Lucas walks through key specs (48 hp, Cummins-lineage engine, 11.4 gpm hydraulic flow, hydrostatic vs. shuttle shift options), points out the beefy three-point hitch components, and explains his buying rationale. Best for shoppers researching the T482 who want an owner's pre-use first impressions rather than a performance test.
An owner-operator channel run by a hobby homesteader on 38 acres in Eastern Kentucky who purchased this tractor with his own money and is sharing early impressions before putting it to work.
He wanted easier operation for loading logs on the sawmill and wanted a simple setup his son could eventually learn to operate safely.
It has 11.4 gallons per minute of implement flow rate, which the owner says is the highest he found in the compact tractor market.
It uses the TYM T2300 N2 engine, the same Cummins A series engine, which is not computer controlled and easy to keep running without heavy dealer support.
It has standard 540 RPM and a 540E option that spins at 750 RPM, letting you lower engine RPM while still reaching 540 PTO RPM to save fuel.
