Does anyone know anything about these? I'm looking at the larger 4 wd on the net.
Thanks

All I can add to answer your question is that they are a new entry into the import market from Asia, this one is from Korea /China as are several others Kioti and Montana (I believe)!

TYM Link HERE

Until it is a proved Name I.E. with a proved solid reputation and a strong local dealer network that can service your purchase as well as respond to your parts / filters/ warranty claims and etc. request's and needs with off the shelf support !!

I would advise that you concentrate your looking at the Big Two, John Deere and Kubota and let the good and bad pass for what it's worth perhaps several thousand dollars to you personally!!

TYM tractors have been in the US market, under different names, Milenium, Scorpion. Mahindra's 10 series have been and still are made by TYM and some of the Montana tractors are made by TYM. TYM has made parts for most of the mager tractor manufacturers. Being I have been a Mahindra dealer for 5 plus years, I have gained a lot of respect for the TYM tractor. TYM wasn't happy with the performance of the US company that marketed them under the Milenium and Scorpion name, so they have taken US marketing into their own hands. They are a good tractor and the company seems to be working hard at building a US reputation. Good luck with your decision.

Maine Farmer,

A fellow Berry grower and good friend bought a Millenium 5 years ago and has worked the Dog snot out of it for GP use outside of the Patch. He loves the stupid thing.

Scorpion is a common and Popular Tractor around here with the Grape growers south of me.

I havn't heard any gripes except for the cost of fuel Caps (Why is it that they are all 40-50 Bucks?

) and now and some comments(One Gent I work with that may be a singular exception) on getting at a filters.

Check around and see what dealer has been in your area the longest, and what he's selling.

Dealer support can be a deal breaker, or a real headache later if ya gotta drive a couple hours each way for widgets and parts not available at the hardware or local TSC.

Best of luck!!

I've had a TYM 273 for 5 years now. It's a pretty tuff little bastard. It help me burn 120 cut down pine trees on my property for the first few months. Since I have owned it, I have replaced a busted hydraulic (back feed) line underneath and a busted hydraulic line recently leading from the steering to the front axle. I don't know if the cruse control ever worked, but the button doesn't stay in, the brake light switch is broke (kind of unprotected underneath), I have replaced the glow plug relay once (located by the battery and I got one from auto zone), and I could use a new plastic grill (darn logs i was pciking up and stacking did a number on it). Just minor normal repairs, but other then that, it is running strong. By the way, my Mitsubishi diesel is the same engine that John Deer uses and I love my hydrostatic. Make sure you have a good parts dealer close by because I don't think these guys keep anything in stock.

I recently purchased a 2006 TYM T 400 with very low hours. I have been around tractors and farms all of my life and have used a lot of different tractors and I am very satisfied with this tractor. The TYM is manufactured in South Korea and this particular model uses a four cylinder Kubota engine and is rated at 43 horse power.

I have some heavily wooded property and have been using the tractor for some light logging and road building. I have also used it for brush hogging and it seems to perform very well. It has plenty of power and runs and drives well.

I cant comment on the larger tractors made by TYM other then to say that if they are made as well as my tractor is made they are probably a good machine.
