tc29

jim_n_nh · Aug 23, 2007

I looked recently at a used tc29 with loader, backhoe and cab. The owner buys and sells and uses a friend to do the negotiating. We could not close the deal but I liked the tractor. If a friend had not offered me the use of his backhoe I might have been more aggressive.

Anyhow, what is your opinion of the Tc29 hydro?

THX,

I have a TC 34DA which is the same frame size I think
Hydro is great. I had ( stiil have,for sale) a Ford 1320 which is the same size but 20 HP. I have had that machine also Hydro for 11 years. Have never had any problems with it at all. Runs like the day I got it. Wanted more HP.

Welcome to TBN and the Blue Forum

! I purchased my NH TC29DA new (less than an hour logged) in 2005. I have had no problems and/or complaints at this point. It appears that the oil cooler lines were replaced prior to purchase. I would recommend this unit to anyone. Jay

Just an update on this tractor. It disappeared from sight and I went on to buy a Kioti, I don't like to borrow.... Well in a small publication I saw the same tractor for sale except the tractor has been separated from the backhoe and cab. Each is priced individually. I offered $600 less than he was asking and now he still has it. I really liked the tractor but one is enough. I do not think selling it as separate components is going to help but........

Anyhow

You can never have enough tractors

Two is much better than one...

Exactly how I see it.

I am spending the next year and a half in school changing careers so $$$ is a little tighter now. Funning thing is I offered to trade my previous tractor and cash. He declined. I sold the tractor and with the cash I was going to offer he would have come out $1000 over what he was asking. You can bring a horse to water but...

An update to my previous update, I was online today and the tractor is on xxxxxxlist.xxx again for less $$$ than I offered him.

So you could take the cash from selling yours and buy his with money left over to buy a book for the class you're taking. Sounds like a good deal to me.

BTW, I have a DX29 with 250 hours on it. HST is working fine although sometimes I wish it was gear. At other times I'm glad for the hydro. It depends on what you do and how often you do it.
