Ownership likes and dislikes

T255:

The only "issue", front end loader has no proportional control, with a bucket it is acceptable but with forks it can be a nightmare.
rear remote does acting " weird" from time to time.

anoying issues:
bucket and forks are not 100% straight anymore, and i'm not a hard user at all !! But the buket and forks are still good enough to use. Pretty sure other people would say, "they are still straight" ;-)
Engine Oil dipstick accessibility is terrible
gearbox/ hydraulic breather rubber siphon thing is sheap

For the rest so far, nice and fun little tractor

The hydraulic pump has an output of 5-gpm, at redline of the engine. The smallest loader control valves I have found are rated for 11-gpm. So, they are twice as large as the SCUTs need, but I haven't found a loader valve that is rated for 5 to 7-gpm yet. So, you have full pump flow at about a third of the loader valve movements. Couple this with the small cylinders on the FEL, and it takes a very fine hand to feather the valve. I've considered adding restriction valves in the hydraulics to the FEL to make them less responsive and slow them down.

Yes, i'm looking into another control valve or adjustable flow control valves as well.

My T224 lists the "implement pump capacity" at 4.17GPM and "steering pump capacity" at 2.11GPM, yet a max total flow at 6.97. Must be that last 0.69gpm is for the 3-pt or is it Korean math.. lol

Here's the loader valve on my T224. I couldn't find anything on it w/ a search on the Google machine..

Love my T25. I've got just shy of 150 hours on it without so much as a hiccup. Based on what I've read on this thread, maybe I've been lucky, or maybe the T25 is just a better built model in the TYM lineup.

I have had nothing but perfect performance from my 4820H

Sometimes you have to dig into the details of why someone is upset.

I spent about 8 years of my life doing tech support for computers. When people have a problem, they often have a solution in their head and don't want to hear about other solutions. This tends to make them unhappy if their preference isn't met. Sometimes people have a minor cosmetic issue and want a new machine. Sometimes they misuse something and want it covered under warranty. Even when the company steps up and replaces the whole machine, the same operator error exists.

I have had my T574H for 2 years. Never has it given me a lick of trouble.

I purchased a 2024 T754C in June 2025 and only have about 120 hours on it so far.
I don't like that there are no gauges except RPM, There is an aftermarket gauge you can add for coolant temp (and some other functions) which I do plan to add soon.
It has been used to pull a 15' batwing, 6' box blade, 8' rock rake, used it with a EA Wicked 60" grapple and it has done everything easily!
The A/C did have some issues keeping the cab cool with the extreme high temps in July/August. The dealer checked it twice under warranty and didn't find anything wrong, so I am considering getting the windows tinted.
The other thing they didn't do well is the thumb screws to remove the screen in front of the radiator for cleaning is right under a hose and is a pain to remove. My LS MT240 has it at the upper corner and is super easy to use.
Otherwise I have been very happy with the T754C and it doesn't seem to use a lot of diesel for a 74hp tractor

TYM was #2 on my list second only to the Yanmar iHMT transmission of the YT347 we ended up getting. I would buy a TYM though.

Though I will say, when I see a negative post or someone coming on this site complaining about an issue with a TYM, I see a few guys follow them with a comment about them abusing their tractor.
Some nonsense about them never having an issue with their TYM when they probably don't even put 100hrs a year on theirs, and have less than 300hrs on it. Put 1000 trouble free hours on it before you come on here acting like you've discovered the gold mine that no one else has.

I find this to be an interesting phenomenon that I don't see with all tractor makes.

Update on mine, I got it back just in time for snow since I wrecked some hardly on the shelf parts when I hit that t-post in September. My dealer fixed me right up as soon as the parts came into the US. And I have since put another 12h with no further issues (Paid out of pocket since I had to own this damage). I barely have 6 months powertrain left anyway and have never needed it.

I could never recommend TYM after having 2 T574 tractors. The first required 20 visits to my farm by the dealer without ever fixing the problem. All of that within the first 90 hours on the clock. The second is having the same problem twice in the first 100 hours. The TYM rep has never contacted me ever which I find grossly irresponsible. As of now, the dealer emailed his territory manager and followed up with a phone call to him about my situation and never any response or reply. On top of this, TYM has a big facility very close to me which should be no problem for a rep to visit me, but they do nothing. For me, TYM treats their customers terribly.

My first tractor bought sept 2025 is a T25 w backhoe, open station. As of Dec31,2025=47 hrs

Price was fair. Spent more than I wanted. But that’s on me.

Dealer is local (we have 2 in :30 min drive).

The dealer I bought from is a mechanic first, TYM dealer 2nd. Haven’t needed a mechanic yet, so I can’t speak to that skill set.

Good: decent size, comfortable, mostly fuel efficient, appropriate for our sub 2 acre property, has done everything I have asked so far.

I still giggle when I scoop gavel or dirt and move it becuase I know how long it would take to do with a shovel.

Bad: note: neither dealer has overhead.
1) Can’t drop in to buy something. Not even a hat or t-shirt (something Deere capitalizes on).
2) It seems that my front loader has shifted. (But not everything on every piece of equipment is L-R mirrored. Sometimes clearances, patterns, plates, or bolts or whatever is designed for something else and we just don’t know about it).
3) Loader sides have bent. I have only moved compost, wood mulch, 5/8 minus gravel and loam/sand. But for the loader to deflect about 1/4in already, seems odd.
4) The left side step/platform is poorly designed and flexes when you step up or put all weight to step down. It’s also not supported underneath. (I’m 240# and it flexes at least 1inch). It will eventually break. That’s a horrible design error.
5) No factory side steps available (that I have found).
6) Parts… LOL non existent. There are dealers w online “sales”, but good luck with that. Their web based user interface is garbage. (Keno, Diamond, Reed & Reed, Jacks, all bad interfaces). So just hope your dealer has parts or has better luck getting any parts you want/need (mine can’t even get the over head 3 lights that TYM shows in the sales brochure). Try to find the block heater Kit P/N: 1181950000
7) Gas tank filler location. complaints ad nauseam
8) With the front brush guard bars, you cannot remove the hood. Again, bad design. But we all know engineers aren’t end users.

The above times aren’t game stoppers. And not necessarily “bad”. Just observations after 40 hours.
