Calling all TZ24DA & TZ18DA owners...

[bandit67]

Just thought I'd compile a list of TZ24DA and Case DX24E owners so we can compare notes, share info, ask questions, etc. Guess I should add TZ18DA and DX18E owners, since the only difference is the motor size.

I seem to be getting more PM's from guys looking to purchase either of the 2 machines, so it would be nice to have a list of folks who own one that I can refer them to also.

I have a TZ24DA with a 60" MMM and 2 stage snow blower.
I took delivery 2 weeks ago and have 6 hours of seat time.

OK, I'll add you to my list. Between Case and NH, so far I have 3 of us. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] 2 Case and 1 NH, all 24 hp.

I'm sure in time, there will be a number of us CNH sub owners to compare notes with each other. My dealer has 2 more DX24E's on order (he's been waiting since June) with customers for each of them, so hopefully, I can add them to our 'little' list at some point.

I got a TZ24D with a 60in MMM Plan to add a rear blade before winter. Got around 28 hours now. All good so far

I have a TZ24DA with about 25 hrs on it now with the 54 in MMM. I just got a 48 in box blade. Like the tractor real well, sometimes wonder if I got one size to small.

OK, we're up to 5 now - 3 NH, & 2 Case.

Aside from an O-ring blowing out (pinched when assembled) on one of the valves on my loader control at 8 hours, and the gasket where the front driveshaft goes into the tranny case (leaking) at 24-26 hours, I'm pretty pleased with the little machine's capabilities.

And with the bar tires (just switched from the turfs), it's like a bulldozer now. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] I just added the Pat's Easy Change, and man, is hooking up the rake and rear blade a whole lot easier - no more dissassembling all the links on the 3ph lower arms.

I have a TZ24DA w/ 60" MMM and 10LA Loader. I have about 48 hours on it so far. If someone else has a loader and has a digital camera, I would be interested in how the hose from the control valve is routed under the foot rest deck. Mine is between the two pedal controls and seems to be wearing from the pedal movement.

[bandit67]

Yep, just checked - same thing with mine. I'm going to tell my dealer they better re-route that line, or they'll be picking it up a number of times over the course of the warranty period to replace that hose. The forward pedal has already worn through the hose's outer rubber sheath to the braided steel mesh underneath. The reverse pedal is also wearing, but not as far. There's also a slight bit of wear at the edge of the foot deck.

Looks like that'll end up being a TSB fix pretty soon.

I got a TZ18DA w/54"MMM a couple of months ago, have a little over 30 hours on it now.
Use it mostly for light hauling(got a 17CF dump trailer), and mowing the yard and my grass airstrip.
Love the little bugger, been absolutely problem free!
I had a short period of time where I thought maybe I should have got something just a wee bit bigger, but it's fine. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Besides...how can you beat one gallon an hour fuel burn!!

[Garrabo]

Thats a good looking tractor, How does it spec against the BX-22 -23?
