For the several weeks, getting the switch to stay in "run" position has been getting more and more difficult on my TC-35. Preheated the glow plugs OK and started fine but wouldn't stay in run position after starting. Clearly was something amiss in the switch. Assuming it is like nearly all...

Transporting tractor \"long\" distance It looks as though I may soon be moving away from New England. Any thoughts on the logic or ill-logic of having my TC35 transported to wherever I move (don't have that location yet, but it will probably be more than a thousand miles - FL?) What options...

Weedwacker - string vs nylon \"blades\"? I need some advice regarding the best way to doing heavier duty trimming with my weedwackers. I have always used the three "free spinning" nylon head apparatus on my Stihl for heavier trimming and it has worked OK for me. That is what I originally...

Well, this is a bit off-topic but it's been buggin me and I wanted to get a handle on it through other's opinions. Yesterday I was at my local Kubota dealer looking around. They stock a fair amount of used equipment so I wouldn't class them as really only pushing new tractors like some dealers...

Yeahh, I know this is way off-topic but I really respect you folk's good advice and judgment, so I'll post it! I need to to get a small "garden" tractor simply to finish mow with. My TC-35 is really too big to use on the lawns and manuever around and my venerable old JD 317 has just about had it...

I just posted this in another thread and hate to double post and apologize in advance. My TC35 goes to the shop tomorrow! I was under it on Friday, loosening up the parking brake linkage and saw something weird on the paint. It hadn't really been used since it had the tranny fix back in...

I am curious what kind of hours folks put on their tractors yearly. I put on about 200 hours a year. General FEL work - snow, gravel, grading. Pulling logs out of the woods. Brush-hog. I would like to come to some kind of a rational/logical correlation between hours and lost value. Mostly...

This is reallyof concern to me especially after JINMAN's post below. Occasionally, My TC35 stalls out or I "unthinkingly" turn it off when it has pressure on the tranny - lately mostly from moving snow into a bank, not having enough rpms and having the tractor stall when it is headed uphill...

Just curious as to what other TC hydro operators run for RPMs for various tasks. After my TC35D went in for it's tranny recall/repair, it doesn't seem to have the same umphh at the same rpms. I generally don't like to run it much upwards of 2000rpms -- too much noise and just seems too fast...

I have a 2 year old TC35D, 400 (pretty light)hrs, R-4s, FEL, brush guard, in great shape. I think I want to move up to a TC45. Any thoughts out there on a good asking price for the TC35? Need to have some idea before I give the move much consideration at all. Thanks, Steve

Am looking at a L2900 DT (1997) -- 660 hrs, 480 FEL and Woods 7500 Hoe. Overall in good shape. Dealer is asking $16,500. Good price? Bad price? Wait a little longer, look a little farther? Thanks
