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 5835
What they like
- A wet multi-disc power shuttle rather than a dry clutch, which is the single biggest quality-of-life difference on a loader tractor and is standard here
- 4,409 lb Cat II hitch with a mechanical position-and-draft lever - it will run implements the rest of the TYM compact line cannot
- The BL350 loader lifts 3,437 lb at the pivot pin to a 117.5 in lift height, enough to load a dump trailer over the side
- Four loader valves and two rear remotes are standard, so a grapple and a rear implement can both be plumbed without an add-on kit
- 18.1 in of ground clearance on a 78.7 in wheelbase, with a 15.3-gallon tank
- 70-amp alternator and a wet multi-disc PTO clutch, both sized for continuous work
What they complain about
- TYM publishes no price, and the dealer listings that quote one for this class are loader-inclusive packages
- Only a single gear pump: 11.4 gpm implement and 5.2 gpm steering come off one pump, where the lighter 5520 uses a dual pump
- 48 PTO hp from 58 gross is 83 percent, respectable but below what the Case IH or New Holland utility twins deliver at the same engine size
- The heated cab is an option and the brochure does not publish a cab weight
- No warranty terms are stated on the page or in the brochure
TYM T224
What they like
- 993 cc and 1,472 lb make it genuinely small - 53.1 in. of wheelbase and 44.5 in. wide, so it goes places a BX2380 has to back out of
- Yanmar builds the 3TNV74F, which is one of the most widely serviced small industrial diesels in the world
- Hydrostatic power steering and wet disc brakes on a tractor this size, neither of which is universal at the bottom of the market
- Independent 540 PTO rather than a live or transmission PTO
- TYM's published powertrain cover is 72 months or 3,000 hours for non-commercial use, which is longer than Deere or Kubota offer as standard
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
- TYM publishes no front-end loader for the T224 - the brochure mentions an optional loader but names no model, and no loader page on TYM's site lists this tractor, so neither the loader's model nor its lift capacity can be stated
- 1,100 lb of hitch lift at the link ends, falling to 679 lb measured 24 in. behind them - the weakest hitch in the TYM range
- 4.6 gpm of implement flow from a single gear pump, so the steering and the implement circuit share one supply
- 8.4 mph flat out, which makes a long driveway feel longer
- Rear remote valves are optional and there is only one, so a top-link cylinder uses the only port you get
- Category I (N) narrow hitch, so some full-size Category I implements will not fit the link spacing
