Buying Advice TYM Tractors T394

[JME81]

I've been researching all brands for a while now and started to settle on a Kioti but then came across some TYM's locally that price was a very suprising. $24k for a cab and 37HP and bucket.

Are these good tractors? I've never heard of them, looks like they are manufactured in S. Korea like Kioto. What is the body made of? Cast iron or cast aluminum?

HI! JME81, these are cast iron. TYM has been around for 60 years, tractor brands under TYM include TYM, many Mahindra models, Rural King and Branson under the Kukje machinery which is owned by TYM since 2017. There are many satisfied owners that has TYM, some have gripes....but you find that with most brands.

TYM has been a major tractor manufacturer for many years.
They are well respected in the industry.
Maybe not quite as well respected as Kubota, or John Deere, but still,...well respected.
No cast aluminum that I am aware of.

My concern is parts and service. I plan to do the basic stuff- is it easy to order parts? My state has NO dealers, just RV type dealerships selling them.

Probably best option for fastest availability for parts if you do not have any immedate dealers close to you, maybe call Smith Enterprises TYM Tractors — Smith's Enterprise
Else this T394 uses a proven Yanmar engine, so you only need dealers for warranty.

I have 2 tym built mahindra tractors .one is the same as the 394 you are looking at . It has about 400 hrs on it and it has been a great tractor . The other one is a 2810 with over 1100 hrs and is also a good trouble free tractor. I would have no problem buying a new tym,
