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.

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.
