Read articles →An owner-operator who rigorously tested competing brands before buying runs through five genuine gripes about his TYM T574, covering the skid steer quick attach, inadequate grill guard, plastic fuel tank threads, rear remote lever placement, slow loader speed under auto-throttle, awkward pedal angle, missing hydraulic-fluid temperature gauge, and lack of a real toolbox. He's candid about tradeoffs and closes by reaffirming he'd still buy this tractor. Useful for anyone seriously cross-shopping 55-60 hp hydrostats.
An owner-operator channel that takes on paid work with the equipment, though the creator discloses the featured TYM T574 is provided free by a sponsoring dealership that also carries competing brands.
He runs auto throttle with the engine set low, so the loader barely moves; throttling up manually makes it move at a comfortable speed instead.
No, it only shows engine temperature, battery voltage, and hours. He wishes it had a gauge for hydrostatic fluid temperature since overheating hurts a hydrostat.
It's all plastic with soft, cheap threads that can be hard to start straight, and he worries repeated fillings could cross-thread and ruin them.
Yes, he says for a 55 horse machine it still lifts more and costs less than competitors, so he would still pick it today.
