2005 TYM sales in USA

DavesTractor · Mar 6, 2006

Chuck,
I do not have the numbers, but not nearly 5000 were TYM in 2005. At one point, 70% of TYM's sold worldwide were Mahindra, but not now. They discontinued most of the TYM Mahindras over a year ago, as they Mitsubishi based models took over in the 20-30HP range (now 20-32HP). The Mitsu line doesn't have a comparable tractor to the 4110, so that model remains and likely will remain. It's a nice size machine and fills a gap nicely between the 3215 Mitsu and the 4530-7520 products.

Mahindra provided a basis for TYM to ramp up production, now most of TYM production goes elsewhere. TYM helped Mahindra and Mahindra helped TYM. It worked well for a time.

Mahindra still had the TYM-built tractors in their booth at the 2006 National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, as well as Montana-badged TYMs', and the actual TYM's.

FYI, According to TYM's own website, they only have the capacity to build 10,000 tractors a year.

kevanos,

The TYM based 10-series certainly hasn't been discontinued by Mahindra, the 4110 is still a great seller, but in the smaller sizes (under 35HP), it's all Mitsu now.

Mahindra has the capacity to produce 110,000 tractors in there biggest plant outside of Mumbai. That is for the larger models. I believe that is one of the single largest capacity tractor plants anywhere in the world. Of course that does not account for the Mitsu and TYM based units, nor does capacity mean actual production, but it is an interesting fact.

It appears Mahindra will sell 10,000 units in the USA in the fiscal year ending tomorrow 3-31-06. Last I checked they were within 100 units.
