Stephen, it doesn't sound similar to the problem I had.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. To answer some questions, it would be the cab+loader since I hate taking the loader off. I would take the rear implements off before I transported it. No ballast in the tires. I did not get the tow package on the Tacoma.

I have a TYM 554 with cab and I need to haul it with a 3rd gen Toyota Tacoma. First of all, am I being reasonable with my tow vehicle? Second, what are your recommendations for a trailer that can safely haul this tractor with my truck? I'm in northeast texas (Greenville area). Thanks...

As I mentioned, some of my trails through the woods are narrow and my tractor gets scratched up. I have to constantly trim back the branches. There's also parts of the trails that are steep and could cause the tractor to tip over. If the Versa tipped over, that would be much less of an...

I have a TYM 554 tractor with a cab on it, but it's a bit tight on many of my woodland trails. It gets scratched up a lot and it's a bit sketchy on some trails with steep banks. I'm wanting something smaller for trail maintenance so I was thinking of buying an ATV-mounted rough cut mower like...

My tractor (TYM 554) won’t start and I’m suspecting a dead battery. Can I jump start it with my truck (Ram 1500)? I don’t want to cause any damage to either vehicle.

All of the pole barns I've seen on the net use wood posts, typically 6x6 or laminated 2x6 lumber. It would seem that metal posts would be just as strong, lighter to work with and cheaper to buy. What am I missing? Has anyone built a pole building with metal posts?

Another pic of the clutch and bolts that fit:

Newbie here. I have a TYM554C tractor and a Howse CRB72C brush hog, both with less than 12 hours on them. After running the brush hog for a few hours cutting pasture grass and some light wooded areas last weekend, the PTO shaft came off the gearbox of the mower, probably when I hit a ditch...

I own ~40 acres in northeast Texas. The property next to mine (another 40 acres) has delinquent taxes and should come up for sale soon. The property seems to be owned by a number of decedents of an original owner, making the title less than clear. I have never seen anyone there in the last...

I started my tractor and saw the following codes show up on the dash: SPN: 321536 FMI: 3 This flashed alternately with two warning symbols: I can't find anything in the user manual and my dealer is also stumped. Does anyone know what these mean?

I just wanted to let everyone know my tractor was delivered last week and thank everyone who helped me choose. I have a new TYM T554 HST with a cab. I also have a brush mower, box blade and EA grapple. I tried out the grapple but I couldn't seem to pick up that much. I used the brush hog a...

I ordered my tractor (TYM T554C) with a third function remote, and it came out nicely integrated. I like the new joystick and the controls, but it was shorter than the original joystick. It came from TYM like this: m I asked the dealer if he can raise the joystick up about 4-5" but he is not...

Can anyone identify these leaves? I have them growing everywhere on the forest floor. I'm located in NE Texas, if that helps narrow it down.

I'll be getting a grapple and a rotary cutter with my new tractor and would like some tips on how to use them together. The cutter can cut brush up to 1.5" in diameter. The problem is that my property has a lot of dead branches on the ground that are larger than that. Some of this in in tall...

I ordered a TYM T554 and the dealer said the hydraulic couplers are 3/8". Since this tractor has a pump flow of 9.5gpm, the size of the hydraulic lines should be 1/2" according to this: ISO 5675 Agricultural Hydraulic Quick Couplers Is my dealer wrong or does the T554 come with 3/8" lines?

I ordered a TYM T554, which arrived at the dealer this week. Previously, I ordered an EA grapple and had it sent to the dealer. When they went to hook up the grapple, they found that EA uses 1/2" couplers and the tractor has 3/8" couplers. The dealer ordered a coupler adapter to resolve...

Maybe this is a newbie question, but aren't box blades just chunks of metal? My dealer is offering a 6' VTEKS box blade for dealer cost ($600) when purchasing a tractor from him. Should I do it or look for a higher quality box blade? What does it even mean to get a higher quality box blade?

I haven't bought my tractor (TYM T554) yet, but part of the package my dealer is offering me includes a 6' Howse 601S mower. According to the Howse website, this is an "economy" brush cutter. I'm looking to clear a good part of 40+ wooded acres of saplings and brush, plus mow about 5 acres...

So what is everyone paying these days for a new 40-50hp CAB tractor + loader? I have an order for a TYM T554 HST w/Cab ($30K) and was curious to know what others are paying for something in the same ballpark. Unfortunately, unless you call the dealer directly, it's hard find prices online...

I'm getting close to buying my first tractor to manage my property, which is around 40 acres, mostly woods. I'll be using a grapple and rotary cutter to make trails through the woods. I'll also be mowing the few acres of pastures I have. I'm starting to worry a bit about wasps and bees. I...

I'm buying a new tractor (TYM T354HST) and the dealer will add a third function remote for me to power a grapple. I assume the hydraulics part is fairly standard, but the loader joystick that's replaced seems to vary in quality and ergonomics. Do any of you have any recommendations on what to...

I'm looking to buy a tractor to clear my land (40 wooded acres) and don't want to spend over $20K. I would like something that can handle a root grapple. This NH Boomer 40 has popped up as a potential candidate: New Holland Agriculture 2013 Boomer Compact 40 I know virtually nothing about New...

I checked out the L3240HST and it was in rougher shape than I thought, although it may mostly be cosmetic. The cockpit plastic is faded and the orange paint is faded and peeled off in some places. Other used tractors I've seen weren't that faded. The tractor ran fine and I was able to pick...

Hello, everyone. I've been lurking on this forum for a few weeks and need to get some advice from all of you experts. Sorry for the length of this post, but I know you guys need as much information as possible to help me make an informed decision. I'm a complete rookie and have only driven...

Hello from northeast Texas. I have a 40 acre (80% wooded) weekend getaway property and am now looking for a tractor to manage it. I've been lurking for a few weeks and now have a lot of questions for you guys! Going to the buying advice forums now... -AllenArmory
