Working my TC55 today....

[RoadGear]

Hello again fellas!

Took my TC55 out today and ran her for 2-3 hours doing loader work. I was using the Virnig rock bucket to dig out and haul cow manure - seemed to work pretty good digging through all that wet packed hay/manure.

I'm starting to get the hang of the shuttle shift but, I can't seem to keep my foot off the inching pedal! I guess I still think of it as a clutch. I have found that the 55 will shift quite smoothly - if I let it!

After moving about 2-3 tons of cow crap, the 55 was looking a little sh*ty, so I had to hose her off before I put her up for the night.

I have a 4 1/2 acre field that was never farmed so the 55 has been busy deep tilling, dragging, and almost finished with the rock rake removing the solid earth objects. Got it looking like a pool table surface and will be much easier to mow and plant trees. By the weekend the dust covered machine will be ready for a bath.
That tractor works so well I should have had one ten years ago. After gathering all the sliver rock I'm wondering if a rototiller would really work in this area. Think I lowered the earth surface 2" by filling in what appeared to be a motar range ( numerous 2' depressions ).
The only item I wish it had was a larger fuel tank. Other than that, all smiles !
Your right Road Gear..... the inching petal gets me in trouble now and again. Old habbits are hard to break.

Have mercy on me Duffster, I forgot to take any pictures! If you let me stay, I promise to take pictures when I get the rototiller out!

Thank goodness I'm not the only one with a untrained foot. Too many years of running clutches.

What is an inching pedal? My TC35A has shuttle shift, but no inching pedal.
