I paid about the same as Larry in Michigan for my TC29D a year ago August. I've been moving snow (lots) here in SE Michigan and have been able to do just fine with my turfs & no chains. Never have had a traction problem, steering is a little problematical only if I have to much down pressure on the FEL.

I would consider a 72" finish mower rather than a 60". The TC29 handles it just fine & mowing goes quicker. I use a Landpride Model 1572 (72") rear discharge on my 5 (hilly) acres. I found out from Landpride I can get mulching blades for it. I plan to order those soon.

A six foot blade and a five foot box are about right for your tractor. Most any box will do the job, but for the blade I'd recommend that you look at the high end blades if you are going to use it for any more than casual use. For snow anyblade is fine, but for dirt with rocks and roots you want the heaviest blade you can afford. My preference is for one with tilt, angle, and offset - all adjusted quickly with pins; not bolts. BTW, the better blades have end plates as an option. This gives you a blade that doubles as a box and is probably more versatile than the box. You don't get the rippers, but on a light tractor I haven't found much use for the rippers.

AHA!! Thanks RickB for proving yet again that an old dog can indeed be taught -- if not new tricks then at least new facts! I had been given bad information by my NH guys re: clutch and passed it along. Should have actually tried the clutch to confirm its opreration of PTO AND drive train. As far as the amount of "airplay" this topic takes up on these forums, I lay it partially onto a desire to "have it all" and the fact that with the small frame Boomers you kinda lose one of the old line features - (while admittedly gaining a while slew of improved & new ones!!).

Mich: The topsoil used to finish filling an old cellar and constructing a leeching pit came the same way. Free to the trucker in exchange for building a road. Seems like that sort of deal may be common. At any rate, it would be good for anybody who does a large excavation to recognize that the topsoil removed is valuable. I suppose some contractors would tell a person they're doing them a favour by hauling it away.

Box scrapers take more traction than blades, especially when the scarifiers are used. Generally, a tractor can manage a longer blade than a box scraper. I run a 6' box scraper on my 24 PTO HP tractor that has turf tires. I am traction challenged, mostly when using the scarifiers, but the traction problem is manageable. I like the longer blade because it's better for side grading and it gives some blade outside the rear wheels.

Here's some more information on the JOHN DEERE 790 ,I use R4 tires on mine and it hasn't damaged the lawn yet. Using the rear mower makes removal for grader blade,tiller,backhoe,boom,ect,ect, A real easy job. The live clutch allows you to change gears from foward to reverse or higher gear by pushing the clutch half way in and still have your pto running up at speed and load. If you push the clutch all the way down it stops both pto and gear movement, It's a nice feature.I will let you know the height of the rops tomarrow my closest guess is around 7' with R4 tires. The weight of the 790 4 wd is 2150 dry. It has more lift capability than the 4100 and 25 pto horse power to drive most attachments. It doesn't have a cup holder like the 4000 series tractors do but for the money you save and its a great tractor I still think its the best tractor in its dollar class. Check out jplan.com tractor site it will give you some great comparision over the different models and what there owners rate them!

Dealer is Nolans, north of Lapeer (east of Flint). I already have a brush hog, but still looking at rear blades. Hoping I can choose one that won't bend or break, the first time I hook a rock or root!
