TYM builds one the best tractor for the dollar I’ve seen and I’ve been around the AG industry for 43yrs. This tractor has a Kukje engine and they are phenomenal. I’d choose one of these over most anything else in their class.! With TYM buying them I just hope this merger/consolidation doesn’t hinder Kukje’s great build quality! They’ve actually made tractors for Deere and engines for Cummins! TYM offers 4 models (4&5 series one being the 574) that I’m aware of with Kukje engines that still have a mechanical Bosch injection pump with a completely separate dpf system. Engines will run regardless. Any of you hear heads like myself can read between the lines here I’d hope!
I have checked out TYM at the local dealer. It really is in the same class as Deere and Kubota. TYM is hungry and will be for several years. As someone who bleeds green that is a huge compliment. Stupid people are stupid people. We are all embassadors for many products whether or not we know it. Buy a Harley t-shirt. It looks like a Nascar car. Keep up the great work. Thank you for your great videos (all of your channels) but mostly thank you for your nearly 26 years of service for this great country (it still is great)
Hey Hank, glad you love your TYM. I have the RK37S / TYM and I love it too. The lack of inventory during the plandemic gave me plenty of time to research a lot of different brands. Not gonna lie coming from a rural ag setting it was harder to buy something that wasn't from one of the usual suspects, but after a lot of comparing of all things the TYM just flat out won it for me. I haven't had not one regret yet and I can't say I see any chance of one either. Love your videos, Keep on putting out the great content brother.
Viewing from Texas. Appreciate your sharing your experience, Hank. Thank you for you integrity, because most homesteaders don't have time to run around to dealers reviewing a bunch of tractors or equipment. Blessings to you and your family in Jesus's Name ☝🙏🙌. Stay safe, healthy, discerning, filled with Peace and success. 👊
Thanks for another great video. Thanks for going over the tractor with us. This tractor has done well for you Hank. Thanks for showing the features. Take care and be safe. Thanks for everything. The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.
Hank, I'm glad to see you selling tractors! I was so afraid you were going to get hurt starting them Detroits without checking the rack first! I've had a couple Detroits run away and it's hard to believe how far some of them parts will fly!
That sounds like people who wants everything handed to them without having to work to for it I enjoy everything you put out on here God bless you and your family
Way to Go ---Hank. You are such a "Kool,& Very Fine Gentle MAN. I would Realy "like" to have You as a Neighbor! You are the "Whole truth & nothing but the Truth". Planing on getting a BRANSON-TYM Tractor ( have a Kubota MX5200 shuttle shift, Massey-Ferguson 1736m power-shuttle, & a Massey-Ferguson 1020[ needs replaced] ). Liked the "light-weight " reditition of what the capabilities of these "Good" TYM T 574 tractors are used for. Happy next 3000-plus hours. Thank you Sir for the Excelent vidio and happy safe tractoring. Best wishes with all your endeavours & God Bless you.
I wouldn't own any new tractor other than tym kioti or ls I have owned every big brand you can think of from deere to case international, the last 3 I bought was a tym a kioti and a little ls economy tractor. And all 3 of the last ones I have bought have been better machine than the domestic brands or the Kubota I have had ,I have 1500 hours on the kioti 400 hours on the tym and 825 hours on the little ls tractor and other than services have not spent one dime in breakdowns, can't say the same for the deere or the Kubota. I don't ever regret buying my deere but I sure do the Kubota it is to loud and to light for a 100hp tractor to pull plows with, I grow commercial potatoes and vegetables and have 200 head of cattle, the a/c broke on Kubota the first year I had it and never worked a full month the whole 8. Years I owned it , my deere bucket bent like foil in 2 hours moving compost but no other issues . Tym kioti and ls no issues at all ,happy with them
I made a frame of 2in square tube to lift the seat up as I found it to low. 6/2 in height here and bent the loader lever back to me by a few inches. Love the comfort of the cab of the TYM
Man, you sure right about that bucket being light and it's only a matter of time before mine starts smiling at me. Hopefully I can get a cutting edge bolted on before that happens. My mirrors will not stay tight and so they're useless and are coming off today. I do wish mine (494) had more built in weight but I knew what it was before I bought the thing AND I wish the loader functions would mover faster, but then again I had a reasonable suspicion of how it was going to perform before I bought it. So far it's done a decent job for me. Thanks for the video.
