I Love My TC45DA
Model Year: 2006
I don't have much to compare it to. My only other tractor experience was a Ford 8N, my TC45DA works great, starts good every time. I used the front end loader to clear my driveway of snow, and I have been starting to use it for plowing in my garden, so far it does everything I have asked of it. I do try to make sure to use the engine block heater when it is cold out, with using that for an hour or 2 it starts great even in weather in single digits. If you don't use it when it's cold, it starts but you can tell its not happy until it gets warmed up.
Pros: Great power, front end loader is useful for so many things.
Cons: Haven't found anything to complain about, it wasn't free?
