from the pto shaft. I have hydraulic chute rotation and added an...

Was pleased with the job mine did on a number of stumps. Did learn the hard way to tighten up the chains on the 3pt arms a bit so it didn't swing quite so much. Neck got a bit sore looking over the shoulder. I have a subcompact also, (TYM T254) plenty of power but you get shaken a bit by not...

Sent a PM with the groomer pics

I'm better prepared for it this year. Have 2 cords of wood in the basement. 4 more to split and stack. I purchased a Berco snowblower for my TYM T254 which didn't arrive until last February. Was impressed with the amount of snow it could handle. Not much more distance than my Honda walk behind...

I just tightened the nut on the lifting lug to even it out as best I can. Was not able to get mine perfectly level but close enough for my lawn. Haven't had my machine shop correct the issue yet. Even new parts resulted in the same problem. One day I forgot to put the receiver hitch in the 3...

Let's see . . . power rake, trailer, new truck to haul it, probably could use a flail mower and a . . . and a . . . wonder if I can get the wife on board with this. You're right though, value added services like that are what makes customers want to utilized your services.

I purchased a Woodland Mills WG24 stump grinder to take care of stumps on the property. Put it on the back of my TYM T254 sub compact. (For those who noticed the ROPS down in the photo, it was put up before using the grinder. Just didn't bother stopping to put it up on the 20' trip from the...

Hi, Last year I purchased a used T254 with a loader and mower deck. The mower deck was a bit cockeyed from one side to the other. There were some bent parts that I replaced in hoping to fix this but ended up putting a spacer on the right lift pin and tightening the adjusting nut on that side...

Got the installation instructions from the dealer. The control valve is mounted to the ROPS and is fed from the diverter block underneath the footrest. Now the question is do I want to remove it every fall when I put the snowblower cab on. Or can I find a different place to mount this . . .

Here are the pictures I took of the back and under my tractor. I guess it could be that this one is like the 224 and cannot have rear remotes unless I do something from the power beyond port on the loader valve. I didn't want to take the seat off to get a better picture of where the hose comes...

Jeff, thanks. I watched that video as well as one for the T264. I looked under my seat and at the back of my tractor and it is very different than the T25 and T264 in those videos. Mine is an older T254 NH series (2014 model I believe). There is a sheet metal box that supports the seat. It is...

Has anyone installed a rear remote on their T254. I've seen videos for the T25 and T264 but I don't think they apply to the T254, I may be wrong. I'm wanting to add a hydraulic top-link for when I start working on the church parking lot and a trail that I maintain nearby. The dealer says there...

Only problem is I don't have rear hydraulics so my choices would be limited to the Baumalight or Woodland Mills. Price would be pretty good although the Woodland Mills is a bit cheaper (less expensive).

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a Woodland Mills WG24 that is very similar to the Baumalight. I have a TYM T254 sub compact. The WG24 does weigh a bit more than the Baumalight but it is a bit less money.

I am owned by a Husky/shepherd mix who insists on 3 walks a day. He has had a gps tracker for the last 7 years. A few weeks ago we crossed the 10,000 mile marker according to the tracker. I weighed 192 lbs when I got him. Hovering around 170 now. I also so some mountain biking in summer and fat...

I did my own (T254) with the Yanmar engine. Would be easy except for having to reach around the fuel lines and filter. Mine was right behind it. Some are screw in mine had the two bolts on either side of plug. Drain the coolant, mine had a nice valve to do that. Firmly tap on one side of the...

Walk behinds past 35 years. A 1024 Ariens and HS928 Honda. Still kept the Honda for back up just in case. A snow like last night usually takes a bit over 2 hours to do with a walk behind. I have parking at the shop and the driveway at the house to do. Not a huge area. However at the shop I have...

Got 6" last night so I got to put the T254, Bercomac blower and cab into action this morning. Neighbors were impressed that I took their end of driveway stuff and threw it across the road into the wind. With the cab, the snow didn't end up in my face. It's not heated but you do get a little heat...

Got my Bercomac blower and cab installed on my little TYM. Been a weird winter for us, not nearly as much snow only 150" so far this season. (355" last season). That has been a good thing for me. Delay in manufacturing and shipping, delay from a missing hydraulic motor that had to go to the...

Anyone remember 3% interest on your passbook savings account.

Great, so I can look forward to dealing with 317" of snow again. I hope my snow blower attachment gets here sooner than the predicted 11/27/22 date.

I'm one of those old dinosaurs that doesn't think it's a truck unless you have to shift it. Just been interesting to make sue my mind takes over the muscle memory. My tractor has a tendency to coast a foot or two when I take my foot off the HST pedals (I think i need to do some cleaning on the...

Has anyone else had issues going from their vehicles with manual transmissions to HST. I have found time when I'm on the tractor and need to stop or hold the tractor on a slight slop my muscle memory wants to push down the forward pedal and not the brake (which is where the clutch is on the...

Yes, Thanks so much.

I'm so close to having this thing done. Anyway, I have the center console cover off to adjust the HST pedals when I noticed that even though I have the lever in the 2wd position the drive shaft for the front spins when I move it. I have checked the lever and it is turning the shaft going into...

Fortunately on the T254 you do not have to remove the ROPS to get at anything down there. Just get the wheels off. With my closest dealer 2-1/2 hours away it looks like I will become very well acquainted in servicing my TYM. Thankful for sites like this where I can find info and the...

Sorry for the delay . . . trying to get all the parts to do this job as well as 500 hour service etc. Anyway today we tackled the beast. First off, could TYM make replacing the HST filter just a bit more difficult to replace on the T254, I wasn't quite challenged enough (heavy sarcasm). I'll...

Seals were ordered the other day from my not so local TYM dealer. I'll use OEM for this but plan to measure and make a note so next time I might find something local if necessary. I'll look into the idea about hooking something to the ROPS. I'm a bit concerned about balance and that the axle...

Thanks for the tip on the sealer. I will take pics and document what I did (right) as I go along. Will probably do on the other items I'm repairing as well so someone could learn from my mistakes / successes. I'm ordering parts now. It may be a pdf with photos instead of a video. The size of...

Hi, former lurker now "proud" owner of a used T254 with loader and belly mower. Got it at an online auction . . . note to self, when spending that much money go and inspect anything you buy. Anyway, it looks like I will get to know this machine intimately, and I feel in the end I'll have a...

Looking for advice. I volunteer to mow the local cross country ski trails to prepare them for winter. Fairly rough terrain, a few stumps that should be ground, ruts etc. Most cutting is light grasses, ferns and goldenrod, some sections of heavier marsh like grass, some tag alder usually no wider...

I'm very much a newbie when it comes to tractors. I volunteer to help maintain a ski / bike / hike trail system near Calumet, Michigan. Our club just purchased a used John Deere 970 (4x4) with an 80 Loader. We have a flail mower and box scraper on the way that should be here next week. There...
