CLANGING in the front diff of brand new T494....what the heck

[aesanders]

LS might be a good compromise. They make some of the masseys and new hollands and case machines as I understand it. We have a huge new holland/case dealer, I should call and see if they service LS lol

LS makes machines for New Holland and Case. Massey compacts and subcompacts are 100 Iseki. Engines made in Japan, and all M models made in Japan. They are still less by quite a bit than a comparable Kubota or Deere, but more than an LS or TYM. Fairly comparable to Kioti though. Best value that I see is still TYM, and I would venture to guess that they will get their parts situation squared away at some point. I think they are growing faster than they can really handle at the moment.

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

Kioti has a better dealer presence here

What’s the emissions on kioti like?

What’s the emissions on kioti like?

Same as everyone else. All ECM controlled

 

[thoner7]

Well what about DEF or particulate filters and all that crud

 

[Torvy]

Yes. The ECM controls that stuff. If the DPF fails, it shuts down.

They all have DPF. They are all hobbled by an ECM, except TYM.

Well what about DEF or particulate filters and all that crud

No DEF under 75HP on any off road equipment. Not to be confused with DPF.

still no parts. the legal path is very slow...probably even slower than the parts...and it cost money. TYM knows this, so they don't give a crap.

Well another month has passed for TYM to get their 'stuff' together...

Any Update on your dads tractor being fixed, replaced, or refunded?

Obviously Hoping for some Good news for dad.
