I am very impressed with the TC35. It has the 16LA loader and I am amazed at the amount of power it has for lifting. I have 80+ hours on it with no problems. The 12x12 shuttle shift is easy to operate and the synchro transmission makes for easy shifting on the fly. It has been able to perform all tasks I have needed to perform including a lot of dirt work, including road bed preparation on 600' driveway, moving large limestone rocks, grading of yard around house, landscaping and also mowing about 12 acres with a SQ84T Bush Hog. The loader joystick is conveniently located near your right hand near the seat which is an advantage over those placed up nearer the dash. This placement makes for less fatigue in holding your arm up while operating the joystick. The fwd/rev shifter is located to the left of the steering wheel and shifts smooth enough that you can keep your left hand on the steering wheel and use a couple of fingers to shift to reverse while operating the loader with you right hand on the joystick. This makes doing FEL work very convenient and comfortable. The joystick location also allows easier access to the seat from the right side of the tractor if required. I would easily make this same purchase again. I would probably purchase the optional deluxe seat that swivels for box blade work if I had it to do over again. But still I am very pleased with the TC35 just as it is.
