The
TYM range of tractors has gone from strength to strength since
leading turf machinery distributor Lely UK took on its UK and Ireland
distribution last year.
Established
in 1960, South Korean company Tong Yang Moolson (TYM) specialises in
the design and manufacture of high-quality compact tractors.
Headquartered in Seoul, TYM is a major contributor to the country's
economic development and produces 10,000 tractors annually for
markets in the USA, Australia and Europe.
In
these territories, the brand has established itself as the
compact tractor of choice among customers as diverse as golf courses,
sports stadiums and equestrian facilities. And, since joining Lely's
"˜Partners in Turfcare' portfolio, the TYM range is proving just
as popular among UK and Ireland turf professionals.
Models
range from 23hp to 100hp to cater to a variety of needs, but Lely
says that the 40hp and 50hp tractors are particularly suited to the
turf sector. A popular choice is the 40hp T433 model, with its
maximum working speed of almost 20mph making it ideal for general
turf management. Or, for a mid-duty model, opt for the 50hp T503
tractor, which has a top speed of just over 20mph and is perfect for
larger venues like multi-course golf clubs, sports training grounds
and racecourses.
As
with all TYM tractors, both models benefit from a powerful
four-cylinder, liquid-cooled diesel engine. Some models feature
hydrostatic power-steering for effortless manoeuvrability and a wide
turning radius. A heavy-duty, four-wheel-drive front axle, meanwhile,
offers greater traction where needed.
TYM
tractors can also be upgraded with optional heated and
air-conditioned cabs for maximum operator comfort. But models without
cabs boast a handy feature as well – the ROPS can be folded down
for compact, convenient storage under a low roof.
And,
with Lely also distributor for the Toro range of turf machinery, the
great news is that TYM tractors are ideal for use with popular Toro
units, such as ProCore aerators and ProPass topdressers. The tractors
can be mounted with an array of other attachments, too, such as
loaders and backhoes from other manufacturers.
