Kioti NX6010H vs TYM T654
Both sit in the Utility class with similar engine horsepower (57.7 vs 67 HP). Below: catalog Facts for engine horsepower, weight, and rear lift; PTO and hitch only when verified. The decision points call out who leads on each Fact — engine HP is not a substitute for PTO HP.
Engine horsepower is not PTO horsepower. Missing Facts show as — — we never invent shaft ratings.
How to choose
- TYM T654 lists higher engine horsepower (67 vs 57.7 HP). That is not a PTO advantage — confirm shaft power separately before buying cutters or tillers.
- TYM T654 is heavier (5,555 vs 4,198 lb operating weight) — usually more stability and traction; Kioti NX6010H stays easier to maneuver in tight yards.
- Hitch differs: Kioti NX6010H (Category I) vs TYM T654 (Category II). Implement sheets must name the matching class — adapters do not add lift.
- TYM T654 has the higher verified PTO rating (61.9 vs 48.3 PTO HP) — that is the Fact for cutters, tillers, and snow blowers, not engine HP.
- Next step: open the Fit checker with the tractor that wins on your heaviest implement, and screen hitch, PTO, and lift against that attachment.
When to pick each
Choose Kioti NX6010H when you need lower operating weight (4,198 vs 5,555 lb) for tight yards, or implement sheets that explicitly list Category I.
Choose TYM T654 when you need higher verified PTO (61.9 vs 48.3 PTO HP) for cutters, tillers, or snow blowers, more frame mass (5,555 vs 4,198 lb) for traction and stability, or implement sheets that explicitly list Category II.

Use the Fit checker for your heaviest attachment instead of comparing engine HP alone.
- Are these numbers invented?
- No. Engine HP, weight, and rear lift come from catalog Facts; PTO/hitch only from verified overlays. Missing Facts show as — — we never invent shaft ratings.
- How do I check attachments?
- Open the Fit checker with Kioti NX6010H or TYM T654, pick an attachment type and model, and read Pass/Fail/Partial on hitch, PTO, and lift.
