New SM Series?

[MJZ]

Any insight, experience or opinion as to where the new SM series fits in with the YM and YT models? I can't find dimensions on the 37hp (?) SM model fits in.

They're re-badged TYM machines; while I would assume there are some mechanical differences, I would assume the dimensions are similar to the parent machines.

Now you just need to know what the parent model is. I'd presume the T394.

It's a common practice in the compact tractor world; TYM is actually the OEM for a few brands. Yanmar themselves built tractors for John Deere a number of years back, and provides engines for many manufacturers.

Hard to tell the players without a scorecard. I just bout a New Holland 25S. Sales, service and parts support comes from New Holland, the tractor was manufactured by LS for New Holland, and it has a Yanmar engine.

Deutz engines. Interesting.

Yanmar has a "strict quality control system". I guess that doesn't bode well IMO for the current TYM products which aren't strict now. Probably like the Chinese FarmPro Jinma 2420 tractor where I had to always take both SAE and Metric wrenches over to work on it. The bolts were not strict quality control.
