The video centers on specific grievances, a three-month dealer repair wait, $100/day rental costs, drop spindle failures, headlights melting housings, and unpainted replacement parts, plus a side-by-side cab comparison with the John Deere he replaced it with. Most useful for anyone weighing TYM against established brands on dealer support and parts availability.
An owner-operator on a working farm sharing a candid, sometimes blunt personal experience, no apparent dealer affiliation, though his preference for John Deere is clear throughout.
Both front drop spindles failed around 250 to 300 hours, headlights bubbled the housings, and a repair took three to three and a half months while he paid $100 a day to rent a tractor.
It took about three to three and a half months to get the tractor back, during which the dealer offered no loaner or rental tractor.
Parts availability and lack of knowledgeable dealer service were the main issues, plus the long repair wait nearly bankrupted him, so he sold property to buy a John Deere.
Yes, the TYM came with mirrors, a horn, separate overhead and headlight switches, and more creature comforts, but the controls like the joystick and shifter felt cheaper.
