I may take a few hits on this, but it is hard to hit blue against a high flying blue background. Long time for me on this wonderful site.
I spent "some" time yesterday with a mechanic-salesman going over the new TC 35 to 45 series Boomers. He said to look at the older 1920 (ford) model for the specs and you would be close. This is not an entire ground up new design. They have wrapped the boomer style and features on both some new and old ideas.
When looking at the TC33, there is no shuttle shift with gears. There is on the new larger model. All three new models are on the same tractor. Just a choice of horse power. Yes all hydros have cruise but then so did all the gears with a hand throttle. The seat is a winner and will bother the other colors. So is a tool box. Rather than tools for breakdowns, tools for implement adjustments and a sandwitch because you don't want to park and eat with this kind of power and ability. My SO and I laugh with James and the TC45 story. She is only 5" also, but very capable.
What I'm yacking about is it is great to see this new range of Boomer and to see it compares with the orange mid "L" series and 4500 greens.
With no supersteer, you get a shorter conventional boom and bucket loader because there is not the clearance problem with the front tires.
Bottom line, $18,500 for TC35 with loader (R4 tires) and an option for sub frame mount 6" backhoe @ $3000 or less.
My blue eyes just got bluer. Momma says blue looks good!! whatever gets the job done.
Incoming!
