Took del on TC24DA

[fdny_hick]

Well my machine was delivered Tuesday evening.
I want to thank all who gave input helping me decide on which machine was right for me. I finally decided after putting the 2 machines side by side at Messicks (B7610 & TC26). Both were nice machines but the TC was a little nicer in my book. I happened to find a leftover TC24, because of the 0% for 60months I grabbed it. Very happy with this decission. I just finished mowing the lawn, the mower and grass system work great. I can hardly wait till snowfall to try the snowblower.

Thanks again guys.

I tried to post pics. But I'm computer illiterate and it would not take. I'll keep trying.

Any problems so far , how has she been treating you ?
Thinking of picking up a T1110 this spring with the 60 inch mower and would like to hear some feed back from owners with some time on the small boomers.
Thanks in advance

I have a 2003 TC-24D. I'm approaching 1,000 hours on it. Couple of minor problems. The bolts kept falling out that holds the mounting plate for the MMM. A stronger red Loctite fixed that. The mount for the seat broke, New Holland took care of that repair even though it was out of warranty. There was a recall on the loader fittings. New Holland fixed that and while it was there (still under warranty) the dealer fixed a hydraulic leak - just a hose clamp that needed tightened. Other than that it has been extremely reliable. I've used it hard and probably abused it as well. It has stood up to the task. I'm still very please with my decision from 5 years ago. Don't plan on a buying a tractor anytime soon, but if I were too, I wouldn't hesitate to go NH and would probably lean that way.

Should be a good mowing rig for you. Keep an eye on the bolts for your mower mount kit (in bell housing) and consider loctite on your gear box bolts that connect to the mower deck. Mine loosened up in a few hours. Over all we have been happy with our TC-23, loader, and 60" MMM. Our mount kit loosened up after about 150 hours.

As much vibration that comes from the mower deck, it pays to give it a quick go over before you use it. Also consider greasing it more often than the 50 hour schedule from NH.
