TYM is actually a heavy equipment manufacturer in Korea that does re-badge some of their machines for other companies. Some of the Centuries used Cummins diesels. I think one or more of their newer tractors actually have CAT engines. They are highly regarded machines, but dealer network is there short coming. Here is a link to their website: TYM-America

coasterez, I don't think my post disagrees with your post, but TYM is ALSO a small tractor manufacturer. I'm not saying they don't build heavy machines, but the context of the question was related to tractors. I gave the tractor answer.

Rolls Royce builds airplane engines, but if we were on a car forum and someone asked who is RR, would you say they are "actually an aircraft engine manufacturer that builds jet engines. . . " Probably not. In the correct context there can be several answers. I just tried to stay on topic.

Bob,

I wasn't really disagreeing with you. Just wanted to make sure the guy knew that TYM was a well established, heavy machinery kind of company.

There are 2 loaders from Kubota that fit that tractor. The weak and crappy 513 and the strong and powerful 723. Can you guess which one I would buy? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Thanks for the comments along the way here, Bob. The weak and crappy was quoted. The fella said to add around 1000 bucks to get it up to the 713 with QA. I was reading other comments about the bucket type itself. (material handler vs heavy duty) I'll have to inquire about that as well.

The difference in price between the 3830GST and the 3130FST is a bit over 3k.

MF 1533 Super Shuttle with 1525 loader @ 17,900 & 5 years @ 3.9
Pros; joystick location, 3 point hookup

K L3130 FST with 723 loader & QA @ 18,700 & 5 years @ 4.99
Pros; QA loader, 3 point hookup, comfort
Cons; joystick location

JD 3320 with HD loader (1600 lb) @ 19,700 & 5 years @ ?.?? (3 year @ 0%)
Pros; zilch
Cons; not telescopic swing arms.

I'm leaning toward the Massey. Price and financing are better, dealer is closer. The FIL has given his stamp of approval on all 3, but leans toward Green. (He wishes his 4710 had the telescopic arms.)

Any final thoughts?

I'd get the Massey, You can get all the positives of the Kubota plus the nicer loader control. I have tried both out and find the Massey a little more comfortable.

These two tractors are really close comparisions of each other. When Massey came out with this lineup they really tried to match up with Kubota's designs and even up them here and there. Price being equal I would lean towards the Massey, but you are getting an even better price.

I agree that the Massey would be the better choice. The Iseki engine is very good and this line of models is, to me, much better than some of the others they offer.
