Some of this stuff has moved around recently, thats why its confusing. In one way or another most of you are right about something, but not everything. Honestly, I don't even know what the right answer is without asking.

I have the TC33DA, I finish mow about 4 acers with it as a primary mower, it dose a great job! I also bush hogg about 8-12 acers with a 5' bush hogg, makes easy work of it. I have the 14LA FEL and love it, moved 23 tons of crush run easily. I also use a 5' blade on my gravel drives and other things, once again, it gets the job done. Great little machine. The hydrostatic transmision is a must! 4x4 also a plus! Yep, I'd buy it again.

For those who have a TC33DA or other NH Boomer--any regrets having SuperSteer or not having it? Does it really make finish mowing a lot easier? Is there any problem with the reduced ground clearance or the more complicated steering articulation? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

The boomer tractors are "assembled" in Georgia. But aren't the engines and transmissions still manufactured in Japan?

The engines are Shubura and are manufactured elsewhere. Not sure about the tranny if that is Shibura also or not. But the rest of the tractor from what I understand is manufactured mostly in the US and assembled in the US.

Yes the engine, transmission, rear axle and front axle (4wd) are made in Japan and shipped to Georgia. There the rest of the tractor is assembled.
