New TYM T293

[Mike5252]

I was just browsing around the internet this afternoon and stumbled on a new TYM model (new to me at least). A T293. Basically a T233/273 except a 29 hp engine, slightly different front grill, and information said it ran smoother.

Has anyone seen one of these? Looked pretty slick.

I saw that too. Also larger tires and so a wider stance and higher ground clearance. I think the extra 2 HP may come from the extra 100 RPM, although that wouldnt explain the increase in PTO HP.
Seems like an improvement on the 273. Hmmm, wonder if when my tires are sufficiently worn, my 273 can be transmogrified into a 293?

I saw the info posted on the TYM Website also, and I do believe that the only major difference between the 273 and 293 is the larger tire size. I took possession of my '09 - 273 in April and I'm totally satisified with it. However, I cannot see any HP difference. The 273 and 293 have the same motor - where is that extra power (2hp) supposed to come from? I certainly don't see it. They list the exact same motor spec's for each model. I agree with Bob, if I buy larger wheels/tires can I redesignate my machine as an 293? I don't think so, but it might be real nice to have the additional clearance/stance that those tires would give. I just don't see how TYM can list it as what it apparently is not -- a larger HP'd machine. Just my .02..... nevertheless...TYM, if you're monitoring this -- I do "truly" love my 273.

Gregster613, I lived just below you in Poway for many years. Used to spend lots of time in Ramona, go to Dudleys on my way to Julian and we went to watch my brother race motocross at Barona. It was a good place to live. I do miss it once in a while but then I remember traffic on 15 and 163 going down town and I get my head back on straight.

Exactly what I posted a month ago or so. . . must be just be the hp at a different engine RPM. Kinda lousy advert if you ask me. I too love my 273 (TYM, if you're listenting), but tires aside, why re-market as a 29hp? In fact, if I'm not mistaken this same mitsubishi engine is rated at 26hp for the Mahindra 2615 series. Again - its all dependent upon what RPM engine is turning at. . . Almost seems as if they're admitting that the 233 is underhorsepowered for the job. . . .

Great tractors, incredible warrenty - don't dick around with a product that sells itself - just give folks 5min on-board and they'll see the difference.

I have the Montana T2734( made by TYM) I didn't like the way it was always spinning in the mud so I changed the tires to R1's. Gave me a bigger tire both front and rear, and its like night and day the way it goes in mud now. Getting those R4 tires off was the best thing I ever did, wish I had done it the day I brought the tractor home.

These are the tires I put on.

Maka, Glad to hear from you. I read many, many of your posts while I was determining which flavor of tractor to seriously look at. We "used" to have a Mahrindra dealer in town, still have a Montana dealer and I looked at both of them seriously...I believe that the quality was equaled out between those and the TYM; but I just couldn't manage to beat the end-all price & warranty for tractor and equipment that I wanted. Plus, the basic tractor weight difference was substantial. Anyhow, I wanted to tell you I've lived here since retireing from the USMC at Camp Pendleton in 1999 and the town has grown, traffic is substantially heavier now - Hwy 67 has become a potential death trap and Hwy 78 is not much better. So I hear and understand your comment about getting your head back straight. I used to commute daily between here and Pendleton for 2 years before I retired from the military. Thankfully, I don't have to travel either of those roads on a daily basis (I'm lucky enough to work right in town at the High School) and because of that I love living here as much as I love my new 'Little' tractor. I sure do appreciate reading and absorbing all the information you choose to share whenever anyone has a problem or asks a question and you respond. Thanks from North County...Gregster613

Good to hear from you. I used to go up the back way out of Poway and head hwy 67 to Santee and Lakeside. It was dangerous back then and I left in 2002.

As I recall, the Mahindra dealer was on the right side as you just enter town. They also were a trailer dealer, right? Well, enjoy your tractor. Is is a great little machine.

The specs for the 293 show max rpm as 2800 as opposed to the 273 at 2700. That would do it. I would like to know what they changed to get that - just changing the gov or what.

Yes, the extra 100 rpm at HP measurement might do it, but it wouldn't explain the increased HP at the PTO which is the SAME RPM as the 273. It's not a turbo, so they aren't just dialing up the boost -- so,...what? It's not just an academic question; I have a 273 - which I love dearly (400 hrs and counting). In low gear it has no trouble spinning all 4 tires on dry dirt or packed gravel. It should easily handle larger tires and more HP could only help. Oh, yeah, hydraulic flow appears slightly
higher also. Can that be a result of the extra 100 RPM? Maybe, but I don"t run at that RPM..



Higher ground clearance and a wider stance would be good in my case - 120 year old forest with uneven ground - trail making, minor logging, way more dirt digging and moving than I ever expected...(only because now I CAN, you see).
So can TYM or a dealer or anyone more Knowledgable than me (that doesn't take much) respond with a definative answer?
