At TYM, we believe tractors are more than machines. They’re part of the memories being made—supporting families as they work, learn, and grow together. Whether you're managing acres of crops or raising animals on a smaller homestead, TYM tractors are designed to bring reliability, versatility, and joy to every season.
Safety first: best practices for family involvement
As with any farm activity, safety should always come first. TYM is committed to helping families work and play safely with built-in safety features across our tractor lineup. These safety features include the basics like ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure), seatbelt systems, and PTO shields and guards, as well as advanced telematics like S.A.M (Smart Agricultural Management) with auto engine shut down in the event of signal loss or course deviation and roll-over detection alerts. Above all, make sure all family members—especially children—understand how to stay clear of operating areas, wear appropriate clothing and footwear, and follow your farm’s safety rules.
Safe tractor rides and family activities
One of the most exciting parts of summer for kids on the farm is hopping on a tractor with a parent or grandparent. With the right precautions, these rides can be safe, memorable, and educational.
Tractor rides are entertaining just as they are, but there are so many ways to customize the experience. You can take a sunrise or sunset ride down your favorite field or host a community hayride or wagon tour powered by your TYM tractor. Gamify tractor rides with trivia questions or points for spotting farm animals or landmarks. As always, use seatbelts and proper seating for passengers and avoid steep or rough terrain when carrying guests.
Farm picnics and outdoor gatherings
Why not turn your next tractor job into a festive gathering? With the right equipment, creating the perfect space on your property is easier than you think. Use a mid-mount mower to groom overgrown fields into the perfect party lawn. Connect a small rake grapple to your tractor to clean up branches and debris under your favorite tree to create the perfect rest area under the shade.
With the help of your TYM tractor, setting up for a summer picnic is as easy as loading up a trailer. Use your tractor to haul fresh produce for a “field-to-fork” meal, move hay bales for seating, and haul coolers and tables. A reliable tractor doesn’t just get the job done—it helps make the good times happen, too!
Summer chores that bring families together
Summer on the farm isn’t just about fun—it’s also a time when families bond over meaningful work. Kids can take part in age-appropriate chores that help them build lifelong skills and a sense of responsibility.
Efficient and reliable farm machines like TYM tractors make these moments smoother and safer. Whether you’re using your tractor to prep garden beds or transporting feed and water for livestock, children of all ages will relish the opportunity to contribute to the family. Invite older children to help with mowing or basic loader work under supervision. By turning chores into team activities, families not only get more done—they also build lifelong habits, discipline, and most importantly, lasting traditions.
Building traditions and passing down knowledge
Many farm kids remember the first time they sat behind the wheel of a tractor, or the day they helped build a farm structure with our parents. These are the kinds of memories that shape a family. TYM tractors are often part of those stories—supporting generations of farmers as they learn, grow, and pass down what matters most. Whether it's a grandparent teaching a grandchild how to reverse a trailer or a parent sharing stories of their own childhood summers, the tractor is right there at the heart of the farm and at the heart of our memories.
Make this summer one to remember with TYM tractors
Whether you're an adult growing crops on a farm or a child growing up on one, summer is the season for memories. The tractor isn’t just another tool in the shed—it’s often at the center of the work, the learning, and the moments families share together.
