Not tryin to be mean, my 454 is shuttle and it has 16 in a 4x4 config. Our ls 573 has 12 in a 3x4 config, 8 would be unbearable. But I love both of them.
I'm a new T574 owner. So far the tractor has been great after about 10 hours of use. My biggest complaint/frustration is that the PTO shaft cannot be placed in neutral to align the splines when attaching implements. This feature is available on other TYM models but not the T574. It is very difficult, if not impossible to turn the shaft by hand on a batwing mower to align the splines. This forces the operator to go in and out of the cab while the tractor is running and pulsing the PTO in order to achieve alignment. This places me in an unsafe situation in attaching PTO implements when the tractor is running (I really don't want to turn the tractor on/off 5-6 times in order to align). I know there are after market PTO connectors that would make this easier. But really, why do I have to spend another ~$440 or more to get this ability.
I have figured out that when in the off position, the PTO shaft turns by hand about 1 spline distance. It helps a little but still not as nice as free spinning.
Love my T574!
Hands down, one of the most informative videos on the specs. Thank you!
Bought ours 6 months ago . Pound for pound the best tractor your money can buy .
Great information!
Did they fix the dash throttle shorting out on the ignition wiring??

Couldn't you just put on an overrun clutch there not that expensive and should allow you to do this
Have you mowed with your batwing yet? And do you have the hydro or geared version? Just wondering how a hydro would pull a batwing.
I have used it to mow most of my farm. It handled the batwing fine even on my hills.

Hydrostatic repair cost ? worth it or no
