Emailed the regional ls rep this afternoon. Told em if the ball does not get rolling that i will be getting out side sources involved. See what he has to say. If i dont hear from him mid day i will call HQ. Had enough

Oil pan leaks good enough to be dripping on the crossmember

It leaves a 6in spot on the floor under the machine.. when they say loose 2 qt of oil they are talking about consomption not leaking. Hst pump should not be leaking any way as it is a preasurized system. If its leaking it has a failor some where

Talked to dealer yesturday. They claim they cant find the hst leak, even though i showed them when i dropped it off. So i sent them pictures of it and where it is. The oil pan leak they are "investigting" not much to investigate. Its leaking on the back side of the oil pan near the rear main...

They claim the tractor got into the shop on friday. Hopfully this week i will find some thing out. I have a gut feeling the hst pump is on back order and they wont have a time frame. But we will see

Makes no difference when the OE cant supply parts to the dealer to begin witb

I put a bore scope down in the bell housing. It looked like the input shaft seal to me

Nope

Rep got ahold of the dealer today. Dealer told them the tractor had only been there for 2weeks and that it was on the board to go in this week.. i said thats funny i just spoke with the girl who runs the counter on friday, she said there so backed up that they dont know when they can get it in...

So to go along with how alot of these dealers are fly by night and or have no business selling tractors. There is a TYM dealer not far from me that does not even have a service department. I stopped there to get filters when i had my tym but they did not have filters in stock for the unit i had...

Calling regional rep tomorrow. Will see what he has to say. Its been a month, if they cant get some thing figured out soon i will be pushing for a buy back. Not going to be making payments on something thats sitting at the dealer for months. If it was a car or truck i could already push the...

Mmmm more like saved 4g... but thats besides the point. Shouldnt matter where you buy it. Any dealer that operates the way you say it should wont last long. Poof there goes another no name dealer. Also its being smart to shop for the best deal. A moron wouldnt shop for the best deal. More than...

Korean buily gm vehicles have had a host of issues, the plants has lost money since the mid 2010's and didnt they shutdown in 2022? Not sure if they got back up n going yet or not

I would skip this whole issue by just buying the ford from the get go haha. But for conversation sake, depending on how long it took and how the dealer and gm handled it. Yes i would

First a tractor is not more complicated than a car or truck. Second ive never had any issues with my older equipment. Pretty sad a cheap chinese excavator has out lasted 2 of these new tractors. The problems arnt from abuse, have not had them long enough to abuse them.3rd i have been nothing but...

they have an online form. I cant find any requirements that you need to have. Kubota, massey, deere and even kioti require the dealer to meat certain criteria

I dont expect a machine to be perfect. I went through the entire thing when i got it and checked bolts, hose routing , wire routing ect. Moved hoses and wires so they wouldnt rub, checked all fluids and topped off. Did the same with the tym when i got it. I am just having a hard time getting...

Your right. How dare i

Called dealer. Nope still untouched, they said we under stand if you take it some where else.. well there is only 2 ls dealers within 100mils of me in kentucky soooo im kinda stuck here. Yeah i did buy the tractor out of state, the closer dealer blew me off completely. This one said bring it...

The oil pan i was living with, decided i would fix it down the road. The hst pump leaking was a different story. Thats what drove me to take it in. Yes equipment leaks but at 50hrs? Come on now. 500hr maybe.

An akm would be my last choice to start with. But that being said. People choose the others over the american made ones is due to the others hold their value more. Not that they run better than american made akm's

Not the case, it was bought out by the koreans long before i went there.I knew this when i took the job. I could have cared less. All i care about it what they pay and the bennies. But after getting in there, its a huge difference from the old company i worked for that was 100% american made. Im...

So im not just some dumb wood chuck trying to generalize korean manufacturing. I have been in the fork lift business for the last 18yr of my life. From welding frames and uprights, doing full tear downs and repairs, fixturing and designing ect. That said i left my old company and moved half way...

