Which is better — TYM T3035C or TYM T474?

TYM T474 lists higher engine horsepower (48.3 vs 35 HP). That is not a PTO advantage — confirm shaft power separately before buying cutters or tillers. TYM T3035C has more rear lift (2,425 vs 1,764 lb @ 24″) — more headroom for heavier three-point tools. TYM T474 needs lighter implements or stricter ballast discipline. Choose TYM T3035C when you need more rear lift (2,425 vs 1,764 lb @ 24″) for heavier three-point tools. Choose TYM T474 when you need higher verified PTO (35.9 vs 30 PTO HP) for cutters, tillers, or snow blowers. 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 TYM T3035C or TYM T474, pick an attachment type and model, and read Pass/Fail/Partial on hitch, PTO, and lift.