If it starts to smile, just find a tree you don't like, raise the bucket curled all the way back where you can see it at cab level and press until no more smile. Unsmiled mine about 4 times when I hit something unexpected.
330 hours here on 574. Zero problems that were not my fault (I bent my loader cylinders doing something I should have known better). Former equipment operator who has abused at lot of stuff. I don't baby the 574 and it's toughness still impresses me.
Awesome video.... Hey Hank I know you do most of your work at your place so probably don't haul it as much as I will be doing. You should make a video on tie down points. I tried getting some aftermarket tie down bolt on brackets for the T574 but can't find any other than for the orange and greens. Thank you
Agree about the cheesy grill guard. In addition, the air filtration for the engine is poor at best. Anytime it’s hot and dusty mine overheats 2-3 times a day which sets my production back at least 45 minutes each time. I need to let it cool down a bit before removing the filters and blowing all the accumulated crud off them. It’s hot and dusty here in the Midwest for about 4 months of the year. Only other gripes about mine are cab noise - having a radio in the cab is ludicrous. You can’t hear it without having headphones plugged in and the Kenwood that came in mine has no output port for headphones. So I wear earphones with noise cancellation some of the time or ear plugs. A final gripe is the plastic fuel tank. It’s located too close to the ground where it’s too easy for a branch to poke a hole in it and it’s easy to cross thread the cap. Other than these misgivings I have no complaints. It’s been a great and reliable tractor and a deal for the price.
I have been lovin' the TYM videos and would love to buy. They just are not in Houston, it's all green and orange and nothing else to be found. There was blue here, but they left and went on, my 1st tractor. I am a big dealer support fellow and I would hate to drive many miles for that, but it sounds like that support is not too often needed, anyway, great vid as always.............jb
I really gave TYM a hard look when i made my purchase Tractor purchase. I really thought they make a great tractor. I ended up going with Ls mainly do to row croping features
Actually, a chain slightly longer than the width of your bucket and a bottle jack or hiy-lift jack can quickly reshape the bottom edge of your bucket simply by putting the grab hooks at the outer edges of the place where you would bolt that tooth bar with the jack in the center of the bucket with the chain running under the jacks bottom. Perhaps a block of wood if you're concerned about the jack causing a sharp bend instead of a gentle correction.
Seems like a nice tractor, but the test that I want to see is the one only time can tell, I've got an old Massey 85, think its a 1959 model, and god only knows how many hours are on that old dog. And I can go down right now, and give it a snort of ether and it will fire up and go to work, all these electronics and the emissions stuff, well, I have my doubts. Will some young kid in 50 or 60 years be able to buy your tractor from your estate sale and start his own farmstead? Who knows, I doubt I'll be around to see it.
Nice review Hank. I believe your review to be honest seems like an ok tractor but let’s see a review at 3,000 hours and multiple users in some more harsh conditions honestly that’s the kind of review that would convince me to purchase a tym. Honestly all tractors should be good at 300 hours I’ve got several tractors,excavators and a bulldozer and other equipment and all are good at 300 hours it’s when they get up in the thousands there true colors come out. . You mentioned come back in 10,000 hours but honestly the average homeowner puts around 200 to 300 hours a year 5 years could be around 1000 hours so yeah hours do matter when you are spending that kind of money for any brand!! I just believe 300 hour reviews are just a little premature because like I said before 300 hours is nothing or should be nothing just food for thought and just my opinion thanks and have a good day!
I think maybe you mixed up what I was saying bc I think I said exactly what you are saying. At least that was my intentions. I don't think I'll ever see 10,000 hours bc I only put a few hundred hours a year on it. Like most compact tractor owners, we will put 100-300 hours a year on a tractor. So I think we're saying the same thing. Lol. I'm not a row crop farmer so we're not putting 8-12 hours a day on it. Thanks for watching and making the comment👍
I have 1600 hours in two years in my ls mt573. No issues Plan to change my oil very 150 hours and we’ll see how long she goes. I like all the Korean tractors. They need to re oraganize a few things in the cabs and they should be tits
Hank if I'm not mistaken Daniel Arms is not sponsored by TYM. He purchased that TYM tractor after his sponsored contract was out with the Kubota tractor.
