Took the plunge!

Just want to thank the great people on this website. Lot's of good stuff here. I brought my new baby home this weekend. TC40. I'll get pics as soon as I can. But wait, that would require me getting off the tractor... dunno if I can do that or not...

Anyway, 75 hours, loader, very clean used machine. Pics to come.

Congratulations on going from "Buying/Pricing" to "Owning/Operating"

HST or Gear?

What did you pay, if I may be so bold? There was a recent poster (rangerric) asking about prices on a similiar tractor with similiar hours.

Congratulations! I have 1035 hours on my TC45D and have loved almost every minute. For the first two weeks, only hunger could drag me off of it. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

To answer some Q's, it's a Hydro with 75 hours, 2004 model. I think I got a pretty good deal on it. I got it for less than 16K. I'd say the first owner took a hit on it assuming everything proves to be like new as the hour meter says. Very clean machine. Hate to be a tease, but I don't have pics yet... Soon I hope.

( I got it for less than 16K. )

The term "grand larceny" comes to mind... Wow! What a deal. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Yeah, he said the original owner probably took a bath on it. Typically that falls under "Murphy's Law" That would be me if I was selling.

congrats on your new purchase. It's a good rig and we won't wait too long for pics.

Looks like the deal of the century. It proves that good deals do come along now and then.

Holstein05, I don't want to diminish your deal in any way. You got a great deal on that tractor. One thing I have to tell you is that it's not a 2004 model. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif By 2004, NH had changed the lights to the slanted ones in front. It might be a 2003 model. It's still a fantastic tractor and I've always preferred the straight headlights instead of the slanted ones. Was the canopy included? What a great looking tractor. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

You're right !.. Manufacturing date was 2003. Sold new in 2004. I mis-spoke when I said 2004. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif Good catch on your part!

The canopy was included. The mower was not.
