Paul... I know the feeling... I too have this neat new TC29D and no snow to play... er... work in. You certainly got a good price! I went thru pretty much the same decision process as you (except the "orange" dealer seemed OK). So far so good with mine - hope yours is the same.

Burgie... This'll prbly set off a firestorm here... I got my new TC29D too late in the season to do any serious mowing, but it'll definitely make black marks on concrete (low speed) when turning at full lock, so I imagine it would damage turf too. I got mine without supersteer, so it has a very short wheelbase, just like the JD 4XXX series. I suspect the dirtly little secret is that this behavior is typical of any of the compacts. (Plus, my old Ford 8N did it too!) I expect you'll get other responses. My basic opinion is that if it's fine finish mowing you're after, you might do better looking at specific-purpose mowers.

Kimball... Not an answer to your real question, but I remember from my years of growing up on a farm that sickle mowers are (1) *very* labor intensive (lots of vibrating parts wanting to come loose, plus sharpening takes lots of time and patience), and (2) subject to immediate, dramatic failure if the sickle hits a rock, stump, etc. Now that I have my own few acres of grass to keep down, I use a bush-hog-type rotary in the rough stuff and a riding mower around the house.

I hate to be the wet blanket but because the dealer had it does not mean all maint performed properly. I bought a 1215 and the oil had been changed by my dealer. THe thing kept overheating until I figured there was too much oil in it. Their mechanics were used to bigger stuff and didn't think. Luckily no damage.
BTW dont put four whole quarts in a 1215. Te He!!:-)

Rick... Sorry for the late reply! I tried to post a couple of times earlier, but never got thru... I just bought a TC29D from Wichita Ford Tractor. I live about an hour north of Wichita. No big problems, but a couple of the pre-delivery check items had not been done. When I complained, the salesman apologized profusely, picked up the tractor, re-did the stuff, and delivered it in 3 days... all on their nickel. I'm satisfied with that. Otherwise, I'm enjoying it! Didn't check on a 33; I paid $14,068 for my TD29D w/o supersteer.

Chris... I just got a TC29D with a NH 7308 loader. Since the tractors are the same physical size, I would expect yours would take the same loader. Compared to a big-tractor loader, it's a little light weight (in every sense), but for my needs it's fine. I very much appreciate the ease of installing and removing... both only take a couple of minutes, no tools. I didn't look at using another brand loader, but I would guess you might give up the easy on/off feature. Others may have more experience than I!

My (new) tractor is a NH TC29D, but I'd like to hear comments from owners of any color tractor:<br>1. Conditions: Engine off, HST neutral (foot off pedal), range-shift mid or high (NOT neutral), tractor on solid smooth concrete with slight slope down/front (the apron in front of my garage), brakes off. Given a little shove from behind, my tractor will proceed to gently roll down the slope. My only previous experience with HST is on my lawn tractor, which will not budge under similar conditions. Do I have a problem here?<br>2. Conditions: Normal operation, pushing into large dirt pile with loader (i.e. up against immovable object), 4WD, range-shift low, Tractor will spin all wheels. OK so far. BUT range shift mid or high, will neither spin nor stall engine. I thought hydros were more positive. Do I have a problem here?<br>...And yes, I have carefully checked fluid condition and fill level... it's clean and right on the

Just took delivery of a TC29D. Turf tires, mostly for mowing, but I decided to get a loader too. (glad I did!) In low range, mine will readily spin all four (well, 3 anyway) wheels when pushing with the loader against a dirt pile. In mid range, it will

Hi Art, I would appreciate any information you could provide regarding the installation of a bucket/loader on my Satoh 650G 27 hp tractor. It has hydraulics so I won't need a pto driven pump.

I maybe could have done a little better on prices, but I think not much... this dealer and others I have talked to sell 'em as fast as they can get 'em. They didn't have the tractor in stock, but once the salesman was convinced I was serious, he located one at another dealer right away.

you are correct! I paid 750 which included safety chains but no clutch. I should have bought one with a clutch since the pins seem to break often although its may be to early to tell!! $3.50 each time.
