TYM 474H Cab or Kioti DK4220SE HST cab?

[DakotaP]

I think I’ve narrowed it down to two tractors that I’m pretty set on. I have 7 acres of land that we are clearing a large portion of and developing and going to be building two homes, a shop and a pond. Possibly some paid bush hogging services on the side for extra cash. I live in south Louisiana and it’s over 100 degree heat index for months, so I want a cab, I don’t want to be miserable. Plan is a bush hog and grapple initially. I’m between a TYM 474 and a Kioti DK4220SE. Both hydrostatic, both cabs. I sat in the Kioti and liked the ergonomics. And sat on an open station t474 and it was nice as well.

If they were the same price which one are you taking? And if one was $3500 less would that be enough to sway you one way or another?

I’d buy another Kioti in a minute, that’s about all I can contribute.

I’m impressed with the robustness of the support structure on the Kioti loader. There’s a lot of gusseting and a large diagonal support beam going from the cradle down to the frame. There are also supports going to the rear axle to spread the load.

The DK has a 71in wheelbase which is a nice size. The great thing is you can get up to 60hp in that chassis.

The Kioti also has that lever on the back to raise/lower the three point and has one rear remote standard.

Strong tractors.

Don’t know about the TYM.
