T273 -what will be next problem?

[Lacal]

Alright I'm confused and concerned. I have looked at the TYM tractors and thought one advantage they had is a 5 year warranty? If one tractor has all these problems where is the warranty?

Also, I would be writing directly to the manufacturer and to my state attorney general's office for consumer affairs. This tractor sounds like a classic lemon.

You are right on on your thinking about warranty. But be neutral and think: if someone offers you a cake without any profit, what can you expect?
When you buy a Ferrari they only gives you the warranty time stated by law...
Why TYM offers more? Think again: Are not they earning with a pile of junk? Yes, because my tractor does not comply with safety rules, meaning it cannot be usued - unless you have made a deal with St Peters or God!

Going to the Law is wasting money- dont you think they are not aware of that? - I have already spent more than 20% of unit cost and directly complain to TYM.ko. Since March 3 emails were sent without any reply...
Good service to customer!

The "breezy day" is approching.

I've had a TYM273 for 2 or 3 years now, with 640 hours on it. I've been pretty happy with it. The quick attach bucket has some issues when dragged backwards but that was covered by TYM warranty, as were some other problems. I've always found them to be very good when it comes to warranty repair, and I also have a great dealer up in Maine. One issue I've found is that the chassis bolts come loose a lot - need some plastic dip.

Now I do have an issue. I'll be talking to the dealer about it Monday. Tractor won't go backwards or forwards, HST level fine and the bucket goes up and down as does the 3 pt hitch.

Rattling noise coming from the engine too..

In several posts you refer to "safety" issues, but from re-reading this thread from the beginning I can't tell what you're referring to. What safety issue(s) are you referring to?

Is it correct that you are located in Northern Portugal? While I'm sure we're all flattered that you chose to post on TBN, I suspect there's not much anyone monitoring this site will be able to do to solve your problems. Have you considered finding a blog that is on the continent?

You clearly have some justifiable concerns. The root cause for these individual problems would be some combination of TYM corporate, your European distributor, or your local dealer. We only have the first of those in common with you.

The purpose of forums -this one is for world wide and not specific for USA - is not solve the problem each one has. It may help most of the times, but for that issued it is first needed to post public the problems that are not solved either by dealer, or later by manufacturer.This works as an alert to each visitor.
The "safety miscompliance" mentioned has been detected and confirmed by National Governmental Department of Agriculture through technical inspection performed under there responsability and protection of agricultures.
HST adjust is mentioned in TYM USA manual with owner responsability step by step trouble shooting, not worlwide. European and other country laws-same in USA, if ones search - , concerning safety of humans is direct responsability of manufacturer that must present each model manufactured for inspection, on hundreds parts, prior to release for market.

What can ones expect if representation assitance is not able to fix the failure? - you know what real pbl is: tractor do not stop movement when you
release both fw/bk pedals, neither you are able to place lever from H/L to Neutral position with engine runing - hst is always under pressure. Imagine you are attaching a FEL requiring inch by inch approche? Do you stop/start engine inch by inch movement?

You are correct when saying the only thing in common is TYM company. That is the real problem refused to be solved and that is also what a new TYM owner can expect if local dealer is not able-(lack of knowledge, missing spare parts...lack of quality...) - to solve because it overcomes his business agreement with TYM.

TYM Korea police is sell and keep profits leaving clients by there own.

You still haven't said specifically what the reason was for the "safety non compliance." So there is apparently a safety inspection that tractors need to pass in Portugal, but what specifically is it that is causing your tractor to not pass? If there is a safety issue here, that is definitely something we would all be interested in hearing.

The creeping issue just shouldn't be that big of a deal. While I never had that issue w/ my T273, there have been a few instances where people have seen that. Absolutely no one (correct me if I'm wrong in saying this) has been unable to fix the problem either by self adjustment, or by a dealer fix. This sounds like a dealer issue.

The muffler and steering knuckle issues are annoyances, but previously well documented and at the end of the day not the end of the world.

The transmission issue you mention is something that is new, and something someone may be able to help you with if you could give us a little more information than "it has burrs" and "TYM is bad."

Tractor creeping is a simple fix. Mine always goes into low/ high.


Mine is closing in on 200 hours the first 50 were the problem , since just the creeping , which I fixed in about 5 minutes.

My dealer has also helped me every time I had an issue. I'm guessing if you can turn a wrench you can fix the creeping issues.

The dealer/TYM you bought your machine can be sued in Portugal , no>? Who are the TYM police?

640 hours......whew that might take me a few years. Bout 20-25 ...

That was me with the 640 hrs. I don't have the tractor creep. What it looks like I DO have for the second time with this machine, is a stripped drive shaft according to my dealer who I spoke to this morning. At least he suspects that as it happened a year ago. Another warranty repair by the sound of it..

I grew up on a farm when you work a machine hard things break. Simple really. Stripped drive shaft must be softer to prevent other things from breaking. I've worked mine really hard at times, probably harder than what it was intended, but nothing has gone wrong.

The creep was minor. Mine was a tap of the pedal and it stopped before I adjusted it. Used it for brush yesterday it was perfect.

I did all the big jobs around here that needed doing so from now on its just small jobs. So the hours will be slow coming.

I own you an answer Mike5252. Burrs are piece of material in different shapes resulting from metal works(xe: threading,grinding,drilling...) during process manufacturing. If burrs are from iron (magnetizable) they are catched by magntic filter at bottom part of hst (T273 is round shape around 1 feet length). Bronze burrs passing filter gauge are lodged in somewhere mixed with oil causing internal axial pump and motor to "hiccup". If hst are pre-run and oil drained and replaced before send units to market, this syntom is not seen or seen ocasionally. When my tractor suffer the first failure - (first day use) - on hydro FEL block, the seller, and myself, found small burrs inside it not allowing block to go into "floating" and sometimes blocking randomly on other operations. For that reason a full hst oil change was done at 42 hrs meter under TYM expences - note that it was a decision from country representation. Why? everyone is willing to know the answer: because Tym was aware of if from other complains. Dont you agree?

Presently I beliveTym has must better quality (see I am not negative has someone in this forum have said) but, again, the tractor that was deliver to me was assembled in 2005(?) as per serial number instead of 2008 as ordered and written agreement, as per laws... Why? Answer remains in the air...

On Safety concerns, USA may be proud on having the best instruction for the owner, but Europe in our days have the tigthen rules. Because of that, my tractor was returned for inspection under European rules and miscompliance on safety was detected and is now under probation waiting TYM decision on tractor return and replace by other unit. It means, if not, I have to go and request Law-court.

Means for now I lost US $19900...