Are the TYM's current versions of Montana 5740C and LS 57hp tractors? I've ran a Montana 5740C with Koyker FEL for many years putting up hay and feeding cattle and have had only a couple minor issues. If they still use a Mitsubishi diesel in them, they will serve you well for moderate duty tasks.
No, it just means the engine is not working hard and not making soot. That's not a bad thing, but you will find if the engine has to work hard for, say 10 or 12 hours non-stop, heavy going pulling ground engaging impliments, it will cough up some more soot to be collected in the ceramic exhaust filter, then it will "do a burn", as they say.
Hank, thanks for the 300 hr review. I'm buying the exact same tractor in about 4 weeks. The dealer already has it, just a timing thing for me. I'm getting it with a 3rd function valve and loaded rear tires. I've already got a leveling box that I ordered 12 weeks ago. What Hydraulic links did you get? I defiantly want both of them as I'll be maintaining a 1200' gravel drive way and maintaining a 16 acre farm. We raise chickens, pigs and in 2 years well be adding steers. I'm also getting a grapple, and 48" forks. I'm getting some IBC totes from my brother-in-law that has them, he farm in southern IN. We plan on using them to load up fire wood in as we heat with fire wood, and another reason I decided on the T574 because it will be able to lift a full basket.
The hydraulic top link I got from Agri supply and the side link I ordered from fitrite hydraulics. I'll get that in December/January timeframe. Good luck. It's a nice tractor
@@hhamilton1970 Thanks for the quick reply. Do you remember what size top link you got? Not having the tractor yet I don't know the size of the current top link. They come is many sizes 2"x8", 3"x8", 1.5"x10" etc. Same for the side link = what size are you getting? I'd like to get mine ordered now so I've got them when I get the tractor.
How do you feel about the plastic fenders? I kinda like the Branson TYM tractors because of the steel fenders and cast iron rear axle and differential. What do you think?
I have a 494. Bent the bucket the first day. TYM really needs to step it up with the buckets. The bucket is not covered by the warranty. Go figure. I bought a bucket for a 100 hp skid steer. I don’t have enough tractor to bend it. Mine has a little over 300 hours and no regen either.
As a heavy equipment mechanic , the best machine mechanically for the money in this category seems to be the LS mt573. I been looking at several other tractors and it seems to be on top.. I will say ls doesn't have very good mechanics in my area though
@@bearkawiboy6246 3 remotes In the rear, better transmission with more range and creeper, better heavier duty axles with Planetary front axle(used in industrial equipment), a lot more tech . I'm at work so I don't have time to think of everything or to go into details . Still doesn't mean the t574 is a bad machine
Hey Hank. I really enjoy your videos. I am replacing my Kubota L3301 with a tractor with a larger frame size. I am looking at a 5520R as my local dealer has a great price on them. I am a little afraid that TYM is going to discontinue the Branson models. What is your opinion should I get the 574 or do you think I will be safe with the 5520? I have 2 Deere tractors we use to bail hay but I need a tractor with no cab for clipping around trees. Deere and Kubota have gotten out of my price range and I have seen good things about TYM so I want to give them a shot. I will be pulling a hay rake and clipping mostly with my update.
I personally would go with the 574. They both are good tractors, but you have a valid concern. How much longer will they continue the legacy 5520? That's the million dollar question. I have 385 hours on my 574 now and absolutely zero issues.
How do you like the Ind. Tires vs Ag Tires ? I've been doing allot of reading/Viewing on this model. I think this model has more to offer than the 474 cab.
Hi Hank, I ran into an issue with the TYM574. I'm trying to top off my radiator fluid, but no one carries the HD Expert Extreme brand coolant the tractor came with and my dealer just picked it up from another dealer location, so they aren't able to provide the coolant either. What brand and type of radiator coolant are you using in your TYM574? When I called the dealer/distributor who added the tractor fluids and asked them about a compatible fluid, they said I would need to drain the coolant and start fresh. It is frustrating since the tractor only has 15hrs on it. So far I have seen dealers who are not very good.
