TC35DA

[johnday]

Got my new TC today. Traded in the other TC35 for the DA. Drove around the block and played with all the bells and whistles. Sorta wish I'd have gotten the D model to start with. The neatest thing so far is the little button on the joystick that downshifts for you when you need a little guts running into a pile. Also, cruise control, got it on all my trucks, but a tractor? Another nice thing is no gear grinding, the trans should have a little easier life, I think. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Ron; Figured you'd notice that. With all the wind today I've had some cleanup to do. Can you wait a couple days? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I only had time for a quick spin and reinstalled the loader, bumper, and a couple other little touches. I promise, the photos are on the way if I can remember how to size them.LOL. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Congratulations on stepping up to the TC35DA, John. Since you kept your loader, did you have any problem getting a loader-ready tractor? Did you have to trade in your old loader and get a whole new one? I know you'll love that deluxe joystick. People tell me all the time that they are amazed I don't ever have to change gears. I just smile because they don't notice my right thumb doing the "work." /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Also, cruise control is a built-in feature with a gear tractor, but you have to have it on a hydrostatic transmission so you can rest your right foot. If you split your brake pedals on the left, you can press one or the other and cruise will not be disabled. You have to press both pedals at once or use the switch to turn it off. It takes a little getting used to. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

#6 tooltrailer and RED truck, all hooked up and nowhere to go

#7 this is a shot of my rear worklight, the DA model doesn't have a pigtail like my old one!

#8 Hope the new style headlights shed enough light for night work. The top two are worklights, the bottom ones are road lights with hi/lo beams

 

[johnday]

Last one, this is what I use to move stuff around that's too large for the tool trailer

Jim; No problem with the loader at all. As you thought, I kept the one I had. They just had to flip/flop the subframe. Also, all the little personal touches I had on the other TC I removed and are putting them on the new one. The only real problem are the lights I had on the ROPS. Seems there's a new Ohio law regarding tail/warning lights, so on this one they are mounted higher up on the ROPS. I'll figure something out.

Thanks for the tip about the cruise, the owners manual is typically vague in that it didn't mention tapping the brakes.

The valving for the loader came off the old one, for some reason it had the deluxe valve, but it wasn't any use other than saving me some bucks when I switched over.

So far, I'm impressed with the hydro, and the hi/lo feature on the joystick is really handy. Just can't wait to start playing in the dirt with this thing /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Ron; Yeah, it got a little cacaed up yesterday when I took it for the first ride, the streets were wet and there was a little mud from some construction going on. Ya don't think it'll hurt anything, do ya? /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Nah. Just give a bath and a coat of wax. It will be OK. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
