T4030 vs TN75A

[hotchkiss]

None of our dealers have the T4030 this year and don't seem to know much about it or will not say until they move the TN models. What has NH improved with the T4000 series tractors for 08? I see they went to a 4 cyl. turbo engine rather than the 3 cyl. that is in the TN75A. I am very close to buying a TN75A, but want to make sure that I shouldn't wait for the T4030 and spend a little more money. All of your thoughts and ideas are appreciated.

The T4000 series is going to be considerably more expensive, I've been told about $3000 more than the comparable TN. Also have heard that the T4000 and 5000's likely will not be out until late summer or early fall. Dealer training is to take place this summer. Electrical systems are supposed to have been improved, the new tractors are a bit heavier as well.

Thanks. I have not previously owned any of the NH tractors. I take it that NH had problems with the electrical systems? What do you know about that it anything.

Early models, late 90's and early 2000's, had some issues with corrosion and deterioration of wiring insulation, from what I have heard and read through TBN. I have no firsthand knowledge or experience with New Holland tracors. The comment about improved and upgraded electrical comes from NH's own literature on the new tractors.

Was over recently looking at specs and IIRC the TN75 has better hydraulic spec than the comparable 4000. In fact of the TN series the 75 has best hydralic performance...which seems sort of odd.
