You're very welcome. When I got my TC40D, I paid 17,500 for it. They're going for 19-23 grand used, and that's just for an "04 like I have. I feel a tremendous amount of pride that I was able to wait, because trust me, I got a great machine.

The wait was tough though. I went with Uship.com and had it shipped here from Tennesee (I live in Pennsylvania) It cost me 500 bucks. For that price I had to wait nearly a month. In that time, we got hit with HORRIFIC snow and I was kicking myself. I learned though, I'm glad I made that choice because I saved several hundred dollars by waiting.

When you pick a machine (and as I said, I don't know very much about tractors, I'm just getting my tractor skills back after YEARS of not using one) you should be very selective and informed. Don't jump on the first deal you see, because you might see a better one down the road and kick yourself. Ten thousand dollars is a LOT of money. I'm sure it came hard to you, like my money did to me.

I'm sure you'll love your NH when you get it though. I'm being unbiased when I tell you that I truly love my machine. I could have gotten a green one, or an orange one but the blue one was just right for me. Not dissing the other ones, I love ALL tractors if they're quality. I just like the way NH is set up, it works for "me". I was knocking stumps out of the ground two days ago and couldn't believe how easily they just TORE out of the ground, roots and all. I was looking for stumps in the neighbors yards LOL and wanted to ask if they wanted my FREE services just so I could do it some more. My yard is all torn up now haha. Hey I'm 39 and feel like a little kid on this thing. I think it's adding years to my life. Please take your time and get something that will make you as happy as mine does me... Who ever said that things don't make you happy should be smacked upside the head. I'm pretty happy on the NH. It's the first thing in my life that actually listened to me when I told it what to do LOL, I'm a married man if you know what I mean ;-)

[QUOTE=keffa12;169318] Thanks for replying Haunter. Your right i should be more patient, i just have certain goals around my home to get done this year. Also by no means did i reject auerbachs idea of good tractor bad engine, infact i really like the idea, its just that im too busy, and i mean that in a good way. Also im trying to get my wife set up on her business too, we just moved here last june and she trains horses and i want to give her the complete facilities to do that rain or shine, or inthe case of MN a crap load of snow. Again Auerbach and TheHaunter thanks for your advice and comments, I need to learn to be patient i guess is the moral of the story. [/QUOTE]

looking for NH compact tractor

I honestly don't know, I checked the manual and nothing was stipulated. I thought that a fuse area would be ridiculous to house in a location that would be entirely aggravating to access.

THE GOOD NEWS THOUGH! I'm kind of embarrassed to tell you this.

Removed the red filters from both tail lamps and WALLAH!

The left bulb wasn't plugged in properly, now it is and it works fine.

The same goes to the right one, it was literally just laying inside, rolling around. That one was put back in and oh yeah, I have tail lamps and don't have to go any further.

I went out today and moved the stone around that I destroyed in my driveway and also smoothed out some ground that was torn up. I was AMAZED at how much power these loaders have. When I ran a Bobcat I expected it, but found myself very surprised at how this tractor (and probably all tractors like this) move dirt and rock so easily.

You would have driven by and thought I was a pro on this thing, I think I finally got it. Now I'm trying to gentle the way I move the lever. It's decent but I think I could be a little more fluid with the movements.

I'm really glad I got on here and asked for advice, not sure if I mentioned it, but I have that new ROPS pin coming in the mail, can't wait to have it 100%

OHHHHHH, the only other thing that concerned me is that the rear Woods mower lowered itself over a period of time when the motor was off. My buddy moved it out of the garage to work on the house and left it up.

Is that normal? I don't see any fluid leaking, the lines are perfect and it runs 100%

Very strange. It didn't happen quickly, it was over an hour or so.

Bows to you sir, I surely hope it does LOL.

[QUOTE=kthompson;168967] Think you work with EMS so this might come right to you, ear and eye protection. WHen you wind that engine and a mower up you are sitting on a lot of noise. Also the mowers will throw more than you think and further. As to the tractor verses zero turn mower, have both went with tractor and bought the ztr for trimming and unless both my wife and I are cutting at same time we seldom use the tractor now but for price a CUT tractor and good finishing mower is hard to beat. Really just let your cheer leader help you by moving it once in a while (suggest low range to get use to it) and maybe running mower in wide open area and trying to explain the need will pass right on bye. Or be a man and do the smart thing...get a big bow and place on it and tell her happy what ever occasion it is honey!It never works for me but it might for you. [/QUOTE]
