Tractor
None just yet....still looking.
I am looking between these two tractors.

I have about 35 acres in SW Colorado at 7500' elevation. Forested land a bit rugged with Ponderosa and pinyon/juniper. Will be mainly using it for brush hogging gambel oak, 700' driveway maintenance, maybe some snow moving...

I like the idea of less electronics in the kukje motor but like the more established yanmar...Any issues with either of these? Pros and cons? Both dealers by the property are very small and non-dedicated(meaning they do other type business other than tractors).

Would like to hear from owners of either, or even owners of other tractors of these manufacturers.

If anyone has owned or used both these machines even better.

Thanks

I actually live in Phoenix and the property is in CO. I was just messaging with a local dealer that carries Yanmar and TYM(Well not currently). They suspended carry TYM saying they were not giving any customer or parts support and some engine issues on bigger tractors.

The YT will cost you a good bit more, but if you can afford it with no problems, in my mind it is the better machine. I chose my LS over the TYM, but they were comparable. The YT blows them both out the water, along with just about every other make.

The YT347 is probably the best compact tractor on the market IMO. Lots of great features, two rear remotes and loaded tires standard, 10 year power train warranty. The integrated hydro mechanical transmission is easy to use, highly configurable, and puts power to the ground like a gear drive.

The Yanmar with the i-HMT transmission is made for brush hogging. That transmission alone sets it apart from other tractors. Also, that Yanmar engine is no slouch either ; )
