Well, I have 12 hours on this new tractor and am pleased with it. I have tried out the backhoe, chipper shredder, log splitter, fel, box blade, and forks. In regards to the chipper it is a Woods 5000. It worked really well chipping and pretty well shredding, however you do not want to put branches in with vines on it. It clogged up and stalled out the tractor. It only took a few minutes to unfasten two bolts and clean out the vine debris. It has a pretty powerful pull for shredding, it felt like it was going to yank me in. The log splitter is a Spee Co (made in Golden Colorado), a hydraulic driven one that attaches to the 3 point hitch. It worked great. You can operate it verticle or horizontal. My son (with my supervision) loved using it. Have not posted pictures yet, but will soon.

Just an update with this mower. The engine that died was a kohler and they were contacted. They said that the oil would not have ruined the engine. They also said that with the routine maintainence they had done the engine should have lasted longer than 5 years. As the story goes, warranty was up and "sorry there is nothing that we can do". She took the dead mower to another dealer and traded it in on a Cub Cadet mower. I hope she will have better luck with this one. Thank you all for your input in regards to this message.

Hello, I have read almost all of your postings as we are shopping for a tractor that we desperately need. We moved onto our property 2 years ago, which consists of 80 acres in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada’s of Northern California. It is mostly covered with medium sized oaks, pines, brush and granite outcroppings. The terrain is hilly going from 1700 feet down to 1600 feet and then up to 1800 ft. There are a few areas where it is so steep that I would be concerned about driving a tractor, but they are also areas where we want to drill post holes. Right now we are getting bids on a TC40 or TC40D with SS and loader. Last week we were visiting the nearest NH dealer which is in the Sacramento Valley and he recommended we do not get a hydrostatic transmission because of the hills. Our needs are brushing out, mowing (4 acre spring fed meadow), posthole drilling, moving rock, hauling cut logs for firewood sales, dragging the arena, land clearing for outbuildings etc. In most of the postings people recommend hydrostatic transmission. Does anyone else with non-level terrain have hydrostatic and feel very happy with the way it functions? Or would you concur with the dealer's advice that we do not get hydrostatic. We would appreciate any input. By the way we have thoroughly enjoyed reading the postings and are now much more informed. Thanks Kat and Gary