No im po'd that ive bought 2 korean tractors and they both have been junk.

All the same sub par junk

Because most dealers for these korean tractors are fly by night dealers. Who are here today gone tomorrow. Cant compare what you are trying to compare

Ls corporate has been easy to get ahold of. Tym was a night mare. That said 3 weeks and tractor still hasnt been looked at

The weld quality on the tym was down right pitifull. Cold lap, under cut, craters, spatter, wire stubs. Thing was just down right terrible.

Called dealer. 2 weeks and they havnt even looked at it. I bought the unit out of state, this dealer was the only one i could find to work on it. The other wouldnt touch it, there work shop is an old barn you can look through. For giggles i called the largest ls dealer in the US and gave them...

The ls 225s is a sub compact. Like a tym t25 or a kubota bx23. If you look at a ls mt225e lift height is 92in at the pins and the mt 226e is 94.2in at the pins. Its not internet rumor, its a known issue with the tyms.

Haha what? The lift hight for the mt 226 is identical to the kubota l2502. The kioti ck2620 is 2in high and the tym 2515 is about 8in higher. And yes the tym 2515 class of tractors are notorius for bending cylinders. Most likly due to trying to have the highest lift height and lift capacity...

Again depends what modles you are comparing

I am not sure what ls units you were looking at. But from my own experiance ls and kioti are pretty much equal. The ls mt 226he i have is direct comparison to the kioti ck2620. The ls weighs about 400lbs more, loader lift is the same, kioti does lift a hair higher. The kiotis i had looked at all...

I have pretty much made up my mind, that when i get my tractor back. I will be putting it up for sale, will end up buying a used name brand unit. I made out ok when i traded my tym in, paid 23g for it and put 75hr on it and did alot with the backhoe. I got 20g for trade in, for the amount i had...

Not trying to lump them in as a second world country. But they are behind. While yes they can produce good product, dont be supprised if the company is influenced by western countires and practices. China can build some good stuff aswell. Most of the time when that happens its because its a...

Its not racial, it no different than saying or believing russian built cars/trucks are equipment are subpar. Also i wouldnt be to firm on saying kias and hyundais are better than american autos. If you get one of thoe to last more than 100k miles your doing good. They use such cheap metal for...

Im guessing on the worst. The worst being there isnt one in stock at the warehouse

Depends on how it looks when i get it back.

Different dealers. I know they all have issues. Just seems the korean built ones have more of them.

IT would say on the vin tag some wheres

I cant find any thing out there that says this.

Tym took it over yes. While it kind of is a cummins design. Its not a cummins and gets thrown around to much. Parts are hard to get for a kukje aswell

I really like the tractor dont get me wrong. I just dont know if i will beable to get past the fact of having such a big issue so early on

So my ls 226 is comparable to the kubota l2502. My tractor weighs 3000lb with out loader or balast, loader is rated for 1900lb at 60in and 1500lb at full height of 94in. But the kioti ck2620 weighs around 2600-2700 lbs and is rated for the same as the ls lift wise. Being lighter you would think...

Massey is japan aswell. Its their culture, they have no life. Every thing is work work work and they have alot of pride. Koreans do alot of out sourcing, parts come from china vietnam ect. Plus they dont care as much. Remember when daewoo cars came to america? They were pure junk, same goes for...

This guy gets it

The point is, it appears that korean built tractors are not built as well as kubota, deere, yanmar, massey. Seeing how i am 2 for 2 with them. Do i bite the bullet and spend the extra money up front for a so called name brand in hopes of having better results or do i try another korean built one...

Your completely missing the point of my post

Im not stuck on loader lift but it is a big factor, same with ergo's i cant stand a loader mounted valve. The korean tractors do spec more and offer more per dollar, but at what cost? Reliability and parts support, is it worth it? Thats what i am trying to figure out

Nope, at 9 hours the tach on the tym started going wacky and reading all over the place. At around 30hr the fuel tank split. The stops for the bucket on the loader frame were welded about 3/16" off from each other. So when you would dump the bucket the whole loader frame would twist. Coolant...

