    Help w/clutch use on Hydro TC33DA

    I carried this over here from the main "Operating" section because I need NH-specific advice. My TC33 Hydro has a clutch, which according to the NH manual is to be utilized anytime the drivetrain is shifted to/from hi, mid, lo range or neutral (and also when engaging PTO). My NH dealer insists...

    Quick Attach Lessons Learned?

    I will be changing out my box, rear blade, and a homemade weight rack constantly as I clean up 14 wooded acres and build up a long driveway. I think a 3PH quick attach will help greatly. Am I right in thinking an I-match style (3 hooks) will be more useful than the one advertised on TBN (2...

    FEL Root Cutter

    In some late night TBN reading I remember where somebody used several feet of heavy angle iron, slotted one end so it would slide over the bottom of the FEL bucket (V down), and sharpened the other end so it could be pushed into ground under a tree and cut the roots. This focused the cut on a...

    TC33DA - all set up now

    Found a camera. This angle shows off her fearsome side - it's clear there's a horror flick in her somewhere. Anyway she works great here in the woods - grapple is great for moving old RR ties. Just wish it would stop raining here on the East Coast - the Boss is wondering why the new...

    Improvised Straight Front Blade?

    From reading some previous threads, I'm wondering could I pinch a length of 2x12 between my grapple & bucket and have a cheap straight blade for light snow and loose dirt? Could even improvise some offset blocks on either side of the board to get an angle. Wonder how strong the grapple pinch...
