I just purchased the T433 cab which is basically the same tractor with a bit less HP. I have been busy setting it up for my needs, got a tooth bar for the bucket, a ballast box and a set of clamp on bucket pallet forks. I just need to get a rear mounted snowblower before the snow hits.

I have just started doing some work around the farm learning how it operates. I have never run a tractor with a multiple geared shuttle shifter, my old tractors were three speeds and the Kubota had hydro which was nice and easy, so all these wide varieties of different gearing ratios is taking a bit of getting used to.

For the short time I have had it I have done some digging and some stump removal I can say so far so good and it is a heck of a lot nicer than any of my previous tractors.

I was looking at a MF 1652 but it seems that the cab is rather low and tend to knock your head on it if you arent carefull. How is the cab on the 433.
I may have to look at those tractors. Doesnt TYM make some of the major branded, Case, NH or JD ?? tractors for them. I dont know much about the TYM brand. Either of you guys know the history of TYM tractors other than they are made in Korea. By the way, the price for the 1652 was $32,838 with Cab and FEL. ANy one got pricing on TYM for a 50 HP with Cab and loader?

Much of what I have learned about TYM was right here on this board, the threads and posts go back quite a few years. I have been looking at them and just about every other tractor make for several years at different farms shows and I was always impressed with TYM. After talking to several owners that had good things to say about them I decided to get one.

Getting to the cab, all my other tractors were open so the cab is another thing I am getting used to, I do like it a lot so far and will like it even more come winter.

As for the cab's room and quality it seems to be on a par with most of the other popular cab tractors I have looked at.

I was looking at buying a T603 but every dealer that TYM lists in my area didnt have any and didnt know when they would be able to get any. I decided on an alternate LS P7010 C model (72 HP) which one of the TYM dealers that also sold LS tractors had in stock. I was drawn to the TYM for the powershuttle feature but took the shuttle shift on the LS instead. It is likely lots more trouble free in the long run. I guess only time will tell if I like it but for the money, I got a heck of a tractor for about $1000 more than a MF 48 HP model. Since it has a 3 speed PTO (540, 750 & 1000) I figure I can do the same work with no more fuel than a smaller tractor by jacking up the PTO speed to 750 and idling back to lower RPM when bushhogging. The bucket size on this tractor is enormous which will come in handy moving all the dirt from where we dug out our almost dried up pond.

Wow a 503 cab with loader under $26,000 thats just too good.
sign me up for one too. no more hot summers mowing with the weed seeds blowing up you nose. that would be worth an extra $5 grand. hope next summer I run on a deal like that.

I just looked at a 2010 TYM T503, 4WD with loader today (10-29-2010 FRI) and I was impressed with just about everything the model offered. The selling price is:
$22,500, which seems reasonable.

The same dealer also sells Kioti and they are very similar in features and price.
