Well, Ive put 50 hours on my TC40d in the last 30 days and have learned a lot.
1-Most importantly that a stump will completely stop my tractor and whatever a slipclutch in my cutter is, it doesnt work. Ditto for old crossties.
2-Some roll bales are heavier than others-which I found out after lowering one off a wagon with fel spear, hit the slightest off camber dip and lifted a rear wheel-a very paralyzing experience. Fortunately the bale was being carried very low so not much happened, but the pucker effect was there.
3-You really need a brush guard.
4-The shop door is not adjustable by bucket contact.
5-Five straight afternoons of mowing overgrown stuff results in an allergy induced sinus infection.
6-The NH cupholder thing sucks.
7-I need some remotes
8-Pretty new tractors dont stay pretty for long
9-Cruise control on an HST is a necessity.
10-Dont stop mid refueling to do another little thing or youll spend an afternoon looking for your gascap and picking up the little plastic leftovers of your fuel can.
