You'll love your tractor. I like my TC 30 and it delivers for the size. Have fun.

ALLRIGHT! The blue looks a little too blue. You need to add a little brown to it.

Actually I have pictures of when it came off the truck, trust me it was not blue. I have fun getting it dirty and washing it afterwards. We will see how long that lasts.

Yes it is my first tractor. I had rented a TC30 and a Kubota L3010 for a week each over the last two years. It was nice to find out what I liked, wanted and actually needed. I was originaly going to get a larger tractor, but I was impressed with the power of the TC30, and it fits into the trails I have in the woods. It is amazing how much information I have picked up over reading this site for the last 3 years. Now I get to practice.

Eric, that is quite a rig you bought. I've always been fond of the TC30. I think that is a very capable machine. Congratulations! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
When I first saw your pictures, I could not get over how big that loader looks. I checked at Woodsonline.com and found that the 1009 loader far exceeds the capabilities of the NH 7308. It is similar to the 14LA in specs. Be sure to let us know how the TC30 handles full bucket loads. I suspect you will need that big boxblade on the rear to provide some needed counterbalance. I'm anxious to know how that combination works.

I was moving gravel last weekend, about 40 yards of pit run. It had no trouble filling the bucket, the box blade weighs about 600lbs, and it seemed to be enough to keep the back wheels on the ground, it never really felt light in the back. I did keep the loader close to the ground as I was driving. I did lot's of backblading with the loader, to smooth out the gravel, and it picked up the front of the tractor without hesitation. I have been really impressed with Woods products, I am planning on getting the Woods backhoe for it next.
I am also real happy with the canopy, I have used the tractor twice now, and both times it was raining, but I stayed nice and dry.

This is my first finished project. It's hard to see but I added about 6" of gravel in front of the shop and then continued down the road for another 150' with about 2". I will bring a compactor in this summer and bring in crushed rock to finish it off, but this should get me throught the winter.
