I have a TYM 451 that I am using for all of the above. I've had it since August 2009. It's a 2008 hold-over I bought new so I got a pretty good deal on it. I really like it so far. It has the LT451 loader on it as well. I thought I was giving something up over the 2009 LT500 loader but the 451 is actually rated a thousand pounds higher (2800#) than the 500.
I have run a 6' tiller on it with no problems, and a JD 214W baler to do about 15 acres of alfalfa. It worked out great. I had some doubts about the PTO switch running that baler up but there was never a problem.
It had 2 hours on it when I got it and has 36 on it now. I realize that's not a long term test but the hours will keep counting come snow plow time. My wife actually convinced me to get the 2008 with the cab vs the 2009 without. She's a lot smarter than me.
The Kubota engine is awesome although it is somewhat loud. That, a small fuel tank (9 gallons) and no toolbox are my only complaints with the tractor. At 36 hours the engine oil is still clear on the dipstick. Very pleased TYM owner so far.

Farm123: My first post has been linked above about the 903. I have done a follow-up on the tractor now. You can see that in this forum as well. I have been using it to run my bailer, and do other hay related work.
GunPilot: Is that a kingcutter hay spear on the front of that tractor? Is it a bolt on or QA?
I am looking for a QA if you have any info on them.
