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 T5068
What they like
- 62.7 PTO hp out of 68 gross is a 92 percent driveline figure - the highest in this catalog, and it is what lets a 68 hp tractor pull a baler
- Deutz TCD 2.9 rather than a captive engine, with a parts and service network of its own independent of the tractor brand
- Cab is standard equipment, not an option - the spec table shows no ROPS weight at all
- 24 forward speeds, with a synchro shuttle standard and a power shuttle available
- Six standard remote valves on the floating and regeneration build, four on the spring and floating build
- Category II hitch rated 4,270 lb at the link ends and 3,153 lb 24 in. behind them
- 540 and 750 rpm PTO speeds, and 23 mph on the road
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
- 10.3 gpm of implement flow at 68 hp is thin - the 48 hp 4820 delivers 11.4 gpm
- Cab-only means no cheaper ROPS build exists to bring the entry price down
- TYM still sells the T654 alongside it, with nearly identical figures under a different name, which makes the lineup confusing to shop
- 5,556 lb with the cab, heavy enough to mark soft ground
- TYM publishes the L5068SL loader's lift only in kilograms-force on the loader page - 1,416 kgf, which is 3,122 lb
TYM T5074
What they like
- A true power shuttle with an adjustable shuttle sensitivity setting, standard on a ROPS tractor at this price point
- 3,319 cc from Yanmar, the largest displacement in the TYM range and 400 cc more than the Deutz-engined Series 5 tractors
- Four loader and four rear remote valves standard, plus a front six-port hydraulic valve
- 4,329 lb of Category II hitch lift at the link ends, with a telescopic lower link and both position and draft control
- TYM Telematics is standard, and so is a two-button loader joystick with a four-port loader valve
- 19 gal of fuel, the largest tank on any ROPS tractor in the TYM line
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 T5074 - its brochure names none and no loader page on TYM's site lists this tractor, so neither the loader model nor its lift capacity can be stated, even though the brochure photograph shows the tractor wearing one
- 13.5 mph flat out, barely half the 23 mph the cabbed T5068 manages, so road moves take twice as long
- 60.2 PTO hp from 71.5 gross is an 84 percent driveline figure, well behind the 92 percent the Deutz-engined T5068 achieves at lower power
- Over 70 engine horsepower, so TYM's powertrain cover drops from 72 months / 3,000 hours to 60 months / 2,000 hours
- 10.3 gpm of implement flow at 71.5 hp, the same pump as the 68 hp T5068
- ROPS only - no cab is offered on this model at all
