New TYM 353 owner/operator

T37E3,
Welcome to the TYM family, did you get the HST? What part of the country are you located? If you search my logon name I have posted a couple of pics of some work lights I added to my ROPS. Enjoy your new toy!

Congratulations to you T37ES on the new toy I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have mine.

Latest update I now have 153 hours on mine so I did the oil at 147 as well as greasing all the fittings and checked all the bolts I could find.

I did have one problem at 127 hours my PTO stopped working and I could start the machine with out pushing in the clutch. I traced it down to the safety control box so I pulled it out and taken it to my dealer on a Thursday morning and they drop shipped me one and I got it Friday afternoon. I could not ask for anything better.

I rented a 2 bottom plow and expanded my garden area it had no problem pulling it through hard packed ground rolling the rocks right out. I want to get ready for tilling next year so I figured it would be easyer to prep it now while equipment is available.

I still love the machine and feel it will last me a long time.

Joeyd,

I saw your pics and am looking to set something up before winter. I am Oklahoma, just outside OKC. The dealer only had the shuttle shift, and since it was the last day of the special they were running, I went ahead with that. So far, I really like the shuttle shift.

Thanks everyone for the words. I am having a great time with my TYM. It amazes me every time I put it to work. I am planning on getting a backhoe to clean out the creek bed, pond and trench a french drain...just for starters.

When we bought this house, it came with the Mitsu D2050 and these implements: box blade, grading blade, finish mower, rotory cutter, tiller and yard rake. All are 4', but they don't look too small behind the tractor. I have been spending some time getting these into shape...the rotory cutter took me almost a month to get the stump jumper off so that I could tighten the transmission back down to the deck. Working on the yard rake and tiller is my next step.

She's a little dusty from the work I've been doing, but I am attaching the photo of the homecoming...my wife asked if I was going to have a welcome home party

I have a 353 also and am having problems with the linkage on the three point hitch bending. I take it off occasionally and bend the inner bar straight, but it bends again. Has anyone had this problem and know of a solution?

What have you been using on the 3pt? I have used a 68" Meteor Snow Blower all winter with no trouble and a back blade last fall. I would think once it bends it will retain the memory of the weak spot and just continue to bend when under stress. Are your lower arms tight enough to keep the movement on the upper arm to a minimum?

[Hello

QUOTE=Rjoew;2067854]Well hello all!
I am the proud owner of a TYM 353 shuttle shift and am enjoying it to the max. I picked it on May 26, 2010 and have a little over 107 hours on it with no problems. I did the 50 hour service myself and found it to be easy and the service manual I picked up seems to cover everything I feel would ever need to do to it.

I chose the shuttle shift over the hydrostat as I will be doing most of the service and repairs on the tractor and I guess I am just more comfortable with it.

Compared to my old 58 Massy model 50 it is like operating a Cadillac. It is smooth and easy to operate and the controls are easy to reach.

My main use will be on my property I have 10 acres in north Idaho and in a Snow Belt area. So far the hours I have put on it have been working on my drive way getting it ready for winter. I have a gravel pit on one corner of the place so I have been using the bucket to dig out pit run and a back blade and a box blade to smooth it out and crown it. This winter I will use to push snow and keep my place clean.

If anybody is looking for a tractor of this size and horse power I do recommend it.
