New Holland's catalog listing of width is measured to the middle of each tire, not to the outside edge. My TC35D with R-4's is just under 6 foot wide at the rear tires. That way the tires will fit inside the path of your 6 foot bucket. I live in VERY hilly country and so I had the r-4s dished out and loaded by the dealer. This gives me almost 7 foot width in the rear. I will have to do something REALLY stupid to ever roll.

The TC35/40/45D repair manual (set of 3) cost about $210. I decided to order (book #1) for $75 to see what it was about. In my opinion I wasted my money. The 00 general section was an elaborate repeat of Chapter 1 in our owners manual and an expanded specifications section. The Section 10-Engine was 147 pages of good info for those of you who want to do an engine job or replace injectors, valves and etc. Section 10 Clutch is for those of you with a clutch, Section 21 is for those of you with a standard transmission, and Section 23 has the transfer case and drive shaft.<br>Note. these are the ONLY sections, I expected ,inocently, that there would be many other sections which would be of interest to me. There was not. There is not a section 2 or 3 or 4 or 11 or 12 or 22.<br>I will never live long enough nor will I want to give my TC35D a motor job or valve job.<br>For my needs, The only value I found in this Repair Manual was a total of 10 pages of troubleshooting tips/correction flo chart.<br>Book 2 would be for those of you who want to tear apart your HST, differential, or hydraulic system. Book 3 covers power steering, electrical and body.<br>Thought for the day "save your money and let your dealer fix it" Have a great day, Frank

I have a TC35D with loaded R-4's and a FEL. In upstate NY in the last 3 weeks we have had a 30 inch and a 23 inch snow storm. Both heavy wet snow. The tires hardly slipped and did a great job for me. I will never need chains.
I have no experience with clay but I do know you can NOT mow your lawn with AG's Frank

Most brands and models of tractors can have the rear tires and rims switched sides so that the rear tire width is wider and thereby safer. My TC35D became
12 inches wider (6 inches per side) by having the dealer switch them before delivery. Some models actully have 3 or 4 widths available by switching the relationship between the hub and the tire. If you leave the FEL on the added weight on the front will keep your front end down. Be careful Frank

To Gary Mason, Check your top radiator hose when your dial is at the bottom of the green area. If the top radiator hose is warm/hot then you know the thermostat is opening and you do NOT have a problem. If the top hose is cold and the small drain bypass hose is warm then you know you have the same problem as the rest of us. Your engine MUST get to 160 before the thermostat will open. If your engine is running at a temp under 160 then you are going to have a deisel that will crap up the valves in time and give you big problems. Frank

To Larry in MI. and all the rest of you with TC's that will not warm up. I to have a TC35D and my temp gauge never moved. Your coolant is bypassing the thermostat by flowing down the drain tube on the right side of your engine and into the radiator and right back into the engine via the bottom radiator hose.
Try this just as a test to prove this theory. Clamp off with a pair of vicegrips
the rubber drain hose (gently so you dont ruin the rubber hose) In 10 minutes or less your gauge will read in the middle of the green. Then call you dealer and tell him to install a shut off or new drain valve to stop this flow of coolant.
This is the 1/2 inch black rubber hose on the bottom right that the drain valve is connected into. Be careful your vicegrips dont get into the fan blade. NH is working on this and is aware but they are keeping it a secret. ALL of you who have been writing about puting cardboard in front of your radiator to get it to warm up also have this problem. Try this test then call your dealer and insist on a fix. Diesels must run hot, you will damage your engine if you run it cold.

Well I did it. Ordered my TC35D today. Price was great $18,200 included 16LA FEL, loaded tires with tubes, welded hook on bucket and rear wheel valve stem protectors, and block heater. I decided on R-4 tires because they seemed to be in the middle of the road. Besides they are 8 ply instead of the 4 ply R-1's.
AND R-4's were $550 CHEAPER than R-1's. When I asked about this they told me that the reverse is true of smaller tires where the R-1 is cheaper than the R-4.
Thanks for all your help that enabled me to "make up my mind".

Hi you all- I read TC45D's have been recalled to repair a HST problem. Have any of you also had a recall? Is this a big problem?I'm ready next week to buy a TC35D but will wait if HST's have a problem. Thanks also for all your other posts recently. You are really giving me the info I need to decide. Thanx

Do you have experience using R-4 tires on a 4WD, 35 hp, with loader on SNOW.<br>Do R-4's push snow without chains? Would I be better off with AG tires. I am going to purchase a new "Boomer TC35D, next week and I have my choice of tires. I know I will be using in winter to move snow and in summer on my fields and in the woods. Any thoughts?<br>Thanks Frank

I want to buy a TC35D but I live in northern NY and have been told that others have had problems warming up their Hydrostatic Transmision. Have any of you had problems with your Hydrostatic Trans in very cold weather, like "needs 30 minutes to get the oil warm enough so you can move". Or noisy transmission and very sluggish when below 10 degrees? Would this cause problems/damage to the transmision? Please send your observations. Thanx Frank

I didn't realize it had only been a year. This board has saved me so much time and frustration, not to mention money. I've never had any bad advice from the rest of the posters. You deserve a pat on the back for all the hard work you've put into making it a success. BTW, hobby farming, landscaping and turf management get my vote.

You should be able to do about $1,500 better. I paid about $16,000 for all you have except rear blade plus I bought foldable ROPS and box blade.

Thanks for all the advice and ideas. I think I've got a gameplan now. The farm/logging winch looks like a great idea and I'm following through on it. I think I'll put a front-end loader on the big, new tractor and run the compact with the FEL and the tiller. Still might need a stump grider though. It'll take time but we'll get it done. Once again, thanks for the help.

The 4200 hydro does not have enough weight to stop its wheels from spinning when it cannot pull a load and never stalls from a lack of power. If someone thinks that the 4200 is underpowered at the wheels (not the PTO), they need to learn how to operate the tractor.

Same problem. Same loader. Dealer replaced indicator and it now works properly. I suspect they ordered the wrong indicator.
