New Holland TD95D-High Clearance
Model Year: 2007
This tractor has been a tremendous asset for our farm. The 94 HP 4WD, with 4 full size wheels, means the tractor has tremendous pulling power, even without calcium in the tires or wheel weights. The turning radius is a bit large, so it is a bit unwieldy on the headlands of our vegetable fields. The creeper gear is a big help for transplanting and fine cultivating. It is very stingy with fuel, using less than our 48 HP JD utility tractor for many operations. Overall, we are very happy with the performance of the tractor. That said we have had a number of problems with the tractor. The linkage on the reversing lever has been a problem since day one. There isn't quite enough throw to fully engage the shift in both directions. If the operator forces the lever, the linkage bends, exacerbating the problem. It requires lowering the fuel tank to work on the linkage. This problem has been a thorn in our side since the beginning. The other major problem is the gear and range shift levers. They sit in an open pan, under the operator platform. Oil splashes up from the transmission to lubricate the shifters. If the tractor sits outside, water gets into the pan, and it will contaminate the transmission. During freezing weather, the water accumulated in the pan freezes and the shifters can't be moved. We finally drilled a hole in the pan so the water runs out of it. There is some oil leakage, but the water no longer contaminates the transmission fluid. The PTO, 4wd and creeper linkages are also a bit finicky and difficult to engage and disengage.
Pros: Great pulling power, creeper gear, fuel economy.
Cons: Shift linkages, large turning radius.
