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 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
TYM T264
What they like
- 1,534 lb of hitch lift at the link ends is the most in TYM's sub-compact line and more than a Kubota BX or a Deere 1025R will manage
- Cruise control as standard on a sub-compact, which matters on a long mow
- 24 hp at 2,800 rpm rather than 3,000-3,200, so it is doing less work per horsepower and running quieter
- Dual gear pump splits 4.4 gpm to the implement circuit and 2.7 gpm to steering, so a loader cycle does not drag on the wheel
- Infinite 2-range HST reaching 12.9 mph, half as fast again as the T224
- Powertrain cover of 72 months or 3,000 hours 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
- Only one remote valve, and it is optional
- 4.4 gpm of implement flow is modest for a tractor asked to run a loader and a mid-mount deck
- The TX2000 loader lifts 1,380 lb at the pivot point, which TYM publishes in kilograms-force on the loader page and not at all on the tractor page
- 1,881 lb is heavy for a sub-compact if the job is crossing a soft lawn
- The hitch lift falls to 1,102 lb measured 24 in. behind the link ends, so a long implement loses nearly a third of the figure
