T354 Shuttle. Thoughts?

[sideskraft]

Same. I felt way more comfortable in the TYM T354 compared the LS XG3140. Leg room is an absolute necessity. I also agree on the shuttle opinion. Man, Friday cannot come soon enough. I swear I'm more anxious/excited waiting for my new tractor than my 5yr old is when he's waiting for Christmas. Although he's pretty wound up waiting for the tractor too. He told me just last night that he's going to plow our road for me this winter so I won't have to do it all the time. I love that kids ambition towards machinery. My brother has already been scouring amazon for speaker and a stereo for it as well as a couple of LED light bars. I think my whole family is rather pumped actually.

And the more research I do, the more I'm inclined to believe that we'll have no issues making all the hay we need, as far as the tractor goes.

My 2540 Mahindra is basically the TYM 354 with a 2.7 4 cylinder Mahindra MCRD engine, and I've been very happy with mine (now has 125 hours). It's babied for the most part with very little PTO use excepting for a few hours a year cutting a couple miles of grass growing on the shoulders of our county road. I've pushed the loader moving crushed concrete and sand expanding the parking area behind the pole barn and it did great (having filled rear tires likely helped). What I'm not happy about is that Burnips is no longer a Mahindra dealer as of last summer, so if I need any warranty work done it could be a challenge. I found this machine on CL with less than 50 hours in 2016 and couldn't pass it up ($15,500 with 6' rotary cutter, 6' back blade, and a front plow that had never been used). I also looked at all the other brands and would have bought an LS (great dealer north of Muskegon). This is my first tractor so I have nothing to compare it to, but I've never regretted the purchase.
