TYM T25 this thing is amazing!!!

Hey, what do you guys think of those Bluetooth speakers? I've always been curious as to how well they performed against the sound of that Yanmar diesel.

The engine isn't very loud, speakers work great. I only wish I had a better signal in my area.

I like hearing that they're a useful, enjoyable feature; when the T25 was first announced a lot of us presumed the speakers were a bit gimmicky, thinking you'd never hear them with any real quality over the engine. Since then not only am I hearing good things, but it seems like TYM is spreading that work light and speaker pod across their lineup.

I'm really hoping this is one of those things that slowly becomes common across the industry.

Are those R14's tires on.it?

On ours the General manager of the store when he dropped it off said that this was the first year for the hybrid tires. (I don't remember if they said it was a option or standard)I forgot what type he said they were but a cross between general construction and terf

What do you think of the tires so far? I've got them on my Kioti, and I've been quite impressed. Already went through one winter, and I've found them to be a lot better than the R4 tires I've had in the past.

My understanding with the R14 is that Kubota and Goodyear had an exclusive deal for a year or two. Sometimes a vendor will make those deals with a new product as sort of a beta test. They have been out for a few years now, but only starting to be available with new tractors on other brands.

Nice little tractor, just not big enough for my farm use.

That may be true, but I bet if you were given one you'd find a million uses for it around the home and barn.

Probably would actually.

The speakers serve their purpose but they are anything but good. I still prefer using my ear buds. They are ok for when my wife and I are doing construction and just want some tunes though.

The mid mount PTO is not installed by default, it's a dealer installed option. You can also self install, it's a simple plate on the bottom of the tranny you take off, and attach the pto gearbox to. Looks very simple other than needing to drain some fluid.

So far I'm liking mine, around 10 hours, only a couple on the backhoe. Haven't filled my tires yet, and haven't received my finish mower or pallet forks yet but the hours will go up much faster when I do!

It's ok for digging holes, and the bucket has done well enough for my driveway leveling so far!

I wear hearing protection on the tractor, so speakers would be moot. I remember chopping forage with the old German diesel 826, with the radio blaring in my face as a kid. Today I use ANR and listen to music when working. If I really want to hear the machine, I'll switch the earbuds to passive NR and listen. I've begun to value my hearing.

 

[TractorTYMe]

I don't listen to music when using the tractor, I now wear earmuffs and need to listen to change in tone if something is brewing with the machinery.

T25 comes with R3 or R4 tires.

But R14s are now an option on the T25.

Not according to TYM website. I suppose a dealer could offer them independently.

Has anyone compared the T25 to the 2515 models?

I got a 2515R but I’ve heard a lot about how people just love their T25’s as well as the 2515 guys love theirs.

The 2515 is pretty much two times the T25 just about in every spec other than HP.

 

[TractorTYMe]

The T2515 is pretty much a 25Hp version with same frame size as my T474. VERY capable large frame 25Hp tractor...........

As the gentlemen above me posted, the 2515 is in a whole different class. They're both great machines, but the 2515 is on the larger end of the Compact Utility Tractor or CUT spectrum, where the T25 is on the smaller end. Hell, some would argue that the T25 is a large Sub-Compact Utility Tractor, or SCUT. That puts is closer to the (legacy Branson) TYM 2610h, which while a nice machine, is a generation behind the T25 with regards to operator comfort.

The T25 is going to be quicker than the 2515 due to it's better power-to-weight ratio, but the larger machine will outperform the T25 in any task that hydraulics and weight will benefit.

Obviously, you need one of each.

 

[Torvy]

TYM considers the T25 a Tier 1 (Subcompact), but the '15 series' machines are Tier 2 (smaller compact tractors) The 2515 is even slightly lighter than the T394. The T25 is like 1000lbs lighter. Almost like trying to compare a sedan to a small pickup. Different roles.

^^^Cool.
Thanks for the info.

You know, there is a real lack of pictures in this thread... T25 owners.
