TC21 for my HD

[Nailbanger1]

Thinking about trading my Bike for a TC21. It is a 2004 4x4 diesel with a fel, belly mower, back hoe, and grading box. Has it listed for $13000. I would use this machine for landscaping and gardening on my prorerty. Any pros or cons about the TC21 would be appreciated. Thanks

Also, is there a 3ph and rear pto if there is a back hoe?

For the life of me I can't see why people spend 20 plus grand on an air cooled 1940s designed motor on two wheels. I have owned a late model Goldwing for four years and it rode like a dream. Some of the Harleys shake so much at a stop lite it scares me. The performance on the dressers is like pulling an over weight trailer with a pinto.
If you can trade and get the value out of your bike by all means make the plunge. Fair warning...... horse power is contageous. Make sure you buy enough power to complete all your functions... ie oil flow rate for the backhoe, enough power to cut tall grass with the mower width while running the hydro transmission. Its a mistake alot of us made first time around. Don't hurry into a purchase and plan for expanding your inventory of attachments.

The TC21 is a good tractor. It is always easy to say to get more HP, but for me the 21 is fine for what I do for my 5 acres. I also have a friend across the road with a bigger tractor I can use when I have something a little bigger to take care of.

With the backhoe, you should still have a 3-pt and pto. If it is a non-frame mounted backhoe (3pt-mount) then I would stay away from it.