Great video Hank. I understand the bucket being being light, but consider other brands. I mean green tractors have a similar built bucket with less lift cap. on the same size tractor lol. In Regards to the haters.....they drank the green coolaide😅
Huh? Who told you that? I haven't heard anything about that and I read and hear a lot of TYM news. It would be interesting to hear where you got that information from. Thanks
Byron, my problem was that TYM was directing me to their English language Korean site. Took me a while to figure it out. The Series 3 tractors there are somewhat different. There are more transmission choices and lots more standard hydraulic features.
What is the top speed on the 57 4 in medium range? Wondering how fast I can go with a hay rake. Everyone alway refers to the tractor as a five seventy four. It makes more sense to call it a fifty seven four. Fifty seven horse power.
That range should do the trick and be plenty fast for raking and tedding hay. Are these tractors easy to turn up the horsepower on? It sounds like some series have a mechanical engine vs. ecu.
I assume you're asking if you can dump/curl and lift at the same time. If so, the answer is yes, if you hold it in a sweet spot about the 11 o'clock position.
@@hhamilton1970 I just realized your also in Florida from the video you sent. I need what you got for the property I got last year in Citra Fl. Thanks this helped a lot.
Does this have all the diesel emissions junk or do they have a different system than others above 25 hp? Looking at Kubota LX2610/20 or L2602 for that reason. Less than 2 acres, might be cheaper to rent I guess. Not as fun.
The Korean tractors are all mechanically sound machines and the truth be told are as capable as any other. Having owned one, my only complaint is the in cab ergonomics. For an example, the dashboard and steering wheel are way too low and control placement needs some attention. These do not effect the capability of the tractor only my preference for comfortable operations.
I'm not sure. I never had to order any. But I assume my dealer will take care of me if I need to order anything. He's always been able to get anything I need for other equipment I have.
is that made in china??? just bustin balls, i have a 2022 t494 (same thing with no turbo) mine came with a super beefy draw bar, clevis style. i did put a half inch by 6 inch cutting edge on my bucket. huge improvement. with tires and a box blade that is 7000 lbs. zero issues with mine. its the most simple modern motor you can buy. quiet and smooth. pats easy change was a huge improvement also. hydraulic top link also. who else runs hard lines to the loader? even them there KU-BOATERS dont have that.
TYM builds one the best tractor for the dollar I’ve seen and I’ve been around the AG industry for 43yrs. This tractor has a Kukje engine and they are phenomenal. I’d choose one of these over most anything else in their class.! With TYM buying them I just hope this merger/consolidation doesn’t hinder Kukje’s great build quality! They’ve actually made tractors for Deere and engines for Cummins! TYM offers 4 models (4&5 series one being the 574) that I’m aware of with Kukje engines that still have a mechanical Bosch injection pump with a completely separate dpf system. Engines will run regardless. Any of you hear heads like myself can read between the lines here I’d hope!
I have checked out TYM at the local dealer. It really is in the same class as Deere and Kubota. TYM is hungry and will be for several years. As someone who bleeds green that is a huge compliment. Stupid people are stupid people. We are all embassadors for many products whether or not we know it. Buy a Harley t-shirt. It looks like a Nascar car. Keep up the great work. Thank you for your great videos (all of your channels) but mostly thank you for your nearly 26 years of service for this great country (it still is great)
Thank you
Best 300 hour review of the TYM Tractor in the history of UA-cam.
That checks
Hey Hank, glad you love your TYM. I have the RK37S / TYM and I love it too. The lack of inventory during the plandemic gave me plenty of time to research a lot of different brands. Not gonna lie coming from a rural ag setting it was harder to buy something that wasn't from one of the usual suspects, but after a lot of comparing of all things the TYM just flat out won it for me. I haven't had not one regret yet and I can't say I see any chance of one either. Love your videos, Keep on putting out the great content brother.

Due exactly to the explanation in the first 3 and a half minutes of this video is WHY I subscribe to this channel. Great stuff Hank!!
Hank, I'm glad to see you selling tractors! I was so afraid you were going to get hurt starting them Detroits without checking the rack first! I've had a couple Detroits run away and it's hard to believe how far some of them parts will fly!

Nice review i just wanted to add that you should mention the age i think its important to see how well a tractor ages for reliability issues
Awesome video.... Hey Hank I know you do most of your work at your place so probably don't haul it as much as I will be doing. You should make a video on tie down points.

