T554 tym

[Trillium Farm]

After your first 50 hours then every 500 hours after that. So most average user
put about 100 hours yearly. 5 years to change the filters. I can deal with that.

Let me tell you that no filter with a paper element will last 5 years. The filter IS the weak part of a motor lubrication and after 5-7 months the paper element will be brittle.
If you keep an oil filter on beyond that time use a fleece filter. Those will last for 12 to 18 months. I know of no filter that will protect your engine for 5 years

wow ...i think you should go back to your dealer and show him that manual.must be a misprint..if you follow that manual the tractor wont last..the filters will be on bypass most of the time especially with an hst trans...like you see from our manuals they say something totally different

I would have to agree. Give the dealer a call and let TYM have the chance to make it right and get you the proper manual if they can't explain the reason for the discrepancy.

 

[buckeroo]

You can contact TYM-USA and they will confirm its.

I do agree with you at first. I own kubota and deere and
All the manual recommend 200 hrs interval. But with the new
tier 4 engine commond rail system new design. Its also mention
less maintenance. Like my new Jetta TDI dealer oil change
every ten thousand miles interval.

 

[ihuntbear]

Well like I said I have the same tractor 2015 tier 4 t554 tym and my manual doesn't say what yours says...I'd bring it to your dealer to have a look at it...I'd say a misprint

 

[buckeroo]

Call my dealer service department today and
ask about the hrs service interval
they told me its every 100 hours for oil
and fuel filter. 300 for hydro and hst.so its is a
misprint. Then I call TYM-USA service department
And explain the discrepancy. They said the have
to check with R&D department to confirm which is
the correct versions of its. Will let you know.they also
Will send me the right version of the manual when
they get the correct answer from R&D department.

I own the t503 and got tired of feeling like someone was kicking me in the butt when I went across a dip. I used a 10" inner tube that I had laying around and rolled it up, taped a 1/2" foam cushion loosely around it shoved it under the seat with the Schrader valve pointing out of the front, released the tension on the seat spring, then just aired it up to my liking. Amazing how much difference the ride is now

 

[ihuntbear]

fixed the seat..I fabricated an air bag from a semi cab mount under the seat with a shrader valve to pump it up with a compresser...works like a charm....only cost 50.00 bucks..... one cab air bag 25.00 ....2 pieces of 3/16 x 12" x 12 " flat plate 8.00....2 nuts for the ends of air bag and fittings to pump it up..now only need to find a small air compresser that plugs into aux power to fill it....works great

Re: T554 tym, seat modifications

May we se some pictures of your 2 seat modifications? They do sound like a real "butt-saver" and something well worth building. :thumbsup:Thanks!

I too am looking for the aftermarket filters the OP mentioned.
