Hi, I also live in Northeast Ohio. My thoughts on the pricing would be to check the prices from internet dealer and see how they compare to your local dealers prices. When I was shopping for my TC33D two years ago I was able to use this information in my search and found a couple of dealers who offered me the same price, of course I had to pay Ohio sales tax for the local tractor. I don't use my tractor to mow but from the sound of things you intend on using yours do a lot of yard work so possibly the lightest tractor with the turf tires would be a good choice. I have R-4's on mine and when going in the yard I leave some marks unless the ground is really firm although some of that could be caused by having 300# of rear wheel weights. It was mentioned on another forum that in the Class I Boomers [35,40,45] the same amount of power was being transmitted to the ground by the hydro no matter which model you owned so if that is the case with the Class II's the only thing you gain is pto hp by going to a higher hp model. I have pulled logs out of the woods with my tractor and a friend of mine has doen the same with his 1720 I believe which is a 26 hp. I've rambled on long enough so good luck with your search.

Art being the tractor expert he is brought up a very good point when he mnentioned the use of a hydraulic top link. I forgot to mention that when I responded but since I have one I can tell you that it makes the use of bb even better. Having the instant control at your finger tips is really helpful especially when working in dirt.

When shopping and eventually buying my TC33D back in mid 2003 I found the Deere's and Kubota's to be higher priced. Check the prices of some of the internet dealers and see if your dealer will compete with them. It's a great size and powered machine and you won't be disappointed with one. If the dealer is a good dealer then you won't have any problems should service be needed in the future and if he is not a good dealer then look else where for your tractoring needs as no matter what color you buy from him you won't be happy.

Do these prices seem reasonable

There are always trade offs with any multi purpose machine and you can buy to big of tractor contrary to what some folks will tell ya. I live in the woods and have a long driveway but not nearly as long as the one you have and if'n it were'n me [as my father-in-law use to say] I 'd opt for a tractor with a good amount of ground clearance for going into the woods and one with a pretty fair amount of horsepower to maintain the driveway. I would think that a machine in the area of 30 hp would serve you well for those issues and a separate mower for the lawn care could handle the rest. I ended up with a New Holland TC33D and as Tim the Toolman Taylor says you can never have to much power, it's size and power has served me well. Good Luck and enjoy your new machine.

Not to sound confrontational but the "filipino's great work ethnic" and "not following through and doing what they say they will do" does not sound like great work ethnics to me but rather like marginal employees. To my way of thinking showing up on time and doing your job well goes hand in hand no matter what your nationality. I feel bad for every hard working individual who loses his or her job due to unfair labor practices but as long as we as a people knowingly reward companies who do this it's going to continue to go on. I had to get this off my chest so I'll get off my soap box now and put it away.

You'd have more than that in a new TC33DA and backhoe, in fact I have more than that in a 2003 TC33D and a 2004 backhoe which I bought both of them new. For all appearences it would seem like a good deal.

I can't speak od the advantages or disadvantages of a cutting edge as one came on my bucket but having a toothbar has been a real plus in my book. It truly makes the fel much more versatile and useful.

Rodger, I have a TC33D [33hp] with a Woods box blade. Some things I have learned about using a box blade are - having rear hydraulic top link makes all the difference in the world on ease of usage, having a box blade a little wider than your rear tires is helpful, setting the depth of your scarifiers makes a difference, having some kind of extra weight for the rear wheels [ I have wheel weights] helps with traction especially in my case as I have R-4's. Once you learn the nuances of how much bite is enough you'll believe that a box blade is one of the greatest discoveries since sliced white bread.

To big a mower for only 22 pto hp.

Would go larger than a 5ft.

In my actual experience I had a 45 hp tractor with a 72" and the grass under our pecan trees would drag it down untill I had to creep along. I switched to a 60" and could mow the 20 acres faster because I could keep my ground speed up.

Bigger ain't better--- you and the tractor will be stressed.

Back in June of 2003 I bought a new TC33D - hydro, industrial tires, rear remote and a 7308 front loader with a heavy duty bucket for $17,235. I know that the New Holland loader isn't spec'd as high as others are but it will lift all that you can put in the bucket and it sure beats using a shovel. Hope this info helps.

Thanks, I took it apart, found the large piston. No grime, fluid clear. I didnt disasseble the valved bolted underneath the lid below the piston, but operated it and put it back together, it will move now, but wont lift any weight. I will take it apart totally this weekend.

I have and sell the Woods 990 and let tell ya that is one heck of a cutter.

It does not drag down like a straight blade F.M.

Yes it is costly probably about $3500 but it will last forever and of course you have "Woods Care" to back you up.

I see them all but the 990 with the quick change blades and the single duplex belt and unequaled gear box it is a tool.

Now only you know the limits of what you can run and yes a small bat wing would be awesome but if not practical so be it.

You should be able to mow at a pretty good ground speed I ran one behind a DK35 Kioti and she works great.

Just my thoughts (plug)
