Covers specific add-ons the owner chose, ITC grill guard, WR Long third function kit, flat-face connect-under-pressure couplers, aftermarket handhold, plus one reliability issue (coolant reservoir seam leak) and honest opinions on the economy grapple. Best for prospective T474 buyers weighing accessories and real-world durability.
An owner-operator channel run by a retired fire captain sharing hands-on experience from his own property, with no apparent dealership or brand affiliation.
The owner feels it is a little too light duty for a 48 horsepower tractor and has bent some teeth, so he plans to get a heavier duty grapple.
The only issue was a small seam leak on the coolant reservoir recovery tank where it slides into the carrier, causing coolant to seep out.
He explains he chose the WR Long kit over the factory TYM third function kit, though the transcript notes he will explain the reason in more detail.
Twenty minutes after installing it, a limb spun around while using the grapple and broke, and the guard stopped it from going into the grill and radiator.
