</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I also like the NH TS115A. Anyone know the price range on that tractor. )</font>

Dealer's cost on a deluxe model TS115 4WD is over $40,000. That's without a cab or any options. I didn't even check on the loader. I'd be looking to spend somewhere over $50k for that tractor with a loader. The "plus" model TS115 with 2WD and no loader would be in the $35k range. Looks like you better adjust your range upwards if you want one of those beauties. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Jinman - how about the TS100A 2wd with a cab? I found an article that says the TS-A series start MSRP in the low 30s.

I dont think you need the amount of horsepower you think you need.

BWhite, I'm not a tractor expert, I just know how to look things up sometimes. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Here's a link to the State of Minn. Contract tractor site. They have lots and lots of tractors on contract. When you see the listed prices, you can figure at least a 10-15% discount and in some cases 20% on the prices you see. Remember, for NH tractors, you have to buy a wheel/tire package separate from the tractor and that can easily add $3000 or more to the price.

This is a site many folks here on TBN use as a baseline pricing guide. It will get you into the ballpark for sure.

I think that the closest thing that you are going to get for the money is a MF 400 series. Most of the road crews are using them with bat-wing mower in hilly NW Arkansas now.

Hey Jerry,

Are the 400 series cabbed tractors out at the dealers yet? I've not seen any except at the shows,that's why I did not mention them as an alternative. But they are a very serious contender.