Same class im in now. Ls mt 226, so kubota l2502 massey 1825e kioti ck2620

So im 2 for 2 on korea tractors being lemons. Tym first and had issues right at 9hr, wanted a bigger tractor and the tym put a bad taste in my mouth. So i went with ls the second time around, this one made it 49hr before going back to the dealer. The ls will have to be split and i expect for it...

I had the gas has version of this tractor. Good units. Id just take the glow plugs out, you will know quick if they have swollen before you break a tip off

Yeah i emailed ls about it

So i kinda shot myself in the foot. I bought the tractor from smiths because they gave me an awsome trade in on my t25 and the best price i could find on this ls. They are 8 hours away so taking it back for warranty wasnt reasonable. The closest dealer blew me off because i didnt buy it from...

I understand that. But its like buying a new truck and having to have the motor replaced. Its just never the same as factory. Always somthing missing or wires routed wrong

Just got done looking in the bell housing with a bore scope. 99%sure its the input shaft seal

Going to have to this winter. Problem is, the tractor will never be the same as factory once its been monkeyed with

I really love my ls 226he have 48hr on it so far. But i have found that the oil pan is weeping oil. But have decided its not worth the down time for repair yet. Moved some dirt today and noticed oil on the floor. Got to looking and its coming from the weep hole in the bell housing. Took the...

Your paying for the name , dealer support and better quality control. I tride a TYM for a short while, they are designed well but the quality , fit and finish , dealer support was poor. Looked at kioti and ls, decided on ls . They seem to have the best quality of the korean brands, they make...

Paid 19,900 for my mt226he

Look at the new ls mt 226. I just got mine in march and love it. Its the updated version of the 225 and has a higher lift capacity. The 226 and kitoti have the same capacities. I feel the quality is better on the ls after looking at both

Was bush hogging today ended stalling the tractor out 3 times. Ran blades into mounds of dirt and never broke the shear pin, assuming because it never hit hard. Using plane 1/2 bolts with no head markings, same ones ive used and broke before. That being said how durable are these electric over...

Cleaned every thing up a week ago and oil is back, even after snugging oil pan bolts up a bit. There are a few hydraulic lines and unions in that area so i will clean again and see if a line is leaking, if it is it would have to be spraying up. 99% sure its the oil pan gasket. As stated by...

My ls 226 does not lift quite as much or as high as the tym 2515 . The ls and kioti 2620 are neck and neck. That said tym tends to have the highest lift capacity and height. But they seem to have more issues with bent cylinders than every body else

What made me really want to upgrade was to get away from TYM. While i was doing it i decided to go up in frame size. More operator room , more stable, better lift and feels all around more like a real tractor. The subs and large subcompacts kinds feel like toys. I have yet to need more than...

I really love my ls 226he. I went from a tym t25 to it. Tym customer support and quality really is not good at all. I was torn between the ls 226 and the kioti 2620 . Ls won on price and fit and finish

I have a single tine sub soiler. Twice now when using it , it has cammed over the top link. Causing it to get jammed up in the pto cover and bending the cover to hell. Ive never had this happen before with implements

Took the loader sub frame off after church this morning so i could get to the rear bolts on the pan. The rear center one was finger tight, was able to get near half a turn on it. Fingers crossed that will solve it. But normally when an rtv seal is broken thats it and gotta replace it

Its not really an ls issue as its a mitsubisi motor. Must have been a bad prep job when they put the pan on.

Have a new mt226 with 40 hours. Looking it over and i noticed the rear of the oil pan is seeping. Checked in the bell housing and its not the rear main. I checked a few pan bolts to see if they were loose and nope. Trying to decide if im going to leave it or send it in for warranty. Little...

