First Tractor

[Roady]

Hello everyone. I've been lurking here for several years admiring all the great equipment everyone owns. Last week I was able to finally purchase my first tractor. I figured it was time to buy when I became such a good customer at the rental shop, they started sending me Christmas cards.

I was almost ready to purchase a John Deere 2320 when I came across the thread here by toolnut about his TYM. The dealer he purchased from is only 15 miles from me. After a test drive and some more reading, I knew that was the one I wanted. I ordered it with the FEL and backhoe. (the BH will be installed next week). I only have about 7 hours on it now but WOW. This thing is a little powerhouse.

I have a hard time sleeping because I'm constantly thinking up new projects for it. I look forward to talking with everyone in the future.

Looking good. Now for some battle scars!

I have the same tractor, only difference is mine is green.

Little over 30 hours on it now with no problems. I love it.

I saw one up close and was impressed. They've out-Kubota'd Kubota.

Looks like a fun machine! Owning and being very satisfied with a TYM-made product myself, I'm sure you will enjoy it!

Good machines... new in this country under their own brand name. Kubota and now CAT diesel engines in one model.

My Mahindra 4110 is made by TYM.

Thanks for the replies all. So far it's been a great machine. The difficult thing is talking the wife into letting me buy attachments when you just spent that much money on a tractor. They just don't understand.

Nice machine Roady.

Very very nice Roady. Makes me very jealous. I would appreciate it if you could take a picture of it next to a half ton pickup so I could get a bearing of the size of it. Enjoy the new toy.
