What is my TYM tractor worth?
TYM (and the Branson tractors that folded into it) put a lot of machine on the lot for the money, and the used market follows the same logic.
Value your TYM
What TYM tractors bring used
Typical asking ranges for sound machines. Hours, a loader, a cab and where you are standing move every one of these.
How TYM holds value
A used TYM or Branson typically asks 15 to 22 percent under a comparable Kubota. Buyers shopping these are shopping on dollars per horsepower.
Branson-badged machines are the same lineage as current TYM tractors, and parts continuity has held up — say so in the listing, because it removes the buyer's main worry.
Loader condition and hydraulic leaks drive the price more than hours do on these machines.
What this estimate cannot see
- Dealer distance. Buyers pay more when parts and service are close by.
- Service records. A folder of receipts is worth real money to a cautious buyer.
- Photos. Clean pictures from all four sides regularly add more than any option on the machine.
- Timing. Tractors sell best ahead of hay season and planting. The same machine brings less in the wrong month.
Common questions
- Put the horsepower, model year, hours and condition into the calculator on this page and it returns two ranges: what to ask selling it privately, and what it would likely bring at auction. Then type your exact model into the comparables box to check it against what machines like yours ask on the wider market.
- A used TYM or Branson typically asks 15 to 22 percent under a comparable Kubota. Buyers shopping these are shopping on dollars per horsepower.
- Hours only matter against age. A tractor puts on roughly 200 hours a year, so a 10-year-old machine with 2,000 hours is average. Half that adds value; double it takes value off — usually 15 to 25 percent at the extremes.
- A standard equipment listing is free. Equipment auctions carry a 4% seller fee ($75 minimum) and a 5% buyer premium ($75 minimum), both capped at $2,500, and no subscription is required to start one.
