Comparison TYM 394 VS KIOTI CK4010

I use a 6' brush hog and an auger often. Will the extra 4 or so hours make a noticeable difference?

By auger I assume you are talking post hole digger ?
I run mine at idle or just above a lot of the time- the HP for post hole digger will make no difference.
A 6' brush mower could make a difference, depending on hills, what you are mowing and the speeds you mow.

When I was tractor shopping, I also looked at the two brands that you are currently looking at. The TYM dealer informed me that once his stock of TYM tractors were sold, he would not be selling anymore TYM tractors until TYM got the parts/warranty issues straightened out. He kept telling me how it was a constant fight with them. Now keep in mind, this was 3 years ago. Things may have changed. FYI

This too was a concern of mine, so I talked to a few tym dealers and they had nothing bad to say. In fact at a tym/ls dealer which has been selling both and plenty of them said he preferred dealing with tym, that he can get tym parts next day and ls takes a few. So the parts/service I'm confident in both I'm looking at. My hesitation is kiotis extra hour vs tym's more standard options.

I don't know why you are asking for input. It sounds like you are pretty well set on TYM. I say go for it and report back to us in 5 years. Hopefully, people don't go TY WHO?

 

[hilltop Haven Farm]

Input or experience with either of these. I like both equal. Just happens one have the bells and whistles and the other more horsepower.

If you have a good solid TYM dealer I think it is a no brainer. Dealer network seems to be TYM’s biggest issue. Now that they bought Branson tractors they can figure dealers out. I believe both Branson and TYM will coexist. But I think they will share a platform shortly, but who knows. But rural king is also selling TYM tractors with their name in them.

Why do you thinks it's a no brainer?

Of those two brands, I would go with Kioti. Better dealer network. More satisfied customers.
