TYM T494 ENGINE

The TYM T494 features a Kukje 2.3L 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing reliable performance for various agricultural tasks. With a 17-gallon (64.3L) fuel tank, it offers extended operating time, reducing the need for frequent refueling during long workdays. However, consider the tractor's dimensions and weight in relation to your operational terrain, as these factors may impact maneuverability in tighter spaces.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The TYM T494 tractor features an 8-speed shuttle hydrostatic transmission which allows for seamless direction changes without the need to clutch, enhancing operational efficiency in tight spaces. The hydrostatic design offers precise control over speed and torque, making it suitable for varied tasks such as loader work, mowing, and tilling. However, users may find the initial cost higher compared to gear-driven systems, and potential power losses in hydrostatic systems could affect performance in heavy-duty applications.

TRANSMISSION 1

The TYM T494 features a shuttle transmission with 8 forward and reverse gears, enhancing maneuverability and operational efficiency in various farming tasks. Its oil capacity of 37 quarts (35.0 liters) indicates a robust lubrication system, which is crucial for maintaining engine longevity and performance under heavy loads. Ideal for medium-duty applications, the T494 balances power with versatility, though its shuttle transmission may pose a learning curve for operators accustomed to more traditional gear configurations.

Gears 8 forward and reverse
Oil capacity 37qts / 35.0L

TRANSMISSION 2

The TYM T494 tractor utilizes a hydrostatic transmission, providing seamless speed control and ease of operation, which is beneficial for tasks requiring precision, such as loader work. Its infinite (3-range) forward and reverse gears enhance versatility, allowing operators to optimize power delivery depending on load conditions. However, hydrostatic systems may have lower efficiency compared to traditional gear systems in specific high-load scenarios, leading to potential challenges in prolonged heavy-duty applications.

TYM T494 TIRES

The TYM T494 tractor's standard agricultural tires (9.5-16 front and 13.6-26 rear) provide optimal traction for fieldwork, favoring stability and soil compaction. However, switching to industrial tires (12-16.5 front and 17.5-24 rear) enhances versatility for construction or terrain with hard surfaces, albeit potentially compromising grip in loose soil. Consider your primary operating conditions to optimize tire selection for either agricultural efficiency or industrial adaptability.
