But John, just some quick questions about the TC35/40/45 machines. Are all of them built on the same frame? Do all use the same basic components? Pick your HP and you can get the TC35 in various trim levels, with various transmissions, and in 2 or 4wd, but basically the tractor is the same tractor, the options are different.
Now compare that to JD, where you have the "10" series and the "20" series. Those are completely different tractors, different engines, differnet frames, different everything.
And compare that to Kubota, they have the B, L and Grand L in their mid size line up. The are totally different lines of tractors built on different frames, with different engines, etc. It is not a matter of trim level and a series of options as NH offers. I fear we are splitting hair on the issue, but to me, a TC40 is the same "basic" tractor regardless of whether it is a DA or an A option level.
