The TM190 is a far bigger more powerful tractor than the TW15, your right about the TWs going I up in value as far as machinery ever does, but the TM is a better tractor for pushing/pulling heavy things, I know from experience in a boat yard.

Bit of googling proves this in figures:

TM 190 weighs 14782 to 17470 pounds

TW 15 weighs 11355 to 16680 pounds

TM190 are the heavier tractor and lift far more on the links

TW 15 7,150 lbs
TM 190 17,085 lbs
