Hi all. I have changed my username to TC18inNY. Anyway, I picked up my tractor tuesday and I have been so busy using it, I hadn't taken any pic's until today. What a great machine this thing is. It handles the 48'' tiller and 60'' finish mower without even flinching. This pic includes both of my babies.

Hi Dave and welcome ! I bought my TC-18 in '02 . Have 200 problem free hours on it . I looked at NH first ,dealer is only 10 miles down the road, then checked out the rest. JD-too expensive,Kubota-too small, Cub-just a big lawn tractor(don't like tube rear axles). Dollar for dollar it was an easy choice. Make sure the service work is done right and on time and you'll have a good machine for a long time ! Dave S. (dass)

Thanx Dave. I got a heck of a deal from a very small used dealer. The TC18 is a 2001 w/268 hrs, 4wd, Hydro, rear tire chains, 48'' Howard tiller, 60'' JD RFM all for $7000 delivered to my house. I'm going to have a FEL installed in a couple weeks. Seems to be the perfect sized machine for my needs.

Congrats. It looks like you have the makings for your own personal tractor pull; my money is on the TC18, the bike just doesn't have the torque. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yeah but the bike will go 152MPH. It amazes me the differences between the engines. The bike produces 108 Brake Horsepower with about 45lb/ft of torque. The tractor is 18.5 HP don't know the torque. The bike will rev to 14000 RPM and barely will run at the tractors 2800 RPM limit. By the way, the bike is for sale if anyone is interested. Very collectable as there aren't many of them. I drove to Indiana to get this one.
