Hi All:
Maybe I can spare some heartache here. I recently bought a TYM 394 with FEL and hydrostatic transmission. It's a decent little tractor with a good Yanmar engine, BUT....
I'm at 50 hours on it, and it's time to do the first oil change and the initial hydro fluid change. Don't worry, this is the interval for a new tractor and the hours are much longer for the next change.
Getting parts for these things is a bear! You have to call the dealership you got it from, or email them (unfortunately my dealer's email address online bounces back to me.)
There does not seem to be a simple, easy online shopping site to just click and get your parts. And TYM itself is pretty poor at answering emails. They'll just point you back to your dealer.
So....if you're like me and you want to get your parts by going online, clicking a few spots, and waiting for the UPS man, you'd be better off with several other brands. Heck, it was easier to get parts for my 70+ year old 9N or my 35 year old grey market Yanmar than for my year old TYM.
Just something for you all to consider.
