New TYM 2515R review

[ptsg]

I'm still thinking tire spin, not rim slipping on tire. Loader in the front, nothing on the 3 pt hitch to provide counter weight and plant those tires on the ground, R4 tires, going up an hill in dirt or gravel in 2WD, it's screaming tire spin too me but we will know once dealer figures it out.

So, any chance we filled the rears with plain hose water, and it was frozen? I could see that acting weird, and also sounding weird.

No chance on water getting in there and freezing. Tractor is parked under cover and never saw rain.

Also, the dealer has torn apart the tractor and said they are waiting on parts, but hasn't told me what they think the problem is, so I don't know what parts they are supposedly waiting on.

OK, so I went down to the dealer and spoke directly to the guy in charge. He says there was nothing wrong mechanically with the tractor. Everything looked good inside after they tore it down. He said TYM told them to start replacing parts, which they are doing, but there's nothing wrong with the parts that are being changed out.

He said he thinks the issue was the tires slipping on the wheels/bead.

OP should/might want to, set up his phone to video it once the tractor is home from the side of the hill this is happening on- again mark the tire to wheel alignment with a grease or chalk pen. ptsg you maybe right and the tires may just be spinning.

I think misunderstood what I meant. Did you fill your rear tires with water for added weight, and if so, is it possible the water froze, creating a less than circular tire?

The tires were loaded with beet juice.

Now knowing the tires are loaded with rimguard I seriously doubt tire spin especially since you also locked differential. Also doubt tire to rim spin, I wouldn’t think you’d hear a loud ratcheting or screeching noise as you described. Hard to say what but I think something let go in axle and neither dealership or tym know what. Just a Hail Mary parts throw now.

With low pressure, tire spin is a possibility on tires with rim guard.

I see it as a good sign from tym that they are willing to spend money on parts even without solid evidence of something failed. There are other manufacturers that would have said put it together and get it out the door. And if the problem comes back hopefully it’s after warranty has run out.

Tym is making an effort to keep the problem from coming back and make the customer happy.

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.
