Read articles →A real-world owner walkthrough from someone who bought this T494CH cab tractor to replace a failed Kubota at his wood lot. In 26 minutes he covers loader capacity, the single-function loader limitation, cab controls, PTO modes, three-point hitch quick-connect arms, gear ranges, lighting quirks, and the non-standard trailer plug. Depth is solid for a first overview, though he skips the engine bay and attachments for future videos. Best for anyone cross-shopping cab compacts and wanting an unsponsored buyer's honest first impressions.
An owner-operator who bought this tractor with his own money for firewood work and states explicitly he has no sponsorship from TYM or the dealer.
No, the loader can only do one function at a time, unlike the owner's older Kubota L2900 which could lift and roll simultaneously.
The loader lifts about 2,800 pounds, a big upgrade over the L2900 Kubota he previously owned which lifted about 1,100 pounds.
No, it has a round-pin plug that appears European style, so he bought an adapter to convert it to a standard seven-pin blade connector.
In manual mode holding the button engages the PTO regardless of implement position. In auto mode, it engages when the implement is down and disengages when raised.
