In this edition of the tractor comparison article series, we’ll compare two leading subcompact tractor models to help you take the guesswork out of the tractor buying process.


In the competitive world of subcompact tractors, the TYM T264 and Kubota BX2680 are two models that often make the shortlist. However, the TYM T264 sets new standards in its class with its impressive versatility, powerful lift capacity, and lifelong service and value. See how the TYM Series 1 standout excels beyond its peers, and why the T264 may be the ideal choice for your many needs.


Maneuverability: Durability and transmission for effortless operation

The TYM T264 offers excellent maneuverability, thanks to its compact size and hydrostatic transmission. With its solid yet maneuverable body, the T264 provides a smooth and effortless experience, even in confined spaces. The hydrostatic drive allows for easy speed adjustments and seamless transitions between forward and reverse movements. This makes it easy to navigate around obstacles and work in confined spaces, a big advantage for backyard projects and small property owners.

Additionally, the T264’s weight and design provide enhanced stability, ensuring safe operation even when working with heavy attachments. Weighing in at a hefty 1,881 pounds with a width of just 52.8 inches, the open station T264 strikes a perfect balance between stability and maneuverability, allowing it to navigate tight spaces while maintaining a solid grip on the ground. Meanwhile, the Kubota BX2680 clocks in at 1,521 pounds with a width slightly shorter than the T264.

Lift Capacity: Compatibility with a wider range of tasks and attachments

One of the standout features of the T264 is its enhanced lift capability that far exceeds that of other subcompact tractors. The 3-point linkage on the rear has an impressive lift of 1,380 pounds, easily handling heavy loads and intensive applications with a range of attachments. On the other hand, the BX2680 has a rear lift capacity of 680 pounds, which is significantly lower than the TYM T264.

When it comes to engine performance, the two tractors boast similar horsepower. The Kubota BX2680 comes with a 24.8 HP liquid-cooled diesel engine while the T264 features a 24 HP naturally aspirated TYM engine that’s known for its durability and efficiency. This engine provides ample power for a range of applications, from mowing to light construction tasks.
