The TT60A uses a 3 cylinder Iveco engine, and it is extremely fuel efficient, according to the Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory. Check out the three TT-A tests at the lower right of this page and compare the "Hp.hr/gal" for all three TT-A's. Note that the TT60A uses the least fuel per hour and puts out the most Hp.hr/gal. of the three.

Then, take a look at the comparable John Deere tests (the 5103/5203/5303 are really equivalent to the 50XXE series tractors, and the "D" series version are lighter duty, but use the same engines). The JD's are not as efficient as the TT60A.

These tests are interesting, and provide a start. Also, notice that all of the TT-A's

...did not meet the
manufacturer's claim of XXXX lb (XXXX kg) 3 point
hitch lift capacity.

The JD's did meet those claims, and have higher 3 point hitch lift capacities.

I almost forgot to add that my local (SoCal) New Holland dealer has a MFWD TT75A with FEL for $26,000 U.S., and that's without negotiating. The TT60A should be less expensive.

Hey Adam: The TT is a good little tractor. No it doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but it is a solid tractor with a great engine. The tractor does not have alot of hydraulic flow so be cautious of the loader you put on it.
I think your price sounds about right in Canadian $$.
