Do you have a TC 18, TC 21 or 21 D?

banjobj · Sep 15, 2001

I am curious as to whether anyone has ever done a survey as to how many users of TBN have a NH TC 18, 21 or 21 D. If you do and would like to be part of my survey please respond. I also would like to know when you purchased it new or used, number of hours and any problems that you may have had and price paid along with equipment. I think it would be fun for us small BLUES to know who we are. Thank you in advance.

Bought my TC18 3yrs ago....no problems. Hydro, 60" mower, 60" blade/full hyraulics, and suitcase weights. I think it was $14.5k.

I have 2001 TC21D With 52" FEL, 60" MMM and a 48" kingkutter brush mower. I bought it new this spring. I have 90 hours on it now. I paid 16,500 including tax for the package. The only problem i had was one of the fender mount flashing lights....the bulb shook loose out of the fitting and was laying inside the lense!/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Other than that it has performed perfectly and i must say i work it. I mow grass average 4 hours per week, and back on goes the loader plus alot of use with the brush mower clearing my weed and sapling choked woods. Ive had it 5 months now and i put 90 plus hours on it, Larry

I wont care about the 24 series. The engine and size of this machine is perfect for what i do. It clears perfectly sized paths in my woods, mows fantastic and moves enough earth or other stuff in the bucket for me. Heck, i moved my half full furnace oil tank with the bucket and chains. Little light in the ass , but i took it easey. It will be perfect for my snow removel also. The 3 point hitch is very rugged for the tractors size. Its a nice size tractor for the 5'4" 145 lbs guy that i am!!!/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

I have a TC18, that I bought in March new and only have 40 hours on it, manual transmission, ag tires, Woods RB72 rear blade and a Bushhog 420 Squealer rotary cutter. Total cost is just under 10k. No problems with it.

I should add that I bought my TC 21 D new in February of 2001. I paid $14,900.00 for HD 60" FEL, Block Heater, Rear Work Light and loaded rear R-4's. Shopped around up here in Maine and it was the best price at the time. 41 hours and no problems, Thank you to all that have replied to my survey, it is nice to see some activity on the NH site. I haven't personally been too active in the last few months, but have tried to occasionally check this GREAT SITE. Thanks to Muhammad and TBN for providing this forum for us all!!!!!

I don't know if I would be interested in the TC 24, it's hard to say. I'd have to question the TC 24 VS TC 25, really doesn't make much sense other than tractor frame size etc.