Id skip mahindra and tym, most dealers for them dont last long and dont have good service.. loving my new ls, looked had at kioti the ls dealer gave me the better trade on my tym t25. If wanting to spend big bucks look at yanmar over deere and kubota

My rural king tiller has a slipper clutch on it. Before using it i loosened it up and burnished the clutch surfaces. Tightened it back to where it was set and put a line on it with a paint pen. Tilling food plots today breaking fresh ground i hit some goobers. Enough to bog the tractor and make...

Far from usless.

I can tell you first hand that the weld quality on my agrotek 1ton is far better than the welds on the tym tractor i just traded in. Most problems i found was a few loose bolts. I am sockingly supprised how decent built it is

Traded my tym t25 in for a ls mt226he. Says its supposed to lift 1900lbs to half lift, bucket is 66in wide. I am assuming in the 8 cuft range. Yesturday i was cleaning up muck that i clean out from my pond, a nice mixture of wet clay and vegitation. There were times i had to back out of the pile...

The little 1ton i bought is suprisingly well built. At 5grand it was worth trying. If i was looking for a 3ton and up, i would buy used name brand.

Agt industrial

I love my 1ton. Biggest thing that holds it back is the hydraulics are stronger than what the machine weighs. I need to add a counter weight

Not apples to apples. But i just picked up one of those chinese 1tons to replace my tractors backhoe. I should have done it from the get go. It dosnt have quite the power of the backhoe, but it makes up for it in terms of speed and ease of use

This one came with one from the factory, it seems alot of the newer ones have upgrades from the factory.

Soooo. The new ls 226he will be here next week with a grapple bucket, tym t25 is going bye bye... picked up a agt qh12 on friday, thing is a hoot and i should have gotten on of those from the get go

Think one them mini's would dig this? Took about 45min today

When i stated before that electronics were over hyped , i wasnt meaning emissions. Since the mid 90's to around 2007 most diesel were computor controlled and were reliable. Once they mandated emissions thats when things went south

I will be storing mine in a pole barn with dirt floor, so it wont be near as easy

Ive pretty much settled on the ls, not a huge fan of the gauge cluster or the electronic govener. But the fit and finish sells it for me. What im trying to decide now is backhoe or not. I was doing research today on the backhoe, and its a pain to take on and off. Need to remove lower 3 point...

Yes

It can happen with any brand yes.. but its way to common with tym

Thing with those mini excavators is that they are so simple. Not alot to go wrong

I need some thing to dig with at home all the time. I just spent 2hours today doing backhoe work and clean up

Fit and finish is less than to be desired, as a welder my stomache turns every time i look at the welds on them. Product and parts support is terrible. Yes they have best in class lift, but bent cylinders are the norm. Im looking at the 25hp class to beat emissions, the ls is still non ecm, but...

From some more digging. Those little 1 tons like said earlyer have a bucket break out force between 1300-1500lbs... booo

Just looked and they have it listed at 3,600lb bucket force. Tym dosnt list numbers. Thats pretty strong for a compact tractor. Ive been switching alot, as i have been brush hogging , tilling, and reclaiming my pasture.

Kind of in a hurry, because the dealer gave me one heck of a trade in value on my tractor

I went and looked at a ls mt225 and a 2515 today aswell. Dealer didnt have the new mt226 but gave me an idea. Ls imo is better built with better fit and finish, welds are much better. Not a fan of the guage cluster or the electronic govener. The tym is a tad bigger, poorer quality and i cant...

The new backhoe for the mt226 has a 8.5ft digging depth and over 3000lbs of bucket force. The little minis max out just under 6ft and as mentioned will have a little less power. I have never needed to dig over 6ft as of yet. Just a real pain taking the backhoe on and off even if it only takes...

Ive been watching videos, i think the 1ton would be strong enough for what i need. The backhoe on my t25 has done what ive needed. Tym dosnt list the specs on digging force though

I am only working about 5 acers of it, rest of it is wooded

Last october i picked up a new tym t25 with backhoe. Paid 23,500 for it, ive realized i should have gone with a bigger framed tractor. I just got quoted for a new ls mt226he with loader for 19,999 and they will give me 20g for my tractor. Im thought about getting the backhoe for that aswell but...

