Hi All,

Just sold a T233 to a guy up here. He would not look at anything else as he bought a TYM 580 over 4 years ago and now has over 6000hrs on it without a hiccup. He loves it and thus came here. His 580 is in Ca. but he inherited property here and needed a small one for snow removal. Easiest sale I have ever made.

So, what model do you have, how long have you had it and how many hours do you have on it?

TYM T450 purchased in May, 2007. First service at 50 hours was in May this year. Since then, I've had to do my own haying - so now have over 250 hours. Only problems:

1: Headlights are USELESS. I made some brackets and installed some auto spotlights on my ROPS.
2: Fuel Filter glass bowl leaked diesel on the floor of the barn. I had to buy a special wrench to get it tight enough to stop leaking. Then I took it in for service - and afterward - leaked again. Had to retighen it.
3: Need to pay SPECIAL attention to keeping the radiator/screen clean. Lots of dust/pollen/stuff in the air, so it cloggs up easily - and the T450 gets HOT!.

Nice machine.

Do the ones with the Mahindra decals count? 713hrs and very happy. The Daedong(Kioti) engine is the difference from the TYM branded ones. (I think)

330 HST, just about to do my 250 hr oil change.

Only major issue is my FEL bolts came loose at about 120 hrs (from dealer). Badly tweaked the frame mounting brackets. TYM said it was my fault for not checking my bolts, but replaced them anyway.

I also got a mixed/transition year on the loader, was a little funky. Got a burgandy tractor with red loader, and the loader did not have the expected bobcat style quick-tach. TYM also provided the quicktach for me, though not without a bit of fight.

Had some sloppiness in the accelerators. Anyone know how to adjust those?

Overall - seems to be a workhorse.

I received my 330HST a couple months ago and have ≈20 hrs on it. This is my first tractor so I am learning. I like it overall but have a few issues-both related to the BT400 backhoe.
First is the hydraulic remote valve. It tends to slip out of position resulting in lost power on the BackHoe. My dealer recommended I add a metal hook to keep it in place. That sounds a bit kludgy. What do you think?

Second and more serious is where the BackHoe bucket attaches and rotates the 'wrist' I'll call it, there is a LOT of play in the joints. I can move the bucket up-down by hand 4-6 inches. The dealer is going to look at it.
I also plan to add a tooth bar to the FEL and Wallenstein thumb to the backhoe. A Wallenstein 6inch chipper is also on order.
We'll see how those mods improve function.

I got my 330 G TLB(BT300) less than a month ago and only have 11 hours on it. I like it so far!

Joanna a hook will help out a lot for the Hydro. Lever. Mine came with a bungee from lever to brake pedal, that lasted a who one time use and then I added a hook using a panel bolt above the lever. Just make sure if you here the relief valve whining to switch the hoses going to back hoe. I had to switch mine due to it being set up to go down. You will like the thumb I have moved a couple of good size rocks with mine and can稚 wait till I cut up a tree using it to hold the log. I got a tooth bar also but took mine off for snow removal, won稚 be able to play with that till spring sometime.
Good luck with the BT400 problem and have fun,
Grut

I have a T233 (well a rebranded Montana T2334)
200 hrs on mine. Running great.
The only problem I've had on mine was a short in the wiring which was covered under warranty. Well that and the fact that my local dealer dropped the Montana line :( bummer.

I've got a T400 used about 2 years ago now and it has 2623.6 hrs on it now. Looks and runs like a new one, Can't go wrong with one of these WORKHORSES!:D

T903 here with 30 hrs. A little jumpy on auto 4wheel starts and had a pto selector lever rattle that I fixed with rubber hose. Otherwise, seems solid. Will know more when we work it in the hay fields this summer. Sure was nice and warm in the cab this winter though.

Bought a slightly used (65 hrs) 2006T-400 in June 2011. Tractor now has 112 hrs and is still going strong

I have been around farms and tractors most of my life and I am very impressed with this machine, Handles nicely and seems to have plenty of power.
I have 13 acres, about 70 percent forested, and have used the tractor
for light logging and road building. Also used it for snow removal this past winter.
