TC31/DX31

[dinoedwards]

Is the Case DX31 same as NH TC31, specs show exactly same 31hp, great total flow 12.3gpm, bucket 1250lb lift.
2006 model with 2600hrs, seems high.
Asking 13k
All fluids just done and 4wd just rebuilt.
Compared to 2003 TC33 with bushhog, box and trailer for 14K with 1600hrs 7308 FEL under 1000lbs cap.
Both Hydro.

Says he has brush crusher, bush hog and box for extra $2500 on the Case.

It sure is. They're two sides of the same coin, CNH (Case New Holland) Global.

When you say brush crusher, are you referring to a mechanical grapple?

 

[dinoedwards]

Yes, plus box
Is 2600hrs a lot for these?

 

[tacticalturnip]

136 hours a year is a little high for a compact tractor, but not really a concern if it's in good shape. If it was used commercially that makes a lot of sense.

In non-commercial operation land clearing could rack up hours, and management could keep them coming on little by little.

Either way, a well-maintained diesel shouldn't give any issue, especially a pre-Tier IV machine.

She could stand to be cleaned up; is that soot stains on the right side of the machine? Or is that shadows and the loader frame?

 

[dinoedwards]

Going to see it later today. Has video of starting with no smoke at all, white or black.
Belt squeak when idled up but no soot that I can see.

 

[tacticalturnip]

I hope you finally found the right tractor for you!

Aux hydraulics and a SSQA would be bare minimum for me these days with so many bucket options. Not having both would kill the deal faster than a machine having a gear drive trans.

I rotate between a bucket, plow, and pallet forks and SSQA is a game changer in compact tractors.
