TYM T330 HST- Fantastic!

[Bates]

Hi, all. I'm new to the forum. I just took delivery of my new TYM 330 HST with a TL200 FEL. Great tractor! The Kubota 3 cyl Diesel runs strong. I use the tractor for loader duty on our 5 acre horse property and to mow about 5 acres of fields with a 60" 3 point finish mower.
Except for the Kubota engine, the tractor is basically the same as a 10 series Mahindra (TYM builds tractors for Mahindra and Scorpion).

I test drove a New Holland TC-30. The New Holland was more money and it seemed like a much lighter duty machine. The TYM weighs about 1,000 lbs more than the TC-30.
I know that a TC-30 will always hold it's resale value, but I'm not in the business of buying and reselling tractors. I needed a heavy, hard working tractor in the 30 HP range and the TYM fits my needs perfectly.

Pics on the way! (As soon as I scan them /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif)

I have heard great things about the TYM's. Would you mind sharing what you paid for the TYM and how much they wanted for the TC-30? (Hydro or gear TC?)
Happy Tractoring

Chipper,
$16,425 with the TL200 loader from C&S Tractors in Laramie, Wy.(~$1600 less than the dealer wanted for the HST NH).

IMO, there is no comparison between the 2 machines. The amount of cast iron in the TYM is amazing. As I said before, there is 1,000 lb difference in weight compared to the NH; a huge difference when comparing 30 HP class tractors.

The TYM is an absolute brute. The Kubota engine is great, too.

TYM builds Mahindra's 10 series.
The tractor is really a rebadged Mihindra 2810 or a 3510. TYM uses Kubota engines, though. The HST is an Eaton unit, I believe.

I'm having pics developed now. I'll scan them as soon as I pick them up!

Last pic.

Sitting in the shop looking kind of dusty after a hard days work. You can see the finish mower behind it. The first day, I used it to move 12 yards of concrete rubble, move 8 yards of soil into the horse barn and finish mow 5+ acres.
The second day, I used it to break the top layer off of an abandoned septic ditch. I used some of the concrete rubble to fill the old pit in. This tractor is heavy and loves to do loader work. The harder you work the Kubota engine, the better it runs.

Bates-

It's been five years since you posted about your excitement getting your new TYM 330 HST. As it turns out, I'm considering buying a used one of the same vintage (maroon, not RED).

How has the unit held up? Are you happy with it? What kind of use has it had over the least 5 years? Any issues with parts or service? Would you buy it again if you had it to do over?

The one I'm looking at has about 150 hours (!) and hasn't had much use obviously. Looks like about $10K will do the deal.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
