Update
So, loader her up, put the 6' mower on the back and drove down to Cherry Hills (big bucks land, huge bucks land, we want customers down here, i.e. why LC is working on a Sunday)
About 3 acres, all subdivided up and a total weed mess. (3 to 4' high)
Take off slowly, figure range 1, high should be plenty (takes you to 5.9mph, should be fine), whines a lot (hydrostat) but gee, this is great for picking up the corners, zip zang zoom, go around and do all the tough stuff and hand it off to the wife.
Not because I wanted to, but because it rides like (*&^^%$#$#. Totally needs to be weighted, that decision has been made. Geez, I mean it was a rough pasture, but it was flat knocking me around. (loader off). It does turn pretty darn good and good visibility.
The wife proceeds to break it.
No cruise, no turtle/rabbit, tach goes dead.
Battery light is on. We're 50+ miles from home, we're just going to finish it and then it can go back. So, ended up mowing in II-low, because I-low I would still be there. I get it loaded and I'm a little grouchy and the wife says "check the fuses"
I check the fuses, one is blown. When we got home I replaced it, it seems to work now (although I wonder why it blew)
The TN is a better tractor, better designed, more solid, better ergo's, etc. The TC however is smaller, the TN would not have been the tractor for this job.
The TC is much faster than the MF, about 50% faster, chugs right thru this stuff.
We will be getting the tires weighted.
The A/C wasn't keeping up and it was only like 90 degrees when we finished (and low humidity). I'm a little concerned about that. Still better than out in the open though.
