New TYM 2515R review

[K5lwq]

Yeah, when the dealer told me this, I was thinking to myself, "I'm glad TYM told them to keep changing parts until it was fixed."

That's not typical.

Personally I would have rather they properly reproduce the issue and determine the problem. Changing parts unnecessary can sometimes lead to other issues. But to your point, they are doing something.

Tires filled with beat juice are more susceptible to rim slip at low air pressure. It acts as a lubricant between the tire and rim.

Could be slipping on rim , but I question that loud noise WG is hearing at same time. I’ve never had a wheel slip on a rim so really don’t know what kind of noise it makes. Anybody posting ever have one slip? Or know what kinda noise it makes?
I would sure think if the lead mechanic already had it apart and didn’t see anything wrong he’d test it on a hill before throwing parts at it.
How steep was that hill ? Slippery conditions? Best thing it’s still under warranty .

it was somewhat steep but traction was good.

Yeah, I'm a little disappointed the dealer/mechanic didn't try to recreate the problem before tearing into the tractor. That would have clearly ruled in or out the possibility of the tires slipping on the rims. There was no way for me to tell, as I was alone and nobody was around to assist me by watching or filming.

UPDATE: the tractor is coming home tomorrow. Here's what transpired over the last week or two. The dealer also sells LS tractors and someone from LS contacted them recently and said they've had a few instances of their tires spinning on the rims and they issued a bulletin on what to do to fix or alleviate it.

Guess what? TYM uses the exact same rims and tires on some models, including the 2515. The dealer took my wheels and tires and put them on another tractor, added some counterweight and lo and behold, the tires spun on the rim.

So after the dealer spent a lot of time and effort tearing into the tractor to throw parts at it, they found out it was the tires spinning on the rims after all.

Glad to hear they finally figured it out. You should be good to go now.

Great news , glad that’s all it was. What size of tire and brand is it ? Wonder what the issue between that tire and rim is?
Rim and tire opening dimensions not a good fit? Wonder how many new parts they got replaced before they decided to test it

That's so crazy!

So, that is great news, but is there a solution to prevent wheel to tire slipping in the future?

Sometimes the answer, is the easiest answer

From what they told me, the bulletin described roughing up the portion of the rim where the tire bead is. Don't shoot the messenger, that's what I was told.
