Read articles →A real-work session video following Tony as he uses a TYM T474 with a grapple to clear a briar-choked patch of land while waiting on sawmill parts. The tractor content is secondary to a broader homestead narrative, scouting property lines, a sagging pole barn beam, a broken sawmill, but it includes a practical tip on relieving hydraulic back-pressure before connecting implements and a loader centering warning for pushing stumps. Best for hobbyist homesteaders who enjoy following along on a project rather than shoppers wanting focused T474 coverage.
An owner-operator channel documenting a working homestead build, so the perspective is hands-on and personal rather than sales-oriented.
Leave the tractor off, turn the ignition to the on position, then push both buttons on the controller. This opens the electric valve on both sides and releases back pressure so the lines connect easily.
Temperature changes between when you park the implement and when you move it again can cause pressure to build in the lines, making them hard to reconnect without relieving it first.
Keep whatever you are pushing centered between the loader arms. Catching it on an edge can put heavy strain on the loader and can warp or damage it.