Currently have a tym t25, been thinking of selling and getting somthing a little bigger and with better dealer and parts support. I had multiple issues with the t25 when i got it home and it was brutal to get parts and work done on it. Was looking at the kioti ck2620 seems like a nice unit...

It came today. Says made in india on the box, seems well built and hate to say it. It looks better than the kingkutters i looked at

Well i ordered one, i tride buying a usa made one tarter to be exact. They are made 20 minutes from me, but they wont sell to the public direct. Shipping to a "dealer" was 100bucks. Dealers are 20 minutes away from where they are made aswell.

Looking to pick up a sub soiler. I came acrossed titan attachmemts. I like how you can adjust the working depth via the shank. I figure it made in china, any on have experiance with them...

Some one has bee drinking the EV kool aid

Yeah they are almost a ton. Im sure it is well over a ton with the loader. I also have my tires loaded. Lifts and handles it fine. If i was mowing more than my 2acer field once a year, i think a 4 footer would be the better option to save on machine wear

I think of the korean brands it is kioti as the better then tym and ls as 3rd. Kioti has a better dealer network and parts support over the other 2

I kinda like the plastic rear fenders on the tym. They will have flex to them, and they wont rot out. Same with the fuel tank. Im not sure where the kioti gets the extra weight as it is smaller.

Well got it back together today. Left the output bearings alone, they had a little grumble to them but will tackle that battle when they fail. New input bearings and seal, what i found odd was after reassembly i had two tight spots 180° from each other. Either the gear isnt flat and or the...

Went and picked up a 4ft tiller from rural king today. Rk brand made by king kutter, its basicly the king kutter standard series painted red with rk stickers on it. Buying experiance was terrible, they only have one guy who handles the tractor and implements. He so happens to be off on fridays...

My backhoe was $4,800. Well worth the price and its paid for its self in less than 3 months. No its not a mini or a skid steer but it sure beats a shovel. Ive dug out some knarly stumps with it

The t25 has a 2 range trans. I looked at both the t25 and the cx2510 when i was buying. Ended up with the t25 with backhoe for 23,400 otd

The t25 frame is double plated vs single on the 264.

The king kutters on rural king claim they are usa made.. any truth to this?

Think ive decided on getting a tiller for my garden and food plots. Was looking at used ones and for the price you might aswell buy new.. looking at new 4ft-5ft tillers in the $1600-2200 range, seems that most of them are made in china. How are these things holding up? Or am i better off waiting...

Timken 450492

Bearings was an easy find. 40x80x18 mm .. 4 pack on amazon for 22bucks... seal is proving to be difficult.. found one on howes equipment.. 54 bucks... ya right

So long story short, i decided to keep it and fix it up. Machine seems to handle it ok and the sturdyness of the deck made it seem worth while.. ordered a new blade pan,bolts and blades. Took a blade to tsc to try and match one up the best i can. I dont even know if they were the correct blades...

I rulled the disc out as i think my plots will be too small to use it. 40x40 garden and a couple 50x100 food plots. By time i get them working and cutting right , it will be time to lift them and turn around

So still trying to figure out what im going to do. Disc harrow is out. Plow and culltivator and some drags, or tiller. My step dad has a tiller says he hasnt used it but once on his food plot. Used it to break it up then just uses a cultivator since then. Have a hard time justifying spending...

I tiller will break virgin ground?

Whats the odds of this being worth while? https://www.agrisupply.com/14-in-single-moldboard-plow-3-point-hitch/p/89826/

Going to be a half acer food plot. And a 40x40 garden

I looked in a 200ft circle. Nothing. It didnt come out the front as im sure it would have hit the tractor. That sucker is gone

It broke the blade right on the other side of the weld. Scary stuff. No is the question to buy a new blade pan and blades? Or part ways with it and sell for parts. Only have 260 into it, but i could fix it for 200-250

It was at idle which is 1400rpm. I may have to try turning idle down some

I didnt weld it, some farmer must have done it years ago. Im fine, i looked high and low for the rest of the blade i couldnt find it. I should have checked the underside of the mower better before i started using it. I broke one bolt just engaging the pto. This hit gave the tractor a little bog...

