You have it backward the RK is built by TYM. Their hoods are not plastic either, The RK and TYM have the same motor as well , THe TYm built mahindras have a different motor.
I have it right. The RK is a TYM, just like a TYM is an RK, just as I said. And yes, they both have plastic hoods and fenders.

Then your RK has different tractors than mine, because ours are certifiably plastic. Any review I see, also states as such. The only difference is the power plant that RK has in theirs. And the TYM is an RK… because they are from the same mfg. Semantics

What model TYM do you own? If you are talking about your Mahindras, those are a completely different animal. The TYM branded tractors have plastic everything, as well as the RKs. I’ve been test driving TYMs the past two weeks.

All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. All RK tractors are TYM, but not all TYM tractors are RK.

Yes, but the TYM and RK are the identcal tractor, aside from the power plant, identical. Well, and the hood emblem. Should specify before I’m corrected about the hood emblem too 😂

I'd like to see a salesman from each brand try to argue the finer points of their respective tractor over the other. 🤣

I have a feeling RK has no idea what they are selling… my TYM dealers are very knowledgeable and very nice. I just think I’m leaning toward the 4820 instead of the 494.

Perhaps the newer models switched to plastic?
