A highlighted cell wins its row on the rule named above the table: more power, lift, capacity or flow, or a lower price. A lift row is left unwon whenever the two makers measured in different places, or where either of them did not say — a figure quoted at the pivot pin and one quoted 500 mm ahead of it describe the same loader and differ by roughly a third, so ranking them against each other would invent a result. Prices are typical list and move with dealer packages.
From owner discussion and long-term write-ups
What owners of each one say
TYM 3015
What they like
- 3,306 lb of hitch lift at the link ends at 30 hp, which is more than most 50 hp compacts publish
- 25 PTO hp from 30 gross, an 83 percent driveline figure on the synchromesh build
- 12 x 12 synchromesh shuttle standard, with a 3-range hydrostat offered at the same trim
- Dual gear pump splitting 7.7 gpm to the implement circuit and 4.2 gpm to steering
- Two loader valves are standard equipment rather than an option
- 72-month, 3,000-hour powertrain cover for non-commercial use
What they complain about
- TYM publishes no price - every model page ends at Request a Quote, and no two independent dealers quote a bare tractor, so the figure here would have to be invented
- Zero rear remote valves in the base build - the two standard valves are for the loader, and rear circuits are extra
- 7.1 gal of fuel on a 3,183 lb tractor is a short working day
- Hitch lift falls from 3,306 lb at the link ends to 2,425 lb at 24 in. behind them
- The BL150 loader lifts 2,200 lb at the pivot point, which is well matched but no better than the 48 hp 4815 gets from the same loader
- TYM's dealer network is a fraction of Deere's or Kubota's, and that is what decides most of these purchases
TYM 3515
What they like
- 30 PTO hp from 35 gross, which is what a 6-foot cutter actually needs rather than what it is nominally rated for
- Same 3,306 lb hitch as every other Series 3 tractor, at the bottom of the range's price
- 12 x 12 synchromesh shuttle standard with a 3-range hydrostat offered, so the transmission is a real choice
- Naturally aspirated with no turbo and no particulate filter to regenerate
- Two standard loader valves, and the BL150 loader lifts 2,200 lb at the pivot point
What they complain about
- TYM publishes no price - every model page ends at Request a Quote, and no two independent dealers quote a bare tractor, so the figure here would have to be invented
- Zero rear remote valves standard
- 7.1 gal of fuel is small for a 35 hp machine that will be worked hard
- Identical weight, wheelbase, hitch and pump to the 30 hp 3015 - the extra 5 hp buys nothing but horsepower
- TYM's own site lists the 3515's engine Type row as a transmission description, which is a data error on the maker's page rather than a spec
- Hitch lift drops to 2,425 lb measured 24 in. behind the link ends
- Dealer coverage is thin compared with Deere, Kubota or Mahindra
