Head-to-Head Comparison
KIOTI CX2510 vs TYM T25
KIOTI and TYM are both Korean-built, and the T25 is the TYM people put up against the CX2510. On paper they're closer than the badge loyalists on either side want to admit.

Specs come straight from each manufacturer's own published literature. A blank marked "Not published" means that brand doesn't publish the figure for this model, not that it's zero.
Where the CX2510H wins
- Engine. A 100.5 cubic inch turbo diesel against 77.3 cubic inches naturally aspirated. Same hp class, a lot more engine behind it.
- Hydraulics. 11.3 gpm against 6.9. You'll feel that gap in loader cycle speed every single day.
- Weight. 2,308 lb against 2,046.
- Ground clearance. 13.4 inches against 10.2.
Where the T25 wins
- Three-point lift at 24 inches. 1,230 lb against 1,203. Call it a wash, but the TYM's number is higher.
- Turning with brakes. 94.1 inches against 9.0 ft.
- Warranty on paper. TYM publishes a 72-month powertrain warranty for non-commercial use in this class.
Our take
The T25 is a fair machine, and that warranty is long. Where the CX2510 pulls away is the drivetrain: more displacement, a turbo, and nearly twice the hydraulic flow. That's the stuff you can't add later.
Service matters too. We stock KIOTI parts and fix what we sell, right here in Astoria. Come drive one.
About the measurements
- TYM doesn't publish a 2WD/4WD designation for the T25 in its US spec material, so the drive row is blank on their side. The CX2510 is 4WD.
Competitor specs come from each manufacturer's published spec sheets and product pages, pulled July 2026. Manufacturers change specs, so check the current sheet before you buy. Competitor brand and model names belong to their owners. We're a KIOTI and LS dealer, and this page says so up front.
