Well, I like it a LOT!! It is not the tractor I wanted, but turned out to be the tractor I actually needed.

That's a great testimonial.

I went from two Kioti tractors to TYM and I'm never going back!

The T25 is my first non lawn tractor and all I can say is I’ve been very happy with it. I’ve done a ton of work with it already having it this past season .

It’s a beast for its size. My issue is becoming where do I store all the attachments

I watched that video, its very good info! My T494 is basically the same tractor except for the Turbo.

The interesting thing is when the engine oil was drained and the guy mentions the attached backhoe frame with the plate that blocks access to the oil drain plugs and he said the plate/frame would not be there if the owner did not order the backhoe.

I changed my oil yesterday and I also had that plate/frame but I did not order the backhoe. I also notice those two holes on the plate were probably there for access to the drain plugs and if true then that plate was probably installed backwards as is mine. All the oil from both plugs poured onto the top of the plate and then flowed down from the plate on both sides and through the holes which gets messy and a pita to cleanup.

There are petcocks, in various thread sizes, which replace the drain plug, and have a straight section on the outlet side you can put a hose on. Not sure where to find them, but I bought a used Dodge Ram 3500 with the Cummins, and a previous owner had installed them on all the drains.

Did a quick search: Buy Fumoto® Valve Online | Replace Oil Drain Plug

They don't list tractors, but they are sold in various threads, so you can probably contact them, and get a plug for whatever thread you need.

This is what is on my truck. F104N - Engine Oil Drain Valve with Nipple 18mm-1.5 | FUMOTO
