Read articles →This is part 2 of an owner's basic operating walkthrough for a New Holland TC33D, covering starting the engine, clutch and first-gear use, four-wheel drive engagement and disengagement, loader/bucket controls, throttle lock, and PTO and hydraulic adjusters, plus a warning about tipping risk and snapping axles in 4WD on dry ground. It's a casual, narrated hands-on demo, not a spec review or buying guide, best suited to new or prospective TC33D owners wanting basic control familiarization.
Posted by the Larry's Blueberry farm and gardens channel, an owner sharing personal, informal operating tips from his own tractor.
Move the tractor forward and then back and it will come out, so you are not permanently stuck in four-wheel drive.
No, in four-wheel drive on dry ground you could snap an axle or drive shaft, so avoid sharp tight corners, especially on pavement.
Put it in neutral, bring the throttle lever to mid-range, push the clutch in, turn on ignition, and hit the starter, glow plugs if needed when cold.
Yes, the video warns you have to be careful with loads since it can tip easily and get unstable, like many mid-size tractors.
