DO NOT BUY TC40/45

Based on your reading of this thread, what's your verdict?

Based on what I've read, I'm going fishing. BY MYSELF.

Too early to tell.

But I've had two complete junkers and hopefully one good one (all TC45's, 2 cabs, one platform)
I'll continue to update.

I ain't sayin' nuttin'! Everytime I say something positive, LC's tractor breaks again.

UPDATE

Called NH corporate
The lady (Odile) said "well, that's worthless, you shouldn't have to do that, you take it down to the dealer, you tell them not to touch it, get a hold of the NH rep and you tell the rep to give you a new one"

Went by the dealer (was on the way home from another job with a working tractor) and told the GM all this and said "get the NH rep on the phone"

So, a meeting is set for 9am Friday.

The dealer offered to come fix it, I said why bother, it will just break on the next job. It always has, why would the next one be any different? I'm out of patience, it's a lemon and it needs to go back. It's been different things every single time. Either they can give me a new tractor, or they can undo the deal and give me my down payment back (at this point, I prefer the 2nd option)

Good luck. Call it like you see it.
:thumbsup:

Prior to reading the entire post I had no feelings about NH, either pro or con but now I can say I have a bad taste in my mind about the tractors. It seems strange to me that Cowboy would have so many problems with two tractors from the same company, bad dealer or not. In this area they aren't the most popular tractors (Green and Red are) but you still see quite a few working on farms and they wouldn't be there if they didn't hold up or last.

Far too many people happy with their NH, even Brian and his TN75, to change my opinion.

I have a TC33d with 700 hours and a TC55d with 53 hours and no problems with either one and i couldnt be happier and my next one will be NH!!!

Fishing trip got switched into taking wife to movies......,

(I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry. Go see it! VERY FUNNY)

Fishing expedition is this afternoon, after Brickyard 400 ends.

And you can even sit on my side of the lake, so long as you bring the ale!
