82 orders says all that needs to be said about Stellantis, not EV’s as a whole. They made a “muscle car” that won’t do a burnout…

How does this do at shedding snow? Does it stick to the wood? I’d love to have a wider blade, but this seems like it could be an inexpensive solution.

My dad got one of these when I was in high school; I think in preparation for me to go to college. That thing sure beat using a shovel. We’ve had a bunch more snow this year than usual. We have 3/4 mile of gravel road to clear and I use a back blade on float. No extra weight. It’s done a good...

We took the plunge into EV ownership at the end of December. The DPF filter clogged on our 2014 VW Jetta TDI and it’s an unnecessarily expensive fix even to do it yourself. We decided to move into something a bit newer and after running numbers, a Tesla just made sense. Everyone I know who...

Here’s another good word for the 5 series JD. I’m not familiar with the newer ones, but I spend quite a lot of time on an older 5525. Runs a 17’ batwing well, pulls big hay wagons easily, very stable, and over 5000 hours now with no major issues. My only complaint is the gearing. Seems to be...

I have a similar driveway to maintain to my property. I bought a TYM 5520ch back in April. I would have loved a Kubota or Deere, but the prices were outrageous. Mahindra seemed like a lot of tractor for the money, but fit and finish wasn’t as good. LS did seem decent when I looked, I just...

We use tactacam reveal to watch the driveway. They’re cellular and require a subscription, but it’s not terribly expensive. It takes about 4 minutes to get to the house from where we keep them and we get the pictures in about half that time. Certainly nice to have the warning when anyone is...

Most of my farm work is done with a Jeep tj and a home built trailer, but I recently bought my late father in law’s 96 powerstoke dually. I sure enjoy that 7.3 rumble.

I only have about 3 hours in it, but it’s not bad. A phone held up to your ear or on a Bluetooth headset would probably be fine, but on speaker in the cup holder wouldn’t likely work. Radio at a reasonable volume is fine up until you have to bring the revs up very high. 540 pto speed may be a...

I sure enjoy this hobby. Planning to add to it yearly.

Delivered this afternoon. Unfortunately I had too much scheduled at work and didn’t have much time to play. I’m really looking forward to getting a lot done with this thing.

For the majority of my adult life, we've lived places that needed little to no outdoor work; apartments, townhouses, etc. Now that we finally have some land I'm back to doing things like cutting grass, that I haven't really done since I moved out of Dad's house. I've been putting my headphones...

That looks like it did an amazing job! What are you planting there?

We have no ocean breeze here in Western PA, so I guess it is good I got the cab!

Well, I pulled the trigger this weekend on a TYM 5520Ch. I will post pictures whenever I take delivery this week; I know the rules. I bought from the farther TYM Dealer, but they're second generation and they also sell McCormick and a ton of other attachments. I don't expect them to go...

I sure appreciate all these responses! What a great forum! I went and checked out the Kiotis and Mahindras last Friday. I’m comfortable crossing Kioti off the list, but I was impressed by the Mahindra. Fit and finish wasn’t great, but it’s a lot of tractor for the money and seems to be simple...

This is a real concern. That said, I feel TYM bought Branson for the Kukje engine. The TYM 554 runs a Yanmar which makes me suspect both may be discontinued for a later combined, but new, tractor in this horsepower range.

By the time I realistically get into making hay, I'll have two sons at hay throwing age. Round bales aren't super high priority. My biggest thought with the cab is honestly health and safety. I'm prone to burning in the sun and would prefer to have my ears and lungs fully functioning as I age...

That's a good looking tractor and one heck of a tiller!

I will certainly check out the Kioti's. My dad has a BX Kubota and I almost went that route a few months back, but I'm certain I would have been disappointed in the capabilities of a tractor that small with my property. I live out in the boonies, so not much of anything is closer than 45...

I have yet to see anyone with a cab express regret about getting it. But I do wonder if stepping up in size to a comparably priced, but open station Branson 5835 might be a worthwhile tradeoff. I’m hoping I’ve overestimated my needs with the 5520, but don’t want to shortly replace this tractor...

Clearing the road with the JD 5525 back in January was rather chilly.

My mother-in-law, our only neighbor, still has quite a few cows and has my FIL’s JD 5525 and a diesel Ford 4000. Neither have a front end loader, but she also still has a 65hp skid steer. Since we moved in I’ve been borrowing those to get things done over here as needed, but I’d prefer not to...

Hi All, I’ve lurked around on this forum for quite some time, but the realistic possibility of being a tractor owner within the month prompted me to join and get some insight, and hopefully reinforce my thought process. We moved onto 26 acres nearly three years ago now, but officially bought...
