<font color="blue">Well, Folks...
It arrived today... and I've already been out playing with it <smile>...
My New (to me) TC35D with a Tooth Bar and an ATI Grapple on the NH FEL, an NH Backhoe, and LandPride PH25 Post Hole Digger, LandPride RB3584 7' HD Rear Blade, LandPride RCR1672 6' HD Rough Cutter.
The tractor is in great shape, with ~1300 hours (though the tach was busted, so he replaced it with one he had that had 980 hours on it), and replaced the hood, lights, and grill (they'd been dinged pretty good). Replaced some other little stuff... and the tail lights were replaced, though not with stock items.
The backhoe's had very little use, but the bucket was rode hard and put away wet <grin>... but he cleaned it up and fixed it up and the tooth bar is nice, as is the ATI grapple. I have some work to do learning how to use the bucket with that grapple on it (can get in the way if you're not careful).
One thing that's got me is that the grapple is on the first remote, but so is the backhoe, so I have to change a quick connect from the backhoe line to the grapple line to switch which one I use. Since I had him add two remotes, I wonder if I can do something that will make that less of an issue... or perhaps can get some kind of switch instead of having to do and undo the quick connect to switch. Would really like to be able to use them both without having to do any switching... Anyone got thougths?
Went out and did a little cleaning up of a drainage ditch that I need to clean up so the melting snow has a place to go... OK, till I get the hang of this, I'm messing it up, not cleaning it up... but I'm learning <grin>
Anyway, I'm a happy camper... I'll attach some pics...
