TYM T1104 Tractor & TX110 Loader and a lot of questions

[W5FL]

Today I took delivery of a new TYM T1104 Tractor & TX110 Loader and would like to be a contributor in this forum. Unfortunately there are many unknowns for me, but I guess I will struggle for a while. This is an upgrade to my 22 year old Kubota M6800 which has served me well.

Let me say you're probably a rare bird in TYM crowd as it is the largest one in the US market. Most of us are below 60hp for now, so other T1104's owners might be far between.

Congratulations on the new tractor! Please keep us informed on how it performs for you! (Pictures are always great too!)

Stoney Ridge Farmer on the toobe has one.

Congrats on the new Tractor. We have a T1054 Tx105 loader.

I will post a new thread about our issues.

Hi M_Beaty. Glad to find someone else with the same tractor as I have a lot of questions. Have you found any good tym forums that cover the 100 hp tractors?

I love TBN, but not many people have tym tractors.

Have been waiting today for the freight guy to show up with my Titan 86 inch flail mower.

I have a shuttle on my Kubota M6800 which uses the regular clutch, but it works different than the one on the TYM -T1104. I need to learn to use the one on the tym more proficiently.

My biggest problem is the first step is hard to reach. The Kubota also had a large first step, but not as large as this one.

Have been looking at filters and fluids for the 50 hour service. The Kioti PX1153 operators manual and service manual are so much better than the TYM manuals and the tractor is almost identical.

Nice looking tractor, reading what little information there is on the website it sounds like it has a hi/lo on the go for each gear.
It was hard to tell from the cab picture but it looks like one rear remote has a float mode available.
I have the power shuttle on my Branson and I like it, my "clutch" pedal operation is rather notchy. The farm has 2 with the power shuttles and they are nice the PUMA 125 has the full power shift with the shuttle, the NH 8050 has semi power shift with the reverser both of them the foot clutch is nicer on.

Thanks for the comment LouNY. I was actually looking for a Branson 80 hp, but they were never really available.
The TYM is really a nice tractor. The hi/low is auto clutch and on the fly, so it is a really nice feature for me. When you need a 1/2 gear increase or decrease, just push the button. It will not automatically cycle throuch all gears although it adds 16 more gears readily available, but the price was much better than the M6 kubota I had my heart set on.
Yes, one of the three hydraulic remotes has a detent and float mode and the other two are standard remotes.

Just getting started using this tractor, so not many comments so far.

 

[LouNY]

Yea, Branson has dropped there larger tractors from our market the 8050 and 7845 are gone and are now orphans in a limited issue.
It will be interesting to see what the parts availability becomes in 10 years. They never even produced a service manual for the 8050.

I just got one myself. Looking for the backup alarm, as it's incredibly loud. Lights are amazingly bright, A/C works fantastic, I've been using the 750PTO setting for light weed topping of the fields, and that's a nice feature (also has 540 and 1000) . Really wish the new tractors didn't have all of the DEF, derate, and regeneration routines built in with many sensors to trigger it all.

Congrats on the new tractor! My wife thought our T574 is big.

TYM is becoming a stronger player in the US market. Given those close working relationship with TYM and the you tubers, I'll be Stoney Ridge Farmer or one of the other guys can help with your questions.

 

[W5FL]

Congrats on the new tractor. I suspect my neighbors could hear me moving hay into the barn at 1:00 in the morning, but the lights seemed like daylight. I think it makes a very nice farm tractor for me and I love the a/c. I have never seen any derating, minimum DEF use and sounds like regens are far between. Please post your comments on your tractor use.

by the wiring diagram, it looks to be on the right rear up under the cab

Congratulations on the new tractor! Please keep us informed on how it performs for you! (Pictures are always great too! I have found 3 things with my T1104 that I feel are an issue. 1. Plastic fenders; today while brush hogging I ran over a limb and it came up and busted half my rear fender off. 2. My front fenders will not stay tight so I had to remove them. 3. If you raise the loader all the way up (and it raises high), and tilt bucket all the way down at full height, you will bend the loader arm, already had to replace one. It is a factory flaw and they don’t seem too worried about fixing it.

I believe I own one of the first TYM 1104 in the country. It was displayed at a show in California in 2020 and delivered to me beginning of 2021. The tractor has served me very well and it’s a beast in all that it does. From cutting hay to baling it, from the large BushHog it runs, to the huge box blade it pulls and so much more. The loader can lift some serious weight, however it has a flaw. The top (links) arms can not handle downward pressure. No problem with lift. When back blading using downward pressure the arms (top links) bend. This has occurred twice. After purchasing a second new set (not cheap) it occurred again. I had to find a solution. Welding a steel bar to the exterior is the only thing that I can think of, unless someone else can think of another solution.

 

[Thinkrancher]

I have had the same problem with the upper arms. I’m getting ready to have a professional weld steel reinforcements on the outside of the arms. It’s happened twice and it’s the only solution I can think of. We shall see….

 

[CloverKnollFarms]

Once you reinforce those, I'd worry about bending loader cylinders... Back dragging with a loader is a little like using a screwdriver as a pry bar. Right now your leveling arms are giving first... If they don't, what will?

 

[Torvy]

^Back dragging is definitely one of those things that people do wrong. You tube doesn't help as half of them are abusing their equipment.

 

[CloverKnollFarms]

When I was a kid on the farm, I broke a lot of things too... Because I didn't know how to properly operate some of the equipment

 

[K5lwq]

Self leveling arms are nice for some things but back dragging is not one of them. Rather than reinforcing the arms, try curling the bucket all the way up so there is no way for it to bend and use the heel of the bucket to back drag. It works but takes a little more time to get it smooth. But you won’t tear anything up doing it that way.
