Picking up my new Bushog ROTARY CUTTER this weekend to be used with my New Holland TC55DA with EHSS. Should I expect to have any issues cutting with this combination? The cutter is an 8' pull type. I'm hoping this tractor and Bushog will last me the rest of my life.
I must admit that I frequently wish I hadn't gotten the EHSS model but the price was right with only 65 hours. I grew up on a Massey Ferguson 50 and the new clutch even after 600 hours still doesn't feel right since all it does is pull a little 1/16" cable out about 1/8". I wish I had gotten either a HST or just a regular manual clutch transmission. Anyone out there feel the same way?

I used to have a TC55DA EHSS. Had a Woods RDH8400 on the back of it to mow my fields and it worked good. The power is there, but you have to wind her up a bit when you get into tall, thick and wet grass. The 2.2L Turbo works good when you give it juice, but lacks on torque, specifically on the bottom end. Never had any issues with the engine or the tranny itself. However the hydraulic return hose blew on mine and I was not able to move the tractor. You loose pressure on the clutch packs and it will behave like you put it into neutral. The EHSS is better than the SSS. You don't have to worry about the clutch getting stuck, faster maneuverability over the SSS. As for HST, I don't think that was an option on the TC55DA. If I remember correctly there also was a recall on the PTO clutch back then. Get the rear tires filled. Good luck!
