TC 33 vs TC 35 vs Kubota L3130

[John_Mc]

I own a TC33D. I'm very happy with it. My uses sound a lot like yours (though I add: maintaining a 1600 ft dirt road). The TC33DA is the next generation from what I have. IMO, the biggest difference between the two is the new 14LA loader on the 33DA... it's much nicer than the older 7308 that NH had for the 33D.

When shopping, I was looking at the 33D and the TC35D. I ended up with the 33D, due to the need to fit into some tighter spots in my woods. If I had gone bigger, after teh research I did, I would have skipped over the TC35 for the TC40. The TC40 Has a 4 cylinder engine, vs 3 for the TC35. It also seemed like a better balance of power to frame size to me. That electronic range shift on the loader joystick was pretty handy too.

Thanks very much for all the information, guys. Very helpful with real world stuff.

How long does it take here to move out of the tenderfoot class and to something a little less neophytish?

George, since you are a neurosurgeon, you know the importance of specialization. It's the same with tractors. There are many experts here in specialty areas and a few with large, broad knowledge of tractors and equipment. TBN combines all these specialties to make us the "400 lb gorilla" of tractor knowledge. A neophyte (myself included) can find good and thoughtful answers to almost any question here. You can find someone with every kind of specialized knowledge, even not related to tractors. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif If you read a few profiles, you'll be amazed at the talent and experience here. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
