First tractor is on it's way

tkappeler · Aug 17, 2012

After digesting responses to my newbie questions, pouring over specs and interrogating dealers, I finally decided on the TYM T293. It will be delivered Monday! A set of pallet forks is coming along for the ride. It's all very exciting, especially since I know own the property as of today. I plan on starting a separate thread on the demolition/rebuilding of the new home.

Congratulations. I remember the apprehension that I had when I first ordered my Tractor, picked it up, and bought it home. Here's wishing you many enjoyable and productive hours of Seat time. :thumbsup:

Congratulations on your new tractor, to paraphrase TEXASJOHN, nothing like having the tools you need and needing the tools you have. Can't beat a new or new to you tractor and a piece of land on which to use it.:thumbsup:

Nice looking tractor. Looks like you'll have excellent visibility for loader work. Enjoy and be safe.

Now that's pretty. Did you get it dirty yet!

Thank God for Google ...so now I know what a TYM T293 is. Anyway best wishes with both your purchases.

TripleR · Aug 22, 2012

I've never seen a TYM, that is a really nice looking tractor. I like the small details like valve stem protectors. You are going to love using that thing and will be amazed at what you can accomplish.:thumbsup:

madmax12 · Aug 22, 2012

What did you get as pallet forks? Do u have a web link?

Guesseral · Aug 22, 2012

Wow I didn't see the valve stem protectors, now I am jellous. Had a flat just 2 weeks ago, mowing and a branch came up and knocked the valve stem off. Didn't cost much to get fixed but it sure was a pain!

Same thing happened to our Kubota M8540 HDC the second time I used it; our L5030 had protectors, but they didn't come on the M. Our L5740 has them on the front, but not the back. I may pick up some of these if it happens again.
