Dalton reflects on using the TYM 2515H for heavy pole-barn site prep (about 45 hours: box blading, tilling, moving dirt, stones, and logs), covers one minor hydraulic line leak, compares it briefly to the cabbed 3025C, and gives his honest verdict on lift capacity and value. No footage of hands-on demo work, mostly spoken reflection.
Posted by the owner-operator behind Bertrand Acres, sharing personal, unsponsored impressions from real use on his own 10-acre property.
Yes, he says the answer is absolutely and he does not see himself going for any other tractor after 45 hours of heavy use.
Only one hydraulic line had a small leak, which he fixed by tightening it with a crescent wrench. No overheating, flat tires, or transmission issues.
He says it is basically the same tractor, same horsepower and tires, but geared a bit different for the cab's HVAC, and costs about $8,000 more.
About 45 hours, mostly pole-barn site prep including box blading, tilling, and moving dirt, stones, and logs, with help from excavators and skid steers.
