TC24D Finally Arrives

[jwstewar]

Thought I would post a follow-up. I've had it one year yesterday. To celebrate I went home last night greased the mmm, put it back on, and then greased the rest of the tractor and loader. I've now got 213.5 hours on it. I'm glad to say once I got over the couple initial bumps that I had, it has performed flawlessly. Two minor issues, the boot around the joystick has cracked - dealer has already ordered a new one, and the cruise control seems to be out of adjustment. It works, just kind of quirky to get it set. Have talked to the dealer and told him he didn't need to come get it just for that - unless nothing else goes wrong by next year when the warranty runs out.

I've done a little bit of everything with my little blue beast including mowing 5 1/2 acres, hogging a couple more acres, digging the post holes for my garage, setting the poles, digging a small pond, running electric wire to the pond, smoothing the driveway, pulling the neighbors 36 HP Long out of the ditch, moving a shed, haulng the garbage to the road, and finally its most important task taking my little ones for a ride every now and then (but not if we are actually working the tractor). /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

It has been a great year. We've gotten a lot more done then we could've without it. Did I say I love my little blue beast? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

My boot came came cracked from the dealer. I would be interested in seeing how long it lasts.

Congratulations on the trouble free year! If this is an update, how about a few update pics? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Hey Jay, here are some of the last pictures that I've taken of the tractor. This is when we were doing the water garden project about 3 or 4 weeks ago.

As you can tell it is a little dirtier then in the first pictures. Few scratches on the hood and a bunch of scratches on the mmm, but nothing major other then a couple of dents on the front of the mmm. I've seen pictures of several of the decks here with the same dent. I think NH ships them with those. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
