Read articles →This video focuses specifically on the TYM T654's creeper gear, what it is, when to use it (close-approach loader work, getting near a trailer without damage), and how it compares to hydrostatic and shuttle-shift transmissions. The standout detail is a practical tip many owners miss: tractors ship with a transport pin that locks the creeper lever, which most dealerships never remove. Best for new TYM T654 owners who can't get their creeper gear to engage.
A homesteading channel run by a self-described city transplant learning tractor operation on a hay farm, so expect a new-owner perspective rather than experienced-operator or dealer insight.
A transport pin under the cabin, near the hydraulic fill port, keeps the lever from moving up and most dealerships never remove it before delivery.
Lift the mud flap on the back left side of the tractor, locate the small pin in the shaft, and pull it out with needlenose pliers.
Use it for close loader work, like pulling something off a truck bed or trailer, so you can inch forward without risking damage.
A hydrostatic lets you inch forward with a pedal, while a power shuttle requires working the lever back and forth, which feels less natural for finessing.
