ok, I looked at the TYM from two dealers this week as well as the LS, T233/273 and j2020 and 2030....
TYM seemed much better than LS on a number of issues including fluid cooling fan vs. chiller, 4wd linkage to front axle, etc.
However It seemed to me (a newbie) that the TYM had some vibration I wouldn't have expected, those of you reading that have or had TYM tractors as well as others, do you find there to be more vibration at idle on these or is this maybe just cold/new engine?
I have read some posts here talking bout loosening bolts and overtorqued frames and wonder if their is some basic engineering flaw here or just too much negativity on the new kid on the block.
I have still to close up inspect the BX24, JD 10xx/2320, GC2410, Kioti/Bobcat, or Mahindra, but specs on paper seem to give TYM an advantage, without price/dealer being considered....my wife drives a KIA and its awesome (esp for the money) + all the "US" companies are foreign anyway.
FYI: I don't need to mow, just need a lot of landscaping/drainage/BH/wall building work to be done on 1-1/2 acres on lee side of sorta steep hill.
So if you TYM owners care to offer any reassurance/anectdotes/cautionary tales to an enthusiastic newbie, that'd b great:thumbsup:
