</font><font color="blue" class="small">( What are you going to do with your old 2120. I'd be interested in talking about it before you trade in as I would like another. It's a shame you have to move all the way into the TC55 in order to get the HSS now.
This one has 1200 hrs. but it looks new.

The HSS is very nice, but its the frame and weight that matters. The 2120 is one (if not the best tractor) For/New Holland ever made (right up there with the 8N). The TC48 and TC55 appear to be the same frame.. (right down to many of the castings being the same). The 2120 is a big step up from a TC45. I have had my 2120 since 1987 and it is worth more now that I paid for it then. One of these days I will posting a website as to what you can accomplish with a 2120. I was looking at pictures the other day and even though I was in the seat running the machine, I am suprised at some of the projects I have been able to accomplish.
BTW, I am in the process of falling bach on my 2120 for most of my work, and will be selling my almost new (198 hour) TN75D to purchase a compact excavator. The TN75D is a great tractor, but for my uses (and limited funds) a compact excavator fits the bill better.
