New TC24D Finally took a photo!

SacandagaBrad · Oct 10, 2003

Well, had it a week, used it a few times and finally took a pic today. So much rain, the yard is still too wet to mow, but had to try anyway now that I have the deck level the way I want it. Seems like it will be a pleasure to mow with. Lots of mud, turfs float it along very well. Bring on the snow, can't wait to try the blower - OK - I'll take another couple months of Indian summer first.

Looks pretty nice Brad. That snowblower sure sticks way out. You will have to keep the blade on to keep the front wheels on the ground. What size is the blower?

Nice machine, even nicer yard. Great view. I wll try not to be jealous.

Nice looking rig, but why does the snowblower have a flagpole in it? Maybe snow gets so deep up there, you need it to find it? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The blower is a 52" Woods, and yes, I thought it stuck out there quite a bit myself. It could be cut down fairly easily, but I'm going to use it a while before I mess with it. I also have a 6' blade with it, and that fits just right, with only a couple inches to spare when turning it 180 degrees.

As far as the flag pole, yes the snow does get that deep and my wife wanted a way to find me in a drift if I ran out of fuel /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

The yard is a "community" effort. There is a small group of us, camps and year round homes, on a private road. We all own strips down to the lake, combined giving us about 4 acres of waterfront lawn that we all enjoy. My family is the only one on the road that isn't retired and one of the few that doesn't go to Florida for the winter. We all chip in on the mowing and plowing, I will probably being mowing more of it next year!

Brad it looks like a great looking combination to me, and since I just bought a New Holland also I personally think that you made the right choice going blue. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I would love to see a picture of your rig attacking a large snow drift! hint, hint.

Wow! What a nice location for a blue tractor! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

My tractor is jealous of your tractor's location. I'm jealous of your snowblower.

Nice Pic! Enjoy the new machine

That's a very nice tractor you have there! I was wondering, if you don't mind me asking, how much was that setup? What size deck do you have and how much was it? Thanks! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

The entire package equipped as follows, was $19,275 plus tax. As has ofter been said here, we in the northeast have the privilege of paying more for most things. The TC 18 would have $2200 less, the TC 21D would have been $300 less. I also had a quote about $500 less for the same outfit, but from a dealer much further away with brands of implements I didn't care for as much as the Woods.
