Read articles →A non-sponsored owner comparison from someone who traded a John Deere 2038R for a TYM T474 and wants to say what sponsored reviewers won't. The video covers his reasons for switching, a direct price comparison ($25K vs. $39K negotiated for the 3039R), and candid cons, weak bucket, clunky loader disconnect, half-finished cab details, a parking brake that only locks one pedal. Best for serious shoppers weighing TYM against Deere on a budget.
An owner-operator on a Kansas deer farm sharing unsponsored, hands-on impressions after 50 hours of real use on his own property.
The owner negotiated the 3039R down to $39,000 but paid $25,000 for the T474, calling it a lot less for a more capable tractor on paper.
No. John Deere flips up disconnects and the loader locks itself down automatically. The T474 has stands, pins, and clips that are cumbersome to line up.
The owner says the bucket metal is thinner than John Deere's, it's wider but not as deep, and the factory cutting edge is known to bend on loader rocks.
Weak bucket with thin cutting edge, clunky loader disconnect, half-finished cab details like a shallow cup holder, and a parking brake that only locks one pedal.
