Dave, I guess they don't refer to the class of tractor much anymore. The TC33 shares it's frame size with the TC29. I believe the TC21 and TC25 were class I. That would leave the TC18 as a class 0. As you suggested, the TC35/40/45 were all Class III and the TC48/55 was Class IV. I may have made some mistakes with my groupings and that shows how little it means. As long as you know the Class IIIs are a bigger frame size than Class IIs, that's all you really need to know. I believe the new TC35 may be a progression of the TC34 and is now a smaller frame size like the TC29/33/34. The new numbers and changes have me so confused that I'm afraid to comment on most issues.
EDIT: I just went to NH's new site. In the Boomer tractors, the numbers are :
1xxx
2xxx
3xxx
4xxx
Those numbers correspond to the previous "class" designations. My calling them by the class is probably no longer valid. I should use the new designations when talking about new tractors. Technically, my tractor is a Class III because that's what they called them when I bought mine. However, if you can't find that in reference material, it isn't much use.
