Just took delivery

[dwl]

Thanks to all who responded to my post of 9/16. Saturday I took delivery of a NH TC24DA with a 12LA loader. Box Scraper to come this week. Thanks Bob Skurka for your photos of the visibility in front of the NH vs Kabota. The loader specs, closeness to dealer, this form and lots of research led to the decision.

Thanks all who responded.

I'm still in the decision process so I'm really jealous! /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
I was very impressed with the NH TC's. I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

I'm considering a boxscrape myself. Keep me posted how you come along with it. I hear there's a bit of a learning curve. I had no problems getting the hang of the FEL and feel pretty comfortable in handling it but I'm wondering if the box scrape might take a bit more practice.

Danny, once you get the hang of setting the top link to the right settings for what you need to do, you'll be boxblading with the best of them. It's not really hard, it just takes some experimentation to learn where you need the front and back angles to do the job at hand. You'll love having one. Make sure you buy one with rippers as some come without. They really make a difference in knocking down high spots and then dragging with the rear blade area. John

Thanks John, all tips appreciated. I have one question, how concerned should I be with the width? My rear wheel spread is 5 1/2 ft so my brush hog is six foot and my Mahindra 2810HST handles it fine. Danny

I am still awaiting delivery of the box scraper. I will give you an update after I get it and use it some.
