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 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- Price is unpublished: TYM lists none, and the only bare figures any dealer network carries are for the cab-and-hydrostatic 4815CH, a different machine from the ROPS build these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
TYM 3620
What they like
- 3,754 lb of tractor behind a 35 hp engine gives it the traction and stability of machines a class above
- The BL200 loader lifts 2,701 lb at the pivot pin, more than most 50 hp compacts manage
- 16 forward and 16 reverse speeds on the synchromesh build, or a 4-range hydrostatic, both with a 540/750 two-speed independent PTO
- 15.5 in of ground clearance and an 11.8-gallon tank make it a genuine all-day field tractor rather than a yard machine
- Cat I hitch rated 3,306 lb at the link ends
What they complain about
- 28 PTO hp is only 80 percent of gross and is the lowest PTO figure in the series 4 range - it is the chassis you are buying, not the engine
- TYM publishes no price and no dealer publishes a bare-tractor figure for it
- Implement flow is 7.7 gpm, well under the 11.4 gpm the lighter series 3 machines push, so the big loader cycles slowly
- The brochure's hitch row prints 1,500 lb alongside 3,306 kg - the units are transposed, and it is the 3,306 lb / 1,500 kg pair that is right
- No warranty statement on the model page or in the brochure
