Yanmar just released 3 new models, and they are all re-badged TYMs.

So basically, if you want to buy a TYM you now have another paint scheme option.

So basically, if you want to buy a TYM you now have two paint scheme options.

You can buy a Legacy Branson TYM as a Bad Boy and I'm pretty sure TYM still builds some machines for Mahindra, so TYM can be found in many places.

Now that said, if I purchased a Yanmar I'd expect it to be made by Yanmar.

Yep, I was interested in one of the new Yanmar SM475 until I found out it was actually a TYM. Nice looking tractor though, with the red paint, black loader and bronze rims.

TYM is a power house. They now make their own engines since buying Branson, and they make all rural king tractors, made all Cabela's tractors, all bad boy, some Mahindra, some yanmar, zetor, and maybe others.

TYM no longer has any affiliation w Mahindra.
They used to make their 25 and 26 hundred series.
I liked them because they had their hydro pedals next to each other and were smooth running.
If you were bringing these into the woods, best have some type of skid shield.

It looks like TYM builds some for Iseki and John Deere also?

ISEKI

In collaboration with ISEKI, one of the largest and oldest Japanese manufacturers, TYM import utility tractors are built to be powerful and cost-effective, from the low-emission engines to the high-accuracy hitch controls.

No doubt and they could be great reliable tractors, but when I learned of the Yanmar SM475, I got all excited about a 75 horse, made in Japan Tractor for $54,000, with a 10 year power train warranty. That's a much better deal that I could get from the only other Japanese manufacture, Kubota.

Turns out, it was too good to be true. Painting Yanmar on the side of a TYM does not make it a Yanmar in my book. The Yanmar dealer felt the same way. He sold Yanmar tractors and had no interest in selling/supporting TYM tractors.

Once again, I'm not knocking TYM as I've never owned one. I'm just saying this whole bait and switch marketing tactic feels dishonest to me. What interests me about a Yanmar is where it's made (Japan), not the paint color.

Guess some one else is building tractors for Yanmar rather than Yanmar building them for some one else like usual. Of course they have Yanmar engines in them.

Looks like Yanmar is trying to hit the sweet spot in between the YT2 (65in wheelbase) and the YT3 (75in wheelbase). 70in wheelbase is right at Ford 8N, Kubota L3560, L4802, Kioti DK20, Massey 1800M territory.

That tractor is a beast with proven Deutz diesel engine. Made in Germany and very highly regarded.
