THE ACREAGE EQUIPMENT FIELD GUIDE
Copied rows and swapped units: spotting errors in a tractor spec table
Manufacturer specification tables are assembled by hand, and the same kinds of error recur: a value copied from the row above, units swapped between columns, a feature callout from another model, or a pound and kilogram figure that do not match. A few quick checks catch most of them before they reach a purchase decision.

THE DECISION IN NUMBERS
Error patterns in TYM’s current catalogs
Values quoted from TYM’s 2026 Series 3 catalog and 2025 Series 4 catalog and the current TYM North America model pages, reviewed November 8, 2026. The final column is a suggested handling, not a determination of the correct value.
Scroll the table sideways on smaller screens.
| Pattern | Where | As printed | Check and handling |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copied row | T574 height to top of ROPS (Series 4 p24) | 141.3 in. | 3590 mm, same as overall length | Sister T494: 102.1 in. Measure the tractor |
| Swapped units | 3620 hitch lift (Series 4 p22) | 1500 lb | 3306 kg | 1,500 kg = 3,306 lb: read as 3,306 lb |
| Units disagree | T474 lift at 24 in. (Series 3 p28) | 1764 lb | 673 kg | 673 kg ≈ 1,484 lb: plan on the lower until the manual confirms |
| Small unit mismatch | T494 / T574 lift at 24 in. (Series 4 p24) | 3050.6 lb | 1384 kg / 1387 kg | 3,050.6 lb = 1,383.7 kg: T494 column consistent |
| Callout vs table | T574 transmission (Series 4 p13 and p24; model page) | “3-range hydrostatic” callout; F8 × R8 synchro shuttle in table | Use the table; confirm the tractor’s transmission and PTO rating |

A value that repeats the row above
TYM’s 2025 Series 4 Specification Guide lists the T574’s height to the top of the ROPS as 141.3 in. | 3590 mm, the same pair as its overall length three rows up. The T494, on the same frame, lists 102.1 inches. When a figure exactly matches an unrelated nearby row, and differs sharply from a sister model, treat it as a copy error.
Units swapped between columns
On page 22 of the same catalog, the 3620’s hitch lift is printed “1500 lb | 3306 kg”. The 4820, three columns over on the same page, reads “3306 lb | 1500 kg”. 1,500 kg is 3,306 lb, so the numbers are right and the units are swapped. The check is to ask whether the larger number is attached to the smaller unit.
Pound and kilogram figures that disagree
TYM’s 2026 Series 3 table gives the T474’s lift at 24 inches as “1764 lb | 673 kg”. 673 kg is about 1,484 lb, and 1,764 lb is about 800 kg. Unlike a swap, neither unit is the other converted. When this happens, the safer course is to plan on the lower figure until the operator manual settles it. The unit-conversion guide covers the arithmetic.
A feature from a different configuration
The T574’s Specification Guide and model-page table list an 8F × 8R synchro shuttle, while its key-specification page and a model-page callout show a “3-range hydrostatic transmission”. The T474’s overview mentions a “Hydro-Max HST” beside a table that lists a 12 × 12 mechanical shuttle. Treat callouts and marketing text as secondary to the specification table, and confirm the configuration on the tractor itself, because transmission changes PTO power.
Take these questions with you.
- Does any figure exactly repeat a nearby unrelated row, or differ sharply from a sister model?
- Is the larger number attached to the smaller unit anywhere in the table?
- Do the paired units agree when converted, and if not, which is lower?
- Do the feature callouts describe the same transmission and equipment as the table?
Keep these questions with your exact tractor and attachment details.
