It's been just over a month - TC18 with 12LA loader was delivered 3/28 - and it goes in tomorrow for the 50 hour service - a little late because we worked hard over the weekend and got to 58 hours.
It had a hydraulic leak at the FEL joy stick when delivered, which I tightened, and a bent power steering arm, which was replaced under warranty, even though I might have bent it. Other than that, it has been flawless. I'ved used the brush hog (4' Rhino SE4) enough to approve of it, and picked up a KK 6' landscape rake that I'm still learning to use, but most of the work has been with the 4' box blade and the FEL. I will have a FEL mounted brush rake of one sort or another by next week - I'm hampered without it.
This little tractor has completely met, and exceeded, my expectations. 18 HP is enough for the Class I frame - I can spin the (unloaded) R4 front tires pretty easily, and find myself using the differential lock a lot (remember that Florida sand is pretty loose). The rear R4's are loaded with water.
Neat machine.
