    Going to look at a second hand tl 90 on Saturday. Think from my research that they are a good choice. Any comments or advice? Thanks.

    We have a 01 4wd with a quicke Q920 loader onboard. We are more than happy with it. Easy on juice, very manouverable around the yard and well able for the 4ft shear grab. Biggest downside is the hoppiness on the road. This is all short tractors though.

    Would weights on the front solve the bouncing

    Get a weight block for the back if you have bales or a heavy grab of silage on the front loader, it can be a little light and raise a back wheel if your not carefull, other that that a good tractor but as said above not the best for road work but brilliant for field work nice and light

    I have a Case JXU and have Wheel weights (300 kgs ) on the back to balance the loader. The soft ride on the loader makes a huge difference on the road too.

    Speaking of weight blocks, what do ye make of this counter weight

    He's looking for 400 for it collected, I think it's a bit steep as it looks to be made from fairly light steel.

    Any opinions on it or is 400 euro a fair price to pay for a weight block?

    Thanks for the replies. Heading up north in da morning for a spin. Value seems decent It's power shuttle. I have been told that repairs to power shuttle can be expensive but it's great for loader work. Anyone any experience in relation to tl power shuttle (wet clutch) repairs ?
