\"Cheapest\" with air conditioning

Hi all, I will be posting this on the other tractor boards as well, as I am just getting my feet wet here and looking for some newbie info. Does anyone know the "Cheapest" or "Lowest" tractor (4x4) that New Holland makes which can be equipped with Air Conditioning and Heat for full-season use? I am going to "Empire Farm Days" on Wednesday so I may find out more there, but I wanted to have some information "in hand" already before I go. Thanks! mike@slavis.com

Mike, Straight from the factory? I would guess the TL70.
The TND's can be had with a cab, I'm not sure if you can add the heat and AC.

Mike,

I think a TN55D would be the smallest unit with cab.
Cab has both air and heat standard.

I have been looking at a TN75D. Test drove it at a local dealer. Larger machine than the 55 and quite expensive (asking $30K), but very nice...particluarly on those Arkansas afternoons when both the temperature and humidity are ~100./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

Phred, Thanks for the info. I don't know why I never happened upon that link directly from the New Holland site, but it says right there that the TND series cabs have heat/air conditioning/wipers standard. For anyone else following this, here are the links to the TN55 and TN75:

ErnieB, Thanks for the info. I checked and the TNDs come with cab with air conditioning/heater, as well as the TLs. I think the TLs look like a more expensive tractor, though. I'm still trying to figure out where to go for pricing information.

Re: "Cheapest" with air conditioning

Mike, I saw a TC45D at my NH dealer this weekend that had a full cab on it. I didn't specifically check, but I can't imagine it not being air conditioned in this Texas heat. I'd guess from that, that the TC40 and Also the TC35 could be equiped with a cab since they are the same size and form-factor. Can I ask why you don't just call up a dealer and ask them? That seems to be the obvious answer, but ???

Re: \"Cheapest\" with air conditioning

JimI, Thanks for the reply. My New Holland dealer here is also the local Bobcat dealer, and while I haven't tried to contact them about New Holland yet, I am still waiting for a reply to the voicemail I left with questions about the Bobcats.

Also, I posted this question to the Kubota, New Holland and John Deere lists to quickly find out about each without having to try and reach several dealers.

Also, sometimes I find that real users will give different information than dealers will and can point things out that I wouldn't have thought of. So I wanted to see where the discussion went.

Lastly, I am planning on heading to Empire Farm Days tomorrow, where there will be reps from all the major Tractor companies on hand to answer questions, etc... and I wanted to have at least a good idea of what I'd be looking for before I went.

Thanks again,
mike@slavis.com

Re: \"Cheapest\" with air conditioning

JimI, I saw a TC45D at a dealer with a full cab. It had a heater but no A/C. It was ordered for a local school and they planned on removing the doors during the summer. Asked the dealer about A/C and he thought it was only available, possibly, from a third party. This dealer moves a few TC units but is primarily focused on large Ag units.

Re: \"Cheapest\" with air conditioning

Mike, I just gave my dealer a call (got a busy signal), but you can call him if you like. Go back to the top of this forum and look under my post titled "Best Place to Buy." You can see a photo of some tractors and on the far left is the TC45D with a canopy just visible. If you call the number shown, ask for Steve McMaster or Rick McMaster. One of them should be able to tell you about AC on NHs. I'll also keep checking, since it's a local call for me.

Re: \"Cheapest\" with air conditioning

Okay, I got through to my dealer, finally. The smallest "factory" installation is on a TN55. The TC45 cab and air conditioner I saw are third-party addons. I guess the mystery is solved.
