Did you build a firewood processor? I have looked and all are very expensive unless you want to get into the business and are close to a major city. I would certainly consider building one with on farm treasures. Need to harvest about 200 ash tops that were cut last spring before the ash bore came in from Mich. <br>

Does anyone have any good plans?

It was my impression (from another message board) that this was pretty much a problem for 35 hp boomers, and not the 40 or 45-hp boomers. The poster on the other board stated it had to do with the 3-cylinder engine on the TC35 sitting back futher and as such needing a longer shaft to the radiator compared to the 4-cylinder engines. When the frame flexed, the longer shaft provided hit the shroud. Also there was some mention of misalingment of the shrouds at the factory.

I have had a TC-40 with a 16-LA loader for around six months now, much of it loader work. I have done some loader work that would have probably made the dealer wince from the loads I was putting on it. I have had not nor have I seen any evidence of fan blades hitting the shroud. From my point of view, the Class III boomers are as strongly built as any compact out on the market.

I would look really hard about getting the SS if you have lots of hilly land to work on. The New Holland Dealer around here will only get SS if the customer expressly orders it. He thinks it is too dangerous for use on hills, especially by persons who may not have that much experience with a tractor, let alone one on a hill. It all comes down to how fast you make the turn and at what angle. Sometimes, we all forget and turn too hard. With SS, they feel that too hard can be too much.

I currently have a TC40 with no SS, and am amazed at how tight the regular steering performs. I cannot imagine how tight the SS is, although the Boomer literature does a good job of showing.

As for the loader, I have a 16LA loader and it seems long to me as well. I know the 17LA has some modifications to deal with SS, but either way, the 16LA or the 17LA is very long on this tractor. However, I think the loader has exceptional performance. Also, the loader tractor combo is one of the best looking duos in the business! It does not look added on as an afterthought like some other brands.

Basically, I think your idea of trying it out before buying is a good one. Best of luck and keep us informed.

I was in the same situation a little over a month ago. I settled on the JD990 and the TC40. I loved both, but bought the TC40 since the NH dealer would come down more than the JD dealers around here. The TC40 also had an independent PTO which is really nice compared to the Live PTO on the JD990. I've used and continue to use both independent and live PTOs on my father-in-laws farm and really appreciate the independent versions. The dealer around here orders all of his TC40s with the folding ROPS and the Deluxe 3-pt. hitch which were two items I really appreciate.

On the JD990 side, I really like the all-metal construction and knowing it was a mature model built by Yanmar. It was hard for me to leave the Green and Yellow beauty, but I wanted to keep more of my green if you know what I mean. Regardless of my situation, go with the dealer you feel comfortable with and I'm sure you'll be happy with any of the ones you have listed.

My tractor did fit fine in the garage with inches to spare all around. I have some hill I mow sow I had them widen the rear tires to give some more stability. As a result, the width of the garage became suddenly important! Regardless, we have had no trouble getting it into the garage. So far it is a great tractor and I look forward to many years of use from it. I'll post a picture of the setup in a couple of days. Thanks for the other information on the toolbox. <br>

I went to the NH Dealership this weekend thinking I would buy a toolbox for our new TC-40. I really just wanted to buy the regular rectangular box that can be setup on the back of the tractor. When they rang up the price, it came to $54.95! All that for a black plastic toolbox with a NH logo molded into the box lid. I told the dealer thanks but no thanks. As he walked back to the stock room he said under his breath, "I got mine at Wal-Mart." I went to Wal-Mart and sure enough, there was a toolbox, red but nearly the same size for $3.00!

Enough with my preamble. Has anyone bought one of the Deluxe toolboxes and installed them on a regular Class III Boomer? I was wondering if this toolbox that has the cupholder is worth it. If not, I'll shell out the $3.00 and get the Wal-Mart version.

Thanks.

Thanks to all that responded. We finally received the Boomer on Monday of last week and it fit fine into the garage stall. Thanks.

We have just finished up on building our new home and now we are staring down a large area of dirt that will need grass. Is it too late to start planting grass in the summer? Should we wait until the fall when cooler weather comes along? I would like to go ahead and plant some grass, spread the straw, etc. and I don't mind to water it. What do you all think?
