Comments from TYM 700 owners

[Jerry/MT]

There's a Montana dealer about 45 miles away from me. I stopped in there on my way to the dr the other day to check his price on a NEW 7074. He quoted me $34,000 with financing and $32,000 without. Plus a $1,000 cash back rebate from Montana.

Did that price include the loader?

If Montana and TYM are similarly equipped and the same price, the TYM is a better buy because of the 5 year warranty. Montana's are only warranteed for 3 years, I believe.

I thought the TYM's used a European loader.

Possible, I am going off the loaders page on the site. Check out the first couple lines of this link. The official TYM Tractors Web site

Here is some other good info on the loaders right here on TBN from a dealer. Looks like Taesung makes a quality loader for alot of other tractors including Kubota and Kioti.

I was looking for some info on the engines that TYM uses and I found the another TYM web site. I think it was their corporate site. It was interesting to note that on their products page, the T700 did not appear. All the rest of their product line was there and the T700 was conspicuous by it's absence. (In the US website, the T700 is in the ine up but it's kinda' placed in a funny location away from the T903 and the T103.)
That, in combination with their alledged price markdowns for the T700, says to me this model is not long for the marketplace.
Does anyone know if there is a 70 hp tractor on the drawing boards at TYM, like a T703???? it doesn't make sense to skip from a 60hp tractor T603 up to the 90Hp T903. That's a big gap in TYM's "family plan".

I think we're both right!

TYM Front Loaders From Taesung

Taesung Loaders are manufactured in Korea. The LT200 loader was specifically designed and fabricated for the K2 series TYM models and providing the ability to perform an almost endless number of lifting and loading tasks. These loaders have a curved boom which complements the K2 perfectly. They are also quick detach and available with a wide range of attachments.

TYM Front Loaders From Trac-Lift

TRAC-LIFT Font Loaders are manufactured in Europe by Humpolec, a major loader manufacturer who supplies loaders for many of the top brands of tractor. All Trac-Lift loaders are designed and fabricated specifically for each TYM model to provide maximum performance and stability. All loaders are quick detach and are available with a wide range of attachments. These loaders are commercial strength to compliment the strength of the TYM tractor.

Good find! I personally really like the loader design on my T273 and wondered why it looked so much like the one on the Kioti.

Yes that included the loader.

To answer the Loader Question

TYM uses Taesung Loaders now for the T700 Loader and all of its models. It is a Self Leveling Loader with a SS Hitch on the front for the T700.

Some of the older models could have a Trac Lift Humpolec Loader from Europe. It is a very good loader. Very few but their were also some T700's that had Ameriquip Loaders. It is also a good Loader.

All T700's are very good buys right now.

What's an "SS" hitch?

 

[Tym Man]

Universal skid steer Hitch

Sorry for being vague. All Loaders ever sold on these tractors had this hitch.

Willing to address the question about the T700 being a discontinued model in the near future?

 

[mytym]

sorry i did not get back to the person who asked for info on my backhoe (wallenstein) it is a three point mount no subframe mount at the time was available for this size machine. if iwas a contractor using the backhoe all the time i would have been sceptical but for small farm use i have had no problems and it does a good job digging footers and all around use. i have been travelling their website is Welcome - Wallenstein and some one asked if the john deere engine was turbo charged and yes it is

 

[jwcinpk]

I would be very weary of a 3pt hitch backhoe with no subframe. Too many instances of broken tractors. Is this backhoe available thru TYM or just one you added on your own?

I've heard for about 2 years that the T700 was being discontinued, but have never gotten a time frame from anyone in the know.

 

[mytym]

i again did a lot of home work before buying. first as i said you could not buy a sub frame mount for this tractor by any company. i had my dealer call about three point hitch mounts from the tym company and was told if i installed a tym autherized backhoe the warranty would be honored in the event something happened they were alot more than the one i bought so after examining the rear axle and three point mount and knowing this is a real heavy duty tractor for those that own one you know how ruged these are i have used this tractor with a road grader,back hoe and other implements for almost 2 years easy to change out by my self and never a problem. i to was real leary of the three point mount but after having used it i have no regrets. does any one out there know of a back hoe with sub frame mount that will fit this tractor??? i would like to know myself.

 

[Jerry/MT]

I asked my question on the long term status of the T700 on the TYM website about two weeks ago and finally got a response. Apparently the T700 will be updated in the second half of '09 with new sheetmetal and most likely a Cat engine. It sounds like it's will remain the 70 hp machine in TYM's family plan for some time.

I don't see your review anywhere. I certainly would like to know more about the facts in your case before I would consider your post having any merit.

I just posted today,may not be up yet. I can show documentation from the dealer,broken gear box trans gears,electronics for 3point lift,trans gears and bearings,front axle gears and bearings, all between 420 and 488 hrs.

That sounds awful. Is TYM taking care of these issues under warranty? I don' think there are many T700 owners on this board, but the few there are I don't remember having this kind of luck with their machines.
