Lucas shares a practical observation about the diff lock pedal placement being awkward on a hydrostatic transmission. It's a casual working session rather than a structured review, best for TYM 4820 owners curious about loader forks and ballast in real conditions.
A hobby homestead owner-operator sharing genuine hands-on use from their own property, though the forks featured were provided by a sponsor (Landtop Mall) in exchange for promotion.
Yes. The logs had to be dragged with the BX and would barely move, but the TYM 4820 with pallet forks picked them up and carried them up the hill.
No. It is on the same side as the hydrostat pedals, so both feet end up on that side to engage it, which is described as a pain though it still works.
With 1,000 pounds in the forks, no ballast, and air in the tires, dropping the load quickly into a stop did not raise the rear tires off the ground, but ballast was still used for heavier logs.
