First of all, thanks to all of you out there for helping me get to this point in my decision. I have found so much helpful advice on this forum.
I have looked a orange, green and blue and just about every model in each of these, and have decided that the TC33D(A) is for me. I think its just the right size for my 5 hilly acres and the features and price really beat out the competition. And most important - I really like it!
Anyway, my dealer has only the older model TC33D on the lot and I think he really wants to see it gone before ordering up a new TC33DAs. But I think I want the new TC33DA model, why not, NH must have been designing this for quite some time and its better, isn't it? After much cajoling, I have persuaded him to order me the DA if I want, or he would give me a better deal on the D.
So here's the choice I have to make (keep in mind here in CA I'm sure are higher than in most other parts of the country):
$18,500: TC33D w/loader and supersteer
$19,500: TC33DA 14LA loader w/quick-attach, grille guard
The 33D is certainly priced a lot better, since supersteer is about a $1200 option, and quick-attach and grill guard are only about a $500 option.
I'm not sure I even need supersteer anyway. I will not be doing finish mowing with this machine. I'll be working on removing an apple orchard, renovating a creek/woods area, tilling a garden, field mowing. Although eventually I would like to plant a vineyard and the better turn-around might help, although at that point I may want a different tractor just for that purpose.
I appreciate any input on this. Is the DA model worth the extra $$? What about supersteer?
Thanks!
