TYM vs John Deere comparison. Do I regret buying this new tractor? T474 vs 3039R #tractor #farming
✦
Overview
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.
