A little off topic but how much approx. would a TC#0 with FEL cost? I too am looking at buying one.
TC30 vs TC29 or TC33

I agree....weight of a 6 footer might be an issue though.

I doubt weight would be a problem with the TC30's 1635 lb. 3PT capacity.

Hank, I'm not sure what Roy meant, but I don't think he meant the 3PH lift capacity on the TC30. I think he meant needing front ballast to counterbalance a 6' cutter. I think you would need to leave the 7308 FEL installed or add front weight to a TC30. That would be especially true if your work included going up and down hills with the cutter lifted by the 3PH. What has been your experience with your TC30?

i recently got quotes for:
TC30 w/hydro and loader 15,800
TC29DA w/hydro and loader 18,350 add 1000 for supersteer
these were quotes from Corriher Implement Company

Hi Jinman,
I must say I agree with the front ballast issue. I have personally not used a rotary cutter on my tractor but I do know a guy with a 6' rotary cutter and he has a TC30. He has no problem with the weight of the cutter but he does have a FEL installed. It does OK with general tall grass but larger stumps do slow it down. I personally think the 6' is to large for the PTO HP of the TC30. I don't think you will be able to use the cutter to its full potential. I wasn't trying to knock Roy's comment, I just meant that for its size the TC30 can really work it hard. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