Well was doing some brush hogging this morning. Hit a tree root and broke a blade, some one had broken it before and welded it. Didnt break the shear pin which worries me some

What grade shear bolt should i be using? I picked up grade 5 bolts and sheared one already just engaging the pto. Tractor idles at 1400rpm, and it slams in when i engage the electronic clutch. May have to try and lower the idle rpm

The walls on this one are about 8in or so. Id say the unit weighs 500-600lbs. The stuff i knocked down today was about 4ft tall, and wet as it was raining. Yes a 4ft cutter would be best, but they seem to be hard to come by used. Hard to justify spending 1300 on a new one when i only have to mow...

They list it as a sub compact. If it is its a large sub compact. Bigger than all the other scut i looked at. I used it today to test. 3pt lifts it just fine, front tires dont float. The brush i cut didnt slow or bog the motor at all. So it may be ok. Need to finish going through the bush hog...

i have a tym t25 and i just picked up an old 5ft brush hog tonight. Thing is heavy built, deck is way thicker than the new entry units at tsc and rural king. That being said first i need to make sure the 3pt will lift it and the tractor handles it well. Second is if i have enough motor and if...

Mine had 3 hours on it when it was delivered. Sounds like as others have said , it was a demo machine.

So i went back through this thread. This tractor was delivered with 8hrs on it? Was it the same one you looked at when you bought it?

Tym must be getting better at there customer service. Last time i had to deal with tym hq i couldnt get ahold of them. I just called them about a question with my backhoe and i got right through to some one. Sent them pics via email, now lets see how long it takes for a reply

I get why you want the kukje motor for the non ecm mechanical motor. Yes they are based on old cummins engine designs , but they arnt a cummins. They seem to have an issue with cracking heads and trying to find a head is almost impossible. People have tride to have there heads repaired with so...

So we tear it down at our usa hq factory, then we send it to the dealer that has the warranty claim. Then we as the manufactor are left with the assembly that we had to tear down for parts as we are the ones that cant supply the part as its self. If tym its self wont do that then i can see the...

Also i work for a fork lift company ,who's hq is in korea. We run into parts avalibilty issues on a weekly bases. So if there are warranty claims and we dont have the parts in stock in the US, we will tear down what ever assembly it may be to get that part for the customer. I get it ,but at the...

Got ya, i dont know where your located but im in kentucky, and picked up my tym in TN. I had issues with mine right off the bat, nothing as extreme as yours. Bad display gauge leaking fuel tank, dealer had it fixed and delivered in a week. That being said, it truly is impossible to get ahold of...

Kioti?

In the booklet for my t25 it says to use the heal of the bucket for back dragging to prevent cylinder damage. Hard to get used to doing after running real equipment and using the cutting edge. I agree getting ahold of tym is a pita

I forgot to mention, the field where the food plot is going has never been touched and has not been brushhogged in many years. Has alot of saplings in it and vegitation.

I was thinking the disc to break everg thing up after plowing. I have seen chainlink fence used before but never gave it a thought

Id love to have a tiller but cant afford one right now. Trying to come up with a plan for about 1grand..

My soil is mostly clay. Not a terrible amount of rock

Morning all. I just purchased a tym t25 to complament my 47 acers i just bought. All my previous tractor experiance has been just for fire wood and bushhogging. I want to put in a food plot and garden. My first thought was a 1 bottom plow and a disc. Looking for used ones im going to be about...

hello every one, new to the forum. i recently picked up a ih b414, thing would hardly run when i went and looked at it ended up having to come along it onto trailer. but did see it run and see the hydraulics worked. got it home filed and adjusted points and drove it off trailer ran decent but...
