"The TYM is a pleasure to use," says Sandy. "There are two reasons for this and they are the Headland Management System and the design of the cab. "The system's very handy for the aeration work we predominantly use the TYM for and means you don't need three hands at once! Once the PTO switch is on, it's all automatic so you don't have to manually engage or disengage it when the aerator is lifted up and then reinserted into the ground. "The cab is big and the controls are well positioned. There are other perks, such as air conditioning, but something as simple as getting the design layout for the driver right is key. It reduces the effort required and makes you more productive and precise in your work." TYM say they have made operation control easier with a switch panel for front and rear working lights and wipers located on the right control stick. A foldable Rollover Protection System (ROPS) provides peace of mind when in use on undulating grounds and slopes.
TYM compact tractor are now distributed by Lely alongside Toro turf machinery.
