He covers attachment points, known defects (hydraulic leak, weak outrigger, bent pin, bad oil filter, broken hood), dashboard controls, and a brief real-world forks test moving 800-1,000 lb round bales. Most useful for someone evaluating a used TC33D package with similar attachments.
An owner-operator sharing early impressions after just acquiring the tractor, with no apparent dealer or brand affiliation.
Yes, it picked up an 800 to 1,000 lb round bale with no problem and no struggle, then lifted it over a hay feeder and set it inside.
This one had a hydraulic leak on the backhoe, a weak outrigger, a bent three-point pin, an old unchanged oil filter, and a broken hood.
A cradle goes underneath the tractor, a bar fits in a pocket by the three-point, and front pins go into pockets under the loader, with two hydraulic lines connecting to the three-point lift.
The forks mount on a bar, hooks on the bucket top go underneath it, then the bucket tips forward so its bottom rests on the forks to keep them level.
