I would like a TYM but there are 3-4 LS dealers a lot closer. Is the LS MT3..HC engine have electric injector or mechanical? What on the engine is electronic? I can find out a lot about the TYM/Kukje online/youtube but not much about the LS? The only computer on a TYM is the DPF.

MTron makes it. It is electronic fuel injection. The engine is controlled by an ECM, unlike the Kukje diesel. The LS engines are at the mercy of the ECM

There is a TYM dealer in Tonawanda. My map say 27 miles from you. My dealer is 80 miles from me. The closest is 40 away. There are most other brands from 7-40 miles from me, but I got the better tractor for me from a good dealer.

Unless it is a bad dealership, get the tractor you want. Sure, it would be great if my TYM dealer would open up close by, but a good tractor and a good dealer are more important to me than a 'close' dealer.

Do all of the LS dealers have repair bays? a couple LS dealerships I saw didn't appear to have a repair bay, they just sold them (Not sure how that works or is allowed).
Our local Dealership that I had a good relationship with and did work on them, recently closed due to family health and retirement (RCO thread).
IF the dealership has been there a long time, has repair bays and mechanics and you get a good feeling from talking with them, then you should be ok.

I just like knowing I’ll never have to post that my tractor is throwing codes and in limp mode. Some of these things have been running 300 hours without a regen. I’d say 80% of my use is at 2600 rpm… so we will see how it goes.
