MackVision,
I brought my TZ24DA about 18 months ago and now have about 155 hours. Its a good little tractor, excellent mowing machine.

Take a look at my pictures, I have cut in a driveway using a box blade, it took a while but did the job and I have added a front bumper/grille guard.

I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have mine.

Dave

My negative purchases were two cars my wife wanted and a GMC Jimmy that I wanted.<br>
<br>
1. 1975 Chevy Vega GT wagon. This was a good looking car but basically a piece of junk, brought it new for $4K and sold it a year later for $3K.<br>
<br>
2. 1969 Volkswagon bug, brought it used in 1974, the wife wanted it, as it was a stick shift automatic. Paid about $1300 replaced the transaxle and sold it for $1000, kept it about 6 months. Then we got the Vega.<br>
<br>
3. I brought a used 1983 GMC Jimmy. I kept this for about three years and used it to pull the ski boat. I had to replace the camshaft and when I traded it, the front main seal was leaking.<br>
<br>
My favorite all time was my second, car a 1963 white Chevy super sport with red interior. It was a good chick car. I brought it the summer before my sophomore year in college.

MackVision, I too had a hydraulic leak on a hose that routed beneath the tractor. It leaked on top of the mower deck. I took the tractor to the dealer for the 50hr service and the leak was a warranty repair. I believe the problem was a blown seal.

He kept the tractor for about 10 days. This was the first of December '04 and I told him I wasn't in a hurry to get it back. Now a year later I haven't had any problems or repairs with the tractor. Dave

Gridiron, I have a NH TZ24DA with a 60"MMM, a 48" box blade, and a 6' rear blade. This is a good well built tractor. It's an excellent mowing tractor, which is my primary use.

However, I know the BX is also a good tractor and some of my friends who have JD's also have good tractors, even though you may tend to pay more for the green color.

Base your decision on your dealer, how each tractor preforms from a test drive, and what brand tractor is most prevalent in your area. If you buy green and most of the tractors in your area are orange or blue you may have delays with repairs and parts.

In spite of what JD Dave thinks, the NH, in my opinion, is one of the better looking tractors available. The new style lights not only look good but preform very well.

Good luck with your purchase, Dave

When I was growing up my father had a AC D15 with the tricycle front. I always enjoying using that tractor. From what I remember we had few problems. I like the two speed hand lever.

A friend had a D17 which I like better because it was a little larger and had more horsepower. Both tractors were early '60's.

I believe one of the best tractors AC made was the WD45 from the mid '50's. I spent a lot of hours on one from raking hay to sickle bar mowing.

I have a New Holland CUT, but AC tractors have a special meaning, as they are the tractor I used growing up.

Rwacho, I also have a TZ24DA with about 130 hrs. Occasionally, I will have a starting problem similar to yours. I can move the transmission into neutral and/or sometimes have to gently step on one of the foot pedels to get it to start. Also, there is a two second delay if you try to start and it fails to start. I think that sometimes this is my problem that I try to restart too quickly.

Where is the transmission safety switch located, I may need to check it?

Kwschumm, this idea maybe too late. If you construct 9' basement walls you can install your hvac, electric, etc. on the surface of the joists. This way you won't have to cut or drill the joists. This should give you about a 7'10" clear ceiling height.<br>

Thanks Oneace for your response. I'll pursue the SAE wiring standards as I would like to know more about this subject.

Peters, I don't know anything about ICF but I am going to research the product. I don't know if builders are using it in the local area, if not it maybe be too costly. Thanks for the info. Dave

I am not familier with the 2210, but on my NH MMM I raise the deck all the way up and there is a lock position. Then I can operate the 3PH independently of the mower. I would expect yours to be similar.

Eric, I purchased a 4' box blade for my NH TZ24 and it does a good job of dirt moving and leveling as well as leveling rock. Check my last picture. I used the box blade to cut a 140' new driveway and then used the box to spread the #2 stone placed by the quarry.

It took a number of hours to cut the driveway, but my only cost was the box and fuel. More important is seat time and it sure beats the office.

I also have a 5' rear blade, which I brought used for $50 last spring. Haven't used it yet.

Which one you purchase should depend on your use.

Right now at 3:41pm in central Kentucky the temp is 95, 30% humidity, with a 1 mph wind. We are in a moderate drought and little to no rain forecast for the next week.

Tomorrow my outside work will be done in the morning and the afternoon spent in the pool with a cold beer. Dave

Dieselpusher, you may be right on the number, I didn't think it was that many, but don't know for sure. There is an '83 at the museum in Bowling Green. I assume '83 was the first year of production at BG.

Have you seen the new Cadillac being produced at BG? It's a two door coupe built on the corvette chassis. I saw one at the GM dealer a couple of months ago. It's a nice car. Dave

I purchased my NH locally about 18 miles away. The dealer performed warrenty work on a hydaulic leak. I also had the 50hr service performed by the dealer. So far I am satisfied with the dealer and his service department.

Oneace, I too have been considering purchasing front weights for my TZ24. Can you supply more information as to where to purchase after market weights? Can you also get an after market mounting bracket, or would it be best to purchase the bracket from NH. Thanks Dave

Funchy, sorry to hear about your problem neighbors. Unfortunely it can happen anywhere.

I live in central Kentucky and land here would be cheaper than Maryland, depending on location. This spring a 15 acre tract of land sold for either $225K or $250K, I don't remember which. This was for an unimproved slightly rolling tract and no utilities.

In Fayette County, Lexington, this same tract, if you could find it, would require another zero. In eastern Kentucky you could probably remove a zero, but it would be hillside.

There are good buys to be found in the more rural areas, and taxes would definitely be lower. Good luck, Dave
