- New Holland TC29DA/14LA Loader and Tc24DA/12LA Loader
I was shopping tractors in Ohio today when a couple of NH dealers told me the TC26DA will be discontinued as of January 1st. Apparently this model has had slow sales and will be replaced by a larger model in the TZ-Series with greater lift capacity and a 28 hp Shibaura power plant. The new model will not be as rugged as the 26DA and still will be a SCUT so it looks like I might end up buying the 2520 Deere after all. I was surprised by the variation in pricing, especially on the JD which ranged from $15,500 to $18,000 on the 2520 and 16K to mid 17K on the NH for tractor, loader, bucket and weight box and in the Deere case, I-Match. The JD at $15,500 with the 61HD bucket and either turfs or R4's will probably prevail. Anyway, It's kinda sad to see this great model go away.
