How do I check attachments?

How to choose

TYM T5068 lists higher engine horsepower (68 vs 67 HP). That is not a PTO advantage — confirm shaft power separately before buying cutters or tillers.
The gap vs TYM T654 is small (~1.0 HP) — rear lift or hitch class often matter more day to day.
Both list Category II — hitch class alone does not settle the matchup; lift and PTO still decide implement fit.
TYM T5068 has the higher verified PTO rating (62.7 vs 61.9 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 TYM T5068 when you need higher verified PTO (62.7 vs 61.9 PTO HP) for cutters, tillers, or snow blowers.

Choose TYM T654 when dealer package and local service tip the scale after a clear Fit check — screen hitch, PTO, and lift on your heaviest implement first.
