Anyone have a TS 125A in their fleet?

My brother just ordered a new TS 125 A New Holland with every feature except front weights. I can't wait to try out the air ride cab and all wheel lock up. It is entering an all GREEN community so I hope it measures up.

Congratulations to him (and you). You guys will love the all wheel lock up. I have it on my TN and when I engage it, its like I'm on a much larger tractor.

The TS125A is a great machine, you will not want to leave it once you are in it. Case-IH did a wonderful job on that cab.

Almost. I'm trading from a Case-IH CX 80 up to a TS-A 115 w/ 52LB loader and grapple. Should have the unit early next week and I can't wait. That cab is big enough (and nice enough) to live in.

They don't have one in stock. Will be in end of february. Can't wait to see how it stacks up against the green. Between the air ride cab, all wheel lock up, auto trans, and the 6 cyl cummins it should make a great field tractor. I think he forgot to order the satelite dish.

Ummmmmmmmmmm, Case-IH had nothing to do with the cab. The TS-A line is a New Holland line unit, not from the Case line that New Holland purchased.

The TS-A is a joint tractor. If you look at the cab you can see the Case-IH design in it. The easiest way it to look at where the cab is mounted. Case-IH and New Holland are one company. The tractors they build now are mostly the same. There are some still that do not have a counterpart in the other paint but for the most part the tractors are the same. When NH bought Case-IH they merged the two groups. The Case people are still there and still desgining.

The TG, TJ are Case-IH tractors with different hoods and paint. The TS-A was one of the first tractors that was designed by Case New Holland using both companies resources.

It is not a Cummins. The engine family has been tagged NEF (New Engine Family). It is a joint effort by Iveco, Cummins and CNH. The external top end favors Cummins, the crankcase and block have Iveco lines, and CNH provided the tags and casting badges. Iveco is wholly or at least partially owned by Fiat, the parent of CNH.

Robert, I am the service manager at a large New Holland dealer ship and am very familiar with these tractors as we have sold several of them. I also have been to two training sessions on TSA tractors.

 

[Robert_in_NY]

I know that from your description. That does not change the fact the TSA cab screams Case-IH. Why does it seem so foreign that CNH would use a Case-IH designed cab on thier tractors? Someone had to design it. I do know the NH guys designed the TL-A cab and if you step from the TL-A to the TS-A to a TM there is nothing in common between the TS-A and the other two cabs other then the color and logo. Also, the TS-A cab is mounted forward more then the typical Ford/NH cabs which is a Case-IH design.

 

[whitetiger]

If you compare the Case cab to a TSA cab they both sit on top of the tractor and have a door on the left. Other than that there are no similaritys at all. Yes, NH kepted a few of the Case people but they hardly run the company.
The TSA cab in no more like a Case-IH cab than it is like a JD cab.

I know there are some differences but the over all cab is still the same. I did not say that New Holland took a cab from an old Maxxum and put it on the TS-A but if you look at the placement and overall design of the cab on the TS-A all you can see is the Case-IH designers influence.

I feel like you are taking this personal. I have nothing against Case-IH or New Holland and in fact run all Ford/New Holland equipment. But for the TS-A you are the first person I found that is taking offense to this (or at least that is how it seems). Case-Ih tractors and New Holland tractors are in my mind the same now. I know there are a lot you can only get in one color like the JX, TT, TB and TV-145 but for the most part the tractors now are designed as a whole by a group of people from both original companies. It is natural you are going to see New Holland design influence on Case-IH badged tractors just like you will see Case-IH design influence on New Holland badged tractors. It is really the same concept as the TG vs MX and TJ vs STX. The tractors are similar except the hood and a few options. The only reason we know who designed those tractors is that they were built before the merger. With the TS-A cab you can see the height of the cab is exceptional, the vastness of them is great and the forward placement of them over the rear housing is something Case-IH has done for years. It gives the entire tractor a shorter overall appearance but it is still a good size tractor. New Holland cabs are great as well but the Italians are smaller people then most North Americans and the Fiat/New Holland cabs show this (especially the TL-A). There is still a lot of room in them but not as much as you would expect. Most noticable difference is that you can close the TL-A door while sitting in the seat. The TS-A you have to hop out of the seat to even reach the grab bar on the door.
