I finally took delivery of my TN65 yesterday. Here is a few first impressions...
Stick a hammer and a screwdriver in the toolbox. I went to get a box blade from behind a mobile home where I left it when the 8N broke down. You guys weren't lying about the paint in the lift arm balls! The drawbar pin is a pain to use as a hammer.
The class 1 top link pin so thoughtfully supplied by New Holland is too short to be any good, so get a real one before trying to hook anything up.
Tighten all of your hydraulic lines on delivery. It's a sickening feeling to see oil spraying all over your brand new loader.
Ag tires on the front throw a lot of water while running on a wet road.
I thought the Japanese were bad at translating owners manuals. The Italians can be just as entertaining. I'm still trying to figure out what the "cascade connection" in the transmission is. I'm also gonna take a wild guess and use brake "fluid" instead of "oil".
A military surplus 7.62 mm ammo can fits perfectly between the left side loader upright and the floorboard. You can never have enough storage space and there is already a mounting ear down there to get you started.
I'll post some more when I've had more than two hours of daylight to play with it.
