TYM T474 3rd function kit options

[DonRybak]

A couple years ago I bought the factory kit for my RK37 which was built bu TYM. The kit even had a TYM part number on it. As ptsg said the install was more or less hassle free due to the hydraulic lines being precut to correct lengths. Very neat install. Mine is a cabbed model so removing the paneling to get to the hydraulic joystick was a pain. You didn't mention what year your tractor is but mine is a 2018 and at that time they didn't come with a two button joystick already installed as they do now. If your tractor doesn't already have the 2 button joystick make sure the kit you get comes with one. If you have a cabbed model and have to replace the joystick that's the biggest hassle of all. The TYM kit even came with a new FEL cross member that the diverter valve mounts on so there not even any drilling involved for mounting hardware. Very happy with mine.

I’ve been browsing for the past couple of weeks on 3rd function kits for the 474 and can’t seem to get an answer on if the universal kits sold (they’re about half the cost of the tractor specific ones im seeing) will work on the tractor. Any input would be great and small businesses to recommend buying them from also. Thanks

I know this is an old thread but am curious what you ended up going with for a 3rd function kit on your T474. I bought my tractor about 6 months ago, used with 21 hours and is 2023. Unfortunately this was my first tractor purchasing experience and I was a complete noob. Therefore when it was sold to me they said it came with 3rd function, which I believed due to the factory installed joystick buttons. Once I got the tractor home I looked everything over to get somewhat familiar with my new machine. As you all know here, the tractor DOES NOT come with any 3rd function components other than the cheap buttons installed on the joystick. I think this marketing scam should warrant some sort of compensation straight from TYM, as well as the dealer that sold it. I certainly should've done my own research but I also think the same for the dealer who was selling the tractor
