Is that the old style TC18?? I didn't think the new loader fit on the older style tractor?

murph, not sure, but I was under the impression that the 2003 TC18 used the 12LA but not the '02 and earlier models?

Regardless, that is one heck of a nice little tractor at one heck of a great price.

I believe you are correct Bob (as usual /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif) about the TC18 as Inspector has the 12LA on his TC18 that he purchased last year about the same time I purchased my 24.

BTW, I forgot GM dude /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif, Congrats on you new little blue beast. You are gonna love it.

Guys I think he means a "left over" as in pre TZ18 . Since they are no longer building a TC18, it would be a left over, old model.

I bought my TC18 last September, and they were getting hard to find even then.
It's a great tractor, and has done most everything I've asked of it!

Yep. My TC18, bought in April 2003, has a 12LA loader. The same model is no longer available. It was such a good tractor for such a good price, I think NH did away with it so they could introduce new models where they make better profit.

$9995 is a great price. I paid a lot more than that, although it has hydrostatic, which adds about a grand.

Right, it was a late 2003 model TC18 with 12LA loader that Brim Tractor in Washington State had on their lot. I purchased it late week Sept 30,2004. The week before I bought, they had sold three TC18's. I bought their last one. The dealer told me that NH discontinued the TC18 model so that the TZ18 could compete with the BX Kabota model.
Thanks for the feedback,