I've done both of those ways with other tractors. Thanks for watching 👍
On the fence about buying one soon, so this helped me, still not sure, but thanks again !
It's been a good tractor for me. Most of the brands now days are solid tractors. Good luck with your decision. Its a tough one for sure
I have the same tractor dare i say the RK version . Over 200 hours zero issues . Although I go through a regen about every 50 hours or so .
The RK version has a different engine. RK specs the Yanmar, which is common rail
Seems like a nice tractor, but the test that I want to see is the one only time can tell, I've got an old Massey 85, think its a 1959 model, and god only knows how many hours are on that old dog.

They come is many sizes 2"x8", 3"x8", 1.5"x10" etc. Same for the side link = what size are you getting? I'd like to get mine ordered now so I've got them when I get the tractor.
How do you feel about the plastic fenders? I kinda like the Branson TYM tractors because of the steel fenders and cast iron rear axle and differential. What do you think?
I haven't had any issues, but metal would be preferred
I have a 494. Bent the bucket the first day. TYM really needs to step it up with the buckets. The bucket is not covered by the warranty. Go figure. I bought a bucket for a 100 hp skid steer. I don’t have enough tractor to bend it. Mine has a little over 300 hours and no regen either.
Right on! I don't think it's an exclusive TYM issue. I've seen all the other brands bend them too. But I'm like "just add another 1/8" man! " lol
As a heavy equipment mechanic , the best machine mechanically for the money in this category seems to be the LS mt573. I been looking at several other tractors and it seems to be on top.. I will say ls doesn't have very good mechanics in my area though
Do tell Mr mechanic, What’s special about it?
@@bearkawiboy6246 3 remotes In the rear, better transmission with more range and creeper, better heavier duty axles with Planetary front axle(used in industrial equipment), a lot more tech . I'm at work so I don't have time to think of everything or to go into details . Still doesn't mean the t574 is a bad machine
Can't wait when you go for 224. That is one i am interested in.
👍
Iam looking to get a new tractor around the size you have for snow plow all I need is heat in the cab
I hear ya. You'll enjoy the AC in the summer, even if you don't think you need it now 😁👍
Overall, it’s a tractor I would buy!
Indeed
Hey Hank. I really enjoy your videos. I am replacing my Kubota L3301 with a tractor with a larger frame size. I am looking at a 5520R as my local dealer has a great price on them. I am a little afraid that TYM is going to discontinue the Branson models. What is your opinion should I get the 574 or do you think I will be safe with the 5520? I have 2 Deere tractors we use to bail hay but I need a tractor with no cab for clipping around trees. Deere and Kubota have gotten out of my price range and I have seen good things about TYM so I want to give them a shot. I will be pulling a hay rake and clipping mostly with my update.
I personally would go with the 574. They both are good tractors, but you have a valid concern. How much longer will they continue the legacy 5520? That's the million dollar question. I have 385 hours on my 574 now and absolutely zero issues.
Great content my brother .. 42 mins to mow how many acres ?? If you don't mind me asking
We maintain about 15-20 acres of our 75 acres here. But I'm sure I was talking about the 2ish acre field behind the main pole barn👍
How do you like the Ind. Tires vs Ag Tires ? I've been doing allot of reading/Viewing on this model. I think this model has more to offer than the 474 cab.
I use the Industrial tires bc the ag tires are too aggressive. I drive across my front yard a lot. If I didn't drive on "lawns" I'd go ag tire.
What camera/ monitor setup did you install. My 574 is being delivered Saturday. 😊

Hi Hank,
I ran into an issue with the TYM574. I'm trying to top off my radiator fluid, but no one carries the HD Expert Extreme brand coolant the tractor came with and my dealer just picked it up from another dealer location, so they aren't able to provide the coolant either.
What brand and type of radiator coolant are you using in your TYM574? When I called the dealer/distributor who added the tractor fluids and asked them about a compatible fluid, they said I would need to drain the coolant and start fresh. It is frustrating since the tractor only has 15hrs on it. So far I have seen dealers who are not very good.
I would say that Universal Fluid is perfect ..... I use W.Mrt Universal or top off with distilled water for correct 50/50 mixture !!
