Wow, this thread has been quite for some time. Well, just giving update since 2013.
700hrs on my Tz24DA, still running strong. Still using it to move 5 hay bales every winter around the 10acres for 9 horses, clearing and tilling about an acre of foodplots on the lease every year. And general work around the property.
Have yet to have the issue with the frame breaking, kids have seat crack. I have the 10LA FEL and have cracked the metal around the hydraulic cylinder 2X, just beat it down and reweld. To many heavy loads of stone.
My issue is I cannot keep tired on the front, keep rolling them off, then destroys the bead by time I catch it. only tire I can find is Carlisle tires. $50.
No electrical issues, but change those fuel filters every spring like clock work. This is a must if you want to keep power up.
I do have poor reverse power in high speed, always use low speed.
