This story is to weird to post on just one brands board. Approx. 1 year ago I bought my first tractor. A Bota B7510 w' 60" MMM. Needless to say, I love the little guy, but just need (want) more grunt. So I have been procrastinating over the past couple months on what I want to upgrade to. I have had really good luck with the local Bota/NH dealer. You guys are right, if you find a good dealer give them business. The folks at Davis Equipment in Ashland, KY are great. I put them to the test yesterday when my sitter cancelled on me and I had to take my 3 and 4 year old boys with me. Anyway, back to my story. I had decided on either a B7800 or a TC29DA/TC33DA. I know it is like apples and oranges but I had to compare. I first jumped on a TC33DA and was driving the tractor around the lot, trying out all the bells and whistles. I was backing the tractor up to turn around and when I let off the pedal it kept going. Normally that wouldnt be a problem, but I was backing into a busy city street. I grabbed the brake and got it stopped. After my heart started beating again the ole girl wouldnt move. I couldnt believe I had broke a new tractor. To make a long story short, a linkage on the HST had popped loose. We all agreed that was a sign that I wasnt supposed to take a blue tractor home. So I bought the B7800 and monday it comes home. I am in no way bad mouthing the NH, I couldnt justify the xtra money for all the bells/whistles anyway. I just thought you guys would enjoy a weird story early this weekend. I will post pics of my new B7800 after I get her good and dirty.
