We're in the same boat! Other than my "simple" repair is a hydro seal on the internal pump of my TC-24D but same mega-hour labor bill. Looking at Boomer 24 and the Kioti 2510 since that is what the dealer handles. I don't want a new machine but will have to see where the chips fall. The free loader offer applies to the CK2510 too? I saw that offer on their web site but the 2510 wasn't listed despite the other CK models being there. Might just need updating since the 2510 is so new.
Wow, that sucks. 4k damage from a $10 part? Do they have a shuttle shift in the 2510 size range? Seems like that would be a no brainer.
I'm looking at Kioti's, compared to that "other orange" brand and the green one....prices seem pretty good for the Kioti's, at least new.
But, I'd like something that lasts a good long time, and not necessary going to cost $4k in 8-10 years of ownership.
