Took delivery of my TC40DA

[257NH]

Needed a smaller machine to get into garages etc.of the houses I build.Finally decided on the new holland.It seems to be a very well balanced machine with regards to the power to weight ratio.
I also purchased a hydro front mounted 12'' auger for all the porch/deck footings,it works very well.It has a 16la loader w/ bolt on cutting edge,48'' bradco pallet forks and front and rear work lights.I have pictures that I'll attempt to post.Never done it before,hope it works.

257NH, I have had my TC 40D for 2 1/2 years now and it's done everything I have asked of it and more. Good luck with the new tractor.

That's a nice tractor and some really nice tools. Congratulations!

Did you get a boxblade too? I think you are going to need a little rear ballast if you get a bucket full of dirt or the pallet forks loaded. You will find a lot of uses around the jobsite. Just look out for nails in the tires.

Cheers on another Tractor & a beauty at that. Boy is that front mount auger sure sweet. Could have used something like that a couple hundred times by now.

So.....what tractor are you getting next ??

You know Jinman I read your post before I left for work and I was going to reply and tell you that my rears were filled with rimgaurd,but mornings being what they are,I didnt have time.
Funny how things go because as it turns out I was loading sone heavy clay base loam into a dump truck and ended up with 2 feet of air under my rear tires.The bucket wasnt even heaped.I'm told from someone standing their watching that I was pretty close to going over.
Well at least into the truck bed.Lesson learned,on the way home I stopped and bought a ballast box.It's in the back of my truck now.And will be installed monday morning.
Thanks for the reply

Nice tractor. Makes work a breeze. I must warn you though it is like a disease. The next thing you know your at the dealer trying out another one and some how an order is placed. Don't ask if it is catching. I lot drove my new one today. My neighbor was at the dealership in the process of buying a new TC 35. It might be an " air borne " disease cause I know it travelled a quarter mile .
After a couple tire lifts one realizes how important the rear ballast is. Enjoy!
