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 T394
What they like
- Common-rail Yanmar 3TNV88-CR rather than the indirect-injection and mechanical engines elsewhere in the class - quieter, cleaner and better on fuel
- Dual-filter air cleaner and cast-iron component connections, both called out by the maker as durability items
- 30.2 PTO hp from 37.4 gross, and cruise control as standard
- 9.0 gal of fuel, the largest tank in TYM's Series 3
- The TX39H loader lifts 2,116 lb at the pivot point on a 3,020 lb tractor
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
- 2,639 lb of hitch lift, 667 lb less than the 30 hp 3015 on the same shelf - this is the price of the Yanmar engine
- 6.1 gpm of implement flow is the lowest of any TYM compact, and it is what you feel on a grapple
- 12 x 12 mechanical shuttle only, with no hydrostatic option offered
- Hitch lift falls to 1,558 lb measured 24 in. behind the link ends
- Remote valves are optional (one or two), so nothing rear-mounted is plumbed as standard
- 3,000 rated rpm, several hundred higher than the T3035's 2,100, which is more engine noise for less hitch
TYM T474
What they like
- A four-cylinder 2,286 cc engine in a compact frame, which runs smoother under a PTO load than the three-cylinder machines around it
- An external lever lets you adjust rear attachments standing beside the tractor rather than from the seat
- Cruise control standard, and 9.0 gal of fuel
- The TX47 loader lifts 2,152 lb at the pivot point
- 12 x 12 mechanical shuttle with 4WD and hydrostatic steering 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
- 35.9 PTO hp from 48.3 gross is a 74 percent driveline figure - the worst ratio of any TYM compact, and 12 horsepower disappear between the flywheel and the shaft
- 2,690 lb of hitch lift at 48 hp, against 3,306 lb on the 30 hp 3015 in the same series
- 7.7 gpm of implement flow, the same pump the 30 hp 3015 uses
- One standard remote valve
- Hitch lift falls to 1,764 lb measured 24 in. behind the link ends, a 34 percent drop
- No hydrostatic build is offered, only the 12 x 12 mechanical shuttle
