Read articles →A hands-on dealer-lot walkthrough by a current compact-tractor owner actively deciding whether to upgrade, comparing the TYM T654 directly against his own Kioti ("Coyote") 60hp hydro. He works through physical dimensions with a tape measure, loader specs, ground clearance, cab entry, and maintenance access point by point, notably struggling to locate the TYM's fuel filter. Best for shuttle-vs-hydro fence-sitters who want a practical owner's-eye size-up before buying.
Posted by the Kapper Outdoors Modern Homestead channel, an owner-operator evaluating tractors for his own hill-country and clay-country property, so the perspective is a genuine buyer's comparison rather than a dealer pitch.
The hydro fluid filter and oil filter are in similar easy spots, but the fuel filter is hard to find and access is more difficult overall than on the Kioti.
Yes, the TYM has a self-leveling loader, a feature the owner liked on a previous John Deere and found useful once used to it.
Ground clearance favors the TYM, which appeared to have almost twice the clearance of the Kioti's low frame bar.
The TYM has dual hydraulic gear pumps, one with a detent and one free flow, while the Kioti only has a single hydraulic pump.
