25hp tractor- TYM or LS?

[perryjosh64]

Folks I’m in the research phase of getting a new tractor hopefully next year. Would be a 25 hp +/- tractor with front end loader for general homestead use. Looking at the TYM 2515H vs LS MT226E but also a couple of their smaller models (TYM25 or LS MT225). Any experience with these models or recommendations between TYM and LS brands appreciated.

Both solid choices.

Been real happy with my '20 XR3140H LS

Hard to pick a 'bad' tractor so.....

Pick a tractor that best suits your needs, an honest dealer you can rely on for support if need be.

I think #Muhammad had a spell check malfunction and meant "search".

Maybe. He's been at this so long, tractors are like Church to him.

More to the question at hand. The biggest difference that is sometimes overlooked between those two brands is that the TYM models lift higher than their LS peers. I know when I was looking the LS that was closest to my TYM lifted 12" shorter.

Lift capacity is listed to max height, so a lower max height also means less lift capacity through the lift curve.

Other than that, they seem to be fairly close. Find the one that suits you with a dealer that values your time and money.

I would choose based on local dealer support. Do they stock parts, or do they have to order everything when needed? Do they have a full service shop for warranty repairs? How do they treat prospective customers?

I have had 3 LS tractors (including a Montana) and if you do your scheduled maintenance, give it a nice covered home (if you can) and treat it as if its a small tractor and not a bulldozer they should serve you well.

We did a lift test with our TYM 2515R. The loader is everything TYM advertises.
