New TC55DA

[Cargun]

I sign the papers today on my new TC55DA EHSS with 270TL QA loader, brush guard, right side step, and Bradco brush grapple! I almost bought a JD 4120 last year, but put it off a year due to finances.

This will be my 3rd summer at my current place and I just couldn't wait any longer to get out there and start working.... tons of brush piles, dead trees, and rocks that need moving. I couldn't pass up the finance deals on the TC55DA, along with the fact that neither JD or Kubota had a directly equivalent machine (deluxe compact with 55 horse, other than the new GrandL 40's which they weren't dealing on).

And my dad said if I ever moved somewhere with soil that I'd have a decent hobby farm tractor too, so hopefully this tractor will last me a lifetime (just like my grandpa's old 2cyl Deeres).

Stay tuned for operating reports over the next couple weeks.

Congrats on the new blue ones. I thought the 45 was great and the new 55 is spectacular. Never thought I would be making up things to do just to get seat time. It is like fall colors here with blue, yellow, green, and orange tractors. ( and a white skid steer )

Congrats Cargun on a awsome tractor!!!!

Im signing papers tomorrow on my new TC55DA with EHSS QA 270TL loader QA pallet forks 48" 3500# rating brush guard and right step and rear work light and rear remote and sunshade and new 759C backhoe with 16" HD bucket. I think thats it maybe more that i forgot. I couldnt pass up the March deals. They really want to get rid of these and 2.9% for 8 years plus $500 rebate plus $1500 cash back if not financing and dealer gets super discounts if they sell in March making them drop the price. This is as good as your ever going to get on a TC55D. They may extend the deals into April but i didnt want to take the chance. They ordered me one and it will be a week or two before they get it all set up with Hoe and serial number says it was build last month in Feb. so one of the last before the model number change. I will be sending pics in hi-res for you to see before i get it dirty. cant wait to dig with the Hoe. I have tractors now so the thrill of a tractor isnt really there but i have never had a Backhoe.

Guys, i've had my TC55DA since Oct 05 and i'm happy for all of you! You will enjoy the tractor every single time you get on it....It's so pretty you can go get a lawn chair and a good glass of tea and just sit and stare at it!! Have fun!!!

Glad to see a bunch of additional happy owners. I hope to be riding around on it on Monday! You're right, the March deals were too good to pass up. I knew I needed a 45 horse tractor, but I wasn't getting the numbers I was looking for, so I had been looking at 31 horse units, which was the bare minimum to do what I needed to do. EVERY dealer I went to cringed when I told them what I wanted to do and that I wanted to use a 31 horse tractor. When I found out I could get the TC55 for nearly identical monthly payments to the cheaper units, I was sold! I just hope I can afford the diesel bill for the first few months when I'll be driving it around during every free minute I have.

Very funny ROTO; Can't help it if I have a mon, tues, friday tractor. By the way along with your RED maples ... did you happen to see a RED IH 2544 ? Or did someone disguise it by coating it in blue ?
I can't help but adopting some of the give aways. Someone has to save them from the parts brokers. It is hard to believe how far the quality has advanced in the past 20 years..

well the IH2544 is yellow actually. The 544 was red and this is same tractor but industrial model with hydro. 1969 too. I kinda left that out. maybe i should paint it blue or sell it. I will just hide it behind the building so people cant see it hehehehehe.
