My snowblower

Lucky Dog · Dec 27, 2024

I got a new tractor this year, TYM 4820, and finally got my old Ber-Vac front mount blower hooked up to it.
Blowing snow with a heated cab is a game changer.

Can you adjust the shoot and rotation from the cab as well? I know some are mechanical with a lever.
You have enough flow on your front hydraulics to run it or does it run off rear pto?
Blower in the front...so nice.
Congrats

The chute adjustment is manual, the chute rotation is hydraulic and controlled with the loader stick.
The blower runs off the rear PTO.
Since getting it installed, I have not gotten any new snow. LOL

Great tractor, and I am also thinking about such a model. What are the impressions from it?

So far it seems like a good tractor. I run a 7' brush hog, a 6' flail mower and now this 6' blower. It seems to run all that just fine.
I find the cab a little tight while getting in and out, but once seated I have plenty of room.

My main complaint is the hydraulics do not have enough flow in my opinion. I cannot perform two functions with the loader at the same time, lift curl or run the third function while lifting or curling.
I also wiish the rear remotes were expandable, two is not enough and I'll probably add some after market remotes this summer. Speaking of remotes, one of them was a detent style, this was not usefull for anything I had. The manufacturer does not sell a kit or part to convert the detent to spring to center so I had to cobble up my own system to convert it.

Overall for what it is, I'm pretty happy with it.
