TYM T224
Sub-Compact
21.5 hp engine · 15.1 PTO−30% to the shaft

Smallest tractor TYM sells in North America and the only one under a litre: a 993 cc Yanmar three spinning to 3,200 rpm in a 1,472 lb frame. It undercuts a Kubota BX on weight by 200 lb, which is the point of it and also its limit.

On the price: Neither this maker nor any dealer reachable from here publishes a bare-tractor price for this model — every listing found either says “call for price” or bundles a loader. That is how this brand sells, so expect to get a number by asking a dealer rather than by looking it up.

Lift figures are the maker's and are quoted at whichever point the maker chose; the about page explains why two loaders with the same number do not lift the same pallet.

From owner discussion and long-term write-ups

What owners say

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's own T1100N2 engine instead of a Yanmar, tuned to make its 24 hp at only 2,800 rpm, in a frame 400 lb heavier than the T224. The extra mass is what buys the 1,534 lb hitch, the biggest in TYM's sub-compact range.

The one sub-compact in TYM's range with a geared base build - a 6-speed constant-mesh box with only two reverse ratios - and that gearbox is why it makes 21 PTO hp where the hydrostatic 2400H makes 18. Three horsepower is a lot at 24 gross.

Same engine, hitch and pumps as the 2400 on a wheelbase stretched 6.6 in. and a 3-range hydrostat geared for 17 mph - the fastest sub-compact TYM builds. It is the long-legged version of the same machine rather than a more capable one.
