new 35hp model coming

[huckie]

I went to my locall dealer today and got talking about the t330 and branson 29 and 35 he had when out of the blue he tells me that soon tym will be releasing a 35 hp no frills model based of one they used to build for mahindra. Does any one have any info, release date, or truth.

Id have to assume it will be built on the 2810 chassis as they made it for Mahindra

The hydro model was on a 2810 chassis, but the gear model was on the same chassis as the 4110.

Those pictures make me wounder why (1) the dealer has never called me back and (2) why no one on this website that my be in the know have not responded. I do not feel the one's pictured are new by any means, the direction that I believe tym is interested in going are not reflected in an ebay sale.

The ET350 was an experiment with a tractor completely built in China. (Not just assembled) To the best of my knowledge it is a good deal for someone who wants a Chinese tractor. I do not believe they are importing any more of them.

I the photos you can see the color of the loader arms does not match the hood. Personally, I thenk you can't beat the quality and value of a south Korean machine, and the Chinese stuff just isn't ready for the U.S. market. We're all used to Deeres, New Hollands, Kubotas, etc., and the performance/fit/finish/longevity/features that come with those brands. The Korean tractors (TYM, Kioti, Montana - am I missing any?) all have it, the Chinese just don't and are priced accordingly.

I see this Chinese-made TYM tractor is still being offered for sale...

NEW TYM ET350 35HP 4X4 TRACTOR W/LOADER - (item 220121379987 end time Aug-11-07 10:59:08 PDT)

Is this the last of a failed experiment? Or the first of a brand new wave? Has anyone here bought one of these ET350s?

As the very happy owner of a high-quality, TYM-made Mahindra 4110, I cannot understand why TYM's leadership would want to cut their throats by offering a cheap, down-scale, Chinese tractor in the USA rather than continue to offer and build reputation on the very high quality South Korean products we know and love.

Is this any way to compete with the likes of Kubota???

I remember when they cried like cut cats just because I was selling TYM on the same lot as Chinese tractors. Now this.....These guys are hilarious.

So what *is* the real story on these ET350s? Does anyone know? Are they here to stay? Or is this just the last of those that were imported?

Has TYM decided to stay Korean-only? Or can we expect to see them bringing in more Chinese product?

Was this a true TYM-designed/spec'd tractor that was manufacturered in China? Or was this a Chinese tractor simply dressed up to look like a TYM?

And the bottom line: Are they really worth $10K (with an FEL) and will they be supported in the future (for warranty and replacement parts) by all the new TYM dealerships across the country?
