TYM-USA website upgraded!

Chipperman · Aug 16, 2006

Friends

Stop by @ www.tym-usa.com and take a look. If you liked our site (TYM-America) you will like the new look. It is not finished (still a few more changes, additions and tweaks to be done.)

I have not had much time to contribute here lately with all the shows and other projects I have been working on. Tractors got a lot of attention (and a few retails sales) at Empire Farm Day's in Seneca Falls, NY and the Erie County Fair near Buffalo, NY. PA Ag Progress show near State College, which runs through tomorrow, was generating a lot of interest as well. We are setting up in Boonville, NY tomorrow (Thurs) for the Boonville Forestry Days, which runs Friday through Sunday. If you have never been there and can make it you should check it out. All kinds of competitions from Chain saw racing to Lumber Jack and lumber Jill events. Fun for the whole family.

A few other shows to visit will be the Farm Science Review near Columbus, OH, Husker Harvest in NE, and the International Lawn and Garden Equipment Expo in Louisville, KY. Hope to see you at one or another.
Happy Tractoring

Looks pretty much like TYM-America's site.

There are still some issues that apply to both sites:

-Go to the T233 or T273 pages and click on "view feature" and you get the features of a T330. Same applies to the K6 pages and the "view feature" button.
-None of the attachements pages ("Loaders", "Backhoes", "Mowers") actually have links or details - just a couple of small thumbnail photos
-Spec sheets for the K2 and K6 tractors do not show PTO horsepower, only gross HP. If you do a "compare tractors", the PTO horsepower listed for the K2 and K6 tractors is the same as the gross HP - which is not possible. So, which number is right? What is the value of the one that is not?
-The only loader specs available are by downloading the loader manuals - and those are only linked for the T233 and T273 models

Don't get me wrong - I think they are nice looking machines and are definitely on my "short list" of prospective tractors when I am finally ready to buy. I do have to say the new TYM-USA site is a vast improvement over the previous one, but both TYM sites have a long way to go to be considered the marketing tools that the big boys have. One thing I'd like to see is a place to download PDF's of the flyers that the dealers have. It makes things easier when starting to look/compare than having to go to a dealer that doesn't want to offer much unless you are waiving a stack of Ben Franklin's in his nose ready to load the machine on a trailer.

Thanks for the comments they have been duly noted. I am sure as we move into the future you will see these things corrected. I obviously have a bias but I think although our website still needs work I think it is still head and shoulders above much of our competition.

Interesting - I don't have any trouble accessing it.

It is a great improvement over the web site they had in 2003. Back then it was Cigarette filter manufacturing, silverware manufacturing and oh yea tractors

Good to see TYM-America convincing them the “internet” is actually a valuable tool.

I can load the TYM website but anyone who thinks it is better than the JD, Kubota or Kioti sites must be smoking something. As others have pointed out, you cannot even get specifications on the FEL and BH for the 233, 273.

Lame.

I dont think anyone said it was better than other sites out there just a vast improvement from what it was, Im shure the brands that you have mentioned have had sites that have gone through the evolution process as well. I do agree with you that it still needs vast improvements on specs ect. It is much better then the previous release

Re: specs for bh and loader for the T273/233, you can download or view both owners manuals for each (along with the owners manual for the tractor) on the web site via three buttons at the top of the spec sheet on the web site.

Good luck
