Two Korean tractor makers sit behind this page. TYM, founded in South Korea in 1951, bought Kukje Machinery, the parent of Branson Tractors, in September 2016, and took the remaining shares in August 2021 to make it a wholly owned subsidiary. The two brands were sold separately in North America until July 2022, when TYM began folding Branson in; Branson dealers became TYM dealers, and the Branson name was fully retired on January 1, 2023 while its tractors stayed in production. TYM's own material is clear that the parts are not interchangeable: a former Branson still takes Branson parts.
That history explains the two naming styles here. The plain four-digit models (2400, 2515, 2610, 3015, 3515, 3620, 4215, 4815, 4820, 5520, 5835) are the former Branson line, and several list Kukje or TYM engines. The T-prefixed models are TYM's own, from the T224 and T25 sub-compacts to the T554 and T574, and many use Yanmar diesels. TYM now groups the range into Series 1 and 2 (sub-compact), 3 and 4 (compact), 5 (compact utility) and 6 (utility). The newest arrivals are the T3025, T4058P and T5075 during 2025, and the T5068 with a 68 hp Deutz and the T5074 with a Yanmar, launched at the National Farm Machinery Show in February 2026. TYM North America runs assembly, service and training sites in Georgia, Texas, Pennsylvania and Oregon. For non-commercial use, tractors of 20 to 70 hp carry a 72-month or 3,000-hour powertrain warranty; machines under 20 or over 70 hp get 60 months or 2,000 hours, and commercial or rental use drops to 36 months.
Loader rating and price are what sell a TYM. The 25 hp 2515 is chosen precisely because it shares its frame and loader with the 35 and 40 hp models, and buyers report being quoted thousands below Kubota and Deere for comparable packages. The doubts are mostly about the future: neighbors warn about parts, most of the positive accounts come from owners in their first season, and the commonest regret is not buying the next size up on the same frame for more PTO power.
