Yeah I see what you are saying. I will have to dig in and find out exactly how much it will cost, with the loader subframe, etc. It very well may be an extra 800.00 or so. But still, is it just me, or does 10,500.00 for a 2004 TC35DA Hydro 4x4 with 80 hours seem like an awesome deal!? The guy that is selling it is a friend of mine, and he takes VERY good care of his equipment. But he is very spontanious when it comes to money, and he found a zero turn mower that he wants to replace his current mowing rig (TC35 with finish mower). Now he just wants payoff for the TC35. All he has done with the tractor is finish mow for 80 hours. I looked at it yesterday and it looks like it just came off the showroom floor.

I see that most of your implements for the TC29D will fit the TC35DA, so that's not an issue. If you go into this with your eyes wide open about what the loader upgrade will cost, then I'd say you've found quite the deal. With patience, you may be able to sell your TC29D and come out ahead. Will you get the finish mower with the TC35DA too?

Also, don't forget to check into transfer of warranty. You should be able to do that at the same time as the loader purchase and the NH dealer should help you with that.

Jinman, well your "bad news" was right on the money! Fact is, my TC29D has a heavy duty bucket, and a toothbar. The final price on the loader, installed, WITH heavy duty bucket, toothbar, and quick-tach system, was 5,500.00. So I decided not to go through with it. My wife and I are expecting and we were only going to do it if we could come out even. So I think I will stick with my 29D for a few more years

. Also I mentioned earlier in my post that my tractor was a 2001 model, it is actually a 2003 model. I don't know why I typed 2001. Just wanted to correct that.

Yep, that Jinman is a stickler for the details. Looks like a frosty one comming his way.

Typhoon, I should have suggested this before, but you might also check on what a Woods or Bush Hog loader would cost. If they are significantly less, that might make the deal a consideration.

That is just such a good price on the basic tractor; almost 1/2 price. I really hate that the deal hasn't worked out. Somebody is gonna get a heck of a deal. If you didn't already have the TC29D, the TC35DA would have your name written all over it. $16,000 for a nearly new TC 35DA with a brand new loader is a great deal. If you put something other than the 16LA loader on it, you might come out for $15,000. That would put you right on the verge of turning this deal at no cost if you sell the 29D. ...just a thought.