Great video Hank.
I understand the bucket being being light, but consider other brands. I mean green tractors have a similar built bucket with less lift cap. on the same size tractor lol. In Regards to the haters.....they drank the green coolaide😅
Right on
Unfortunately they are no longer in the new product line and there are no HST tractors remaining in the TYM Series 3 tractors.
Huh? Who told you that? I haven't heard anything about that and I read and hear a lot of TYM news. It would be interesting to hear where you got that information from. Thanks
Just got several quotes on 494 and 574 h today😮
Byron, my problem was that TYM was directing me to their English language Korean site. Took me a while to figure it out.
The Series 3 tractors there are somewhat different. There are more transmission choices and lots more standard hydraulic features.
Can't lie, I'm digging that tractor.
You and me both!
What is the top speed on the 57 4 in medium range?
Wondering how fast I can go with a hay rake.
Everyone alway refers to the tractor as a five seventy four. It makes more sense to call it a fifty seven four. Fifty seven horse power.
It will go about 7mph in medium range
That range should do the trick and be plenty fast for raking and tedding hay.
Are these tractors easy to turn up the horsepower on? It sounds like some series have a mechanical engine vs. ecu.
Can you run the bucket and loader at the same time with that tym?
I assume you're asking if you can dump/curl and lift at the same time. If so, the answer is yes, if you hold it in a sweet spot about the 11 o'clock position.
Do you use a brush hog? If so what size? I am looking for a tractor to use a 12’ brush hog on
Like this one?
TYM Tractor pulling 12’ batwing..what will happen?

@@hhamilton1970 I just realized your also in Florida from the video you sent. I need what you got for the property I got last year in Citra Fl. Thanks this helped a lot.
What camera did you install that looks at the front of the tractor?
Install this accessory on your tractor to improve visibility!

Im guessing they skimp on the buckets because of the weight
where can i get the after market grill protector?
I potentially saved THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS by adding this to my tractor! You can too!

Does this have all the diesel emissions junk or do they have a different system than others above 25 hp? Looking at Kubota LX2610/20 or L2602 for that reason. Less than 2 acres, might be cheaper to rent I guess. Not as fun.
It does have the required DPF system. However that's the only "computer" on the machine.
The Korean tractors are all mechanically sound machines and the truth be told are as capable as any other.
Having owned one, my only complaint is the in cab ergonomics. For an example, the dashboard and steering wheel are way too low and control placement needs some attention. These do not effect the capability of the tractor only my preference for comfortable operations.
Can someone please please please help me decide between the TYM 4820H and the T494!!!! Seriously, please!
That's a tough one!
Mr. Hank what’s deal on parts. Trouble having them etc
I'm not sure. I never had to order any. But I assume my dealer will take care of me if I need to order anything. He's always been able to get anything I need for other equipment I have.
@@hhamilton1970 thx sir i am about to purchase tm754 tomorrow
That's a nice tractor. If I get another one, it will probably be that one.
How much weight can that loader lift?
Right at 2800 pounds at the pins.
Hank did you get your ol Ford running?
We RESCUED his daddy's farm tractor! First drive in 40 years!

300 hours and no Regen I wish my LS was like that.
I bought a skid steer bucket a lot heavier duty
Yeah I have a skid steer bucket that I'll use from time to time
is that made in china??? just bustin balls, i have a 2022 t494 (same thing with no turbo) mine came with a super beefy draw bar, clevis style. i did put a half inch by 6 inch cutting edge on my bucket. huge improvement. with tires and a box blade that is 7000 lbs. zero issues with mine. its the most simple modern motor you can buy. quiet and smooth. pats easy change was a huge improvement also. hydraulic top link also. who else runs hard lines to the loader? even them there KU-BOATERS dont have that.
Those kind of people need to educate themselves before being negative..
Nice grapple!
Well said sir about lying about a tractor and going to heaven
👍
Owe yes ask your dealer if they have a Branson bucket for your tym for some reason they are better
👍
Put a set of good quality speakers in there.
You could, but I wear headphone a lot.
maybe if they served this country they would have some integrity
There's no integrity in fighting for a country your ancestors STOLE from good people who took you in and kept you alive.
I buy my tractors with 3000 hrs, so this does not apply.
