TYM T234

[dinoedwards]

Hesitate to buy a China made tractor but can't afford anything else.
Found this TYM T234 with 285hrs 3rd function, no headlights asking $8500
Kioti, Kubota, even 10-15 yrs old, way out of my price range for home owner to put 20-30hrs a yr on.

TYM is South Korean, like Kioti and LS; do you have a dealer nearby? TYM has expanded a lot over the last few years, basically doubling their footprint in the United States after acquiring Kukje/Branson, and long term support should be promising. If not, there is always the internet for parts!

You generally don't hear bad things about Mitsubishi diesels either.

I'd be asking how they broke the grille and light assembly. Probably something that could be avoided in the future with a brush guard and grille guard insert. Even if you don't replace the grille it would be best to have some protection over the gaping maw.

It looks really clean, outside of the glaring obvious.

[EDIT]: I'm wondering if something fell on the hood...

Thanks, didn't know S. Korean made that's a lot better!

We have that tractor. Strong machine. I can’t see the three point arms in the pic?

 

[dinoedwards]

Yeah, he does not have arms and won't tell me about front damage.

No 3 point arms?! Won't tell you about the damage?

Does the fellow even want to sell the damn thing?

I can't believe I didn't notice, I'm slipping...

Is this a sub compact? Is it close to Bobcat 2025 frame wise?

It's a little smaller, think Kioti CX or Kubota B sized.
