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 4215
What they like
- 3,306 lb of hitch at the link ends is extraordinary for 41 hp - a Deere 3038E rates 1,989 lb and a Kubota L3302 about 1,918 lb
- 36 PTO hp from 41 gross is an 88 percent driveline figure, which is why this machine runs a 6-foot cutter without complaint
- 11.4 gpm of implement flow plus 5.2 gpm of steering, from a dual gear pump, so a loader cycle does not steal the wheel
- Naturally aspirated 2.3-litre four with no turbo and no particulate filter - fewer things to go wrong and no regeneration
- Choice of a 12F x 12R synchromesh shuttle or a 3-range hydrostatic at the same trim level
- The BL150 loader lifts 2,200 lb at the pivot pin, which is more than the tractor's own front axle weight
What they complain about
- No price is published by TYM or reproducible from two independent dealers - every figure found either bundles the loader or prices the dearest cab-and-hydrostatic trim
- The dealer network is a fraction of Deere's or Kubota's, and this is the argument that decides most of these purchases
- TYM does not state a warranty on this model's page or in its brochure, so the terms have to be confirmed at the dealer
- No cab in the brochure's own spec table - the cab weight row is a literal dash, so the 4215C's figures are not published
- The dry single-plate clutch on the synchromesh build will not enjoy relentless loader shuttling the way a wet power shuttle would
- Rear remotes are not standard: the brochure lists two loader valves and zero rear valves in the base build
TYM 4815
What they like
- 48 hp with no turbocharger and no diesel particulate filter is unusual at this size and removes two common failure points
- 40 PTO hp handles a 6 to 7 foot rotary cutter or a mid-size tiller comfortably
- The 3,306 lb Cat I hitch is the same as the 4215's and well beyond the class norm
- Identical driveline and frame to the 4215 and 3515, so a dealer stocks one parts set for three models
- 12F x 12R synchromesh or a 3-range hydrostatic, both offered with the cab as the 4815C
What they complain about
- Price is unpublished: TYM lists none, and the only bare figures any dealer network carries are for the cab-and-hydrostatic 4815CH, a different machine from the ROPS build these specs describe
- Fuel capacity is only 7.1 gallons behind 48 hp, so field work means stopping to refuel
- At 3,278 lb with ROPS it is light for its power, which limits what the rear hitch can actually pick up without ballast
- No warranty is stated on the model page or in the brochure
- The dry single-plate clutch is a weak point for heavy loader duty compared with a wet power shuttle
