The only thing the OP didn't list that I have is 1/2 mile mostly dirt drive way. 3 years ago purchased a used TC33 New Holland came with in the crate 5' mid mount mower, 5' brush hog, FEL quick connect w/bucket and forks and a full frame backhoe. Steal of a deal for all only had 400 hrs on tractor 10yrs old and I knew the previous owner. He traded for a larger new Kubota. I saw it as it showed up at the dealer. Told dealer not to unload it just drop it by my place on his way home that night. He lives on the same road. He let me try it for a few days and went back to him and made a deal and brought the other pieces home. He had a large used inventory at the time. Kubota credit was offering lower interest rates for used non Kubota equipment. He sold it to me at better price than I could have expected. Especially knowing the tractor's history. My cousin had purchased the comparable Kubota model Heated cab FEL and midmount mower 34k I paid 1/2 that. I was there actually looking for a Kubota.

Deals are out there right place right time! Not the best tractor I had ever run but for the right price it fit perfect. The only complaint I had with it was that the bracketry for the mid mount mower had to be completely removed and install the bracketry for the bh. I have to plan for mower season get all of my bh work done so I can put the mower for the summer. Large steep front yard can't be mowed with out 4wd. Has been all around very good multi purpose piece. Also have a Ford 8n trailer queen and an 860 that does the raking backblading, sicklebar 3pt wood splitter. And we use them all.

Don't get me wrong I love the old tractors and enjoy tinkering with them. But if I'm working on a tractor I'm not working the property. I takes 7 hrs to mow our yard and that hydrostat and comfortable seat go a long for way me.

Good Luck
