Indeed they do look nice, rugged, and tough! But NH sure has come a long way since then. Do you know what year model they are?

Ford TW10 110 pto hp, TW20 135 pto hp , TW30 163 pto hp, built between 79-82 . Replaced by TW 15,25,35 between 83-89/90.
I'm not sure if any were built in the US all i have seen were built in the UK , Although i've seen a couple of later TW15's made in belgium.
This is my TW20 and 7600 ,1979 + 76.

None were assembled in the U.K. Only Romeo and Antwerp assembled 6-cylinder tractors. The only thing to come from Basildon were the engines and hydraulic components.

They look quite a bit like my FILs 9700

The TW was the next designation of the 9700. Same basic tractor just a different name.

Apologies , The basildon website says that the 8210 was the largest 6 cylinder built there .
I'm still confused why would so many tw's in UK have ( made in uk ) or Made in belgium on them , To get british people to buy them ?

D7E, sorry but my institutional memory ends in the late '80s. What I posted was true up to that time. Since then just about anything could have happened. The country of origin (UK or Belgium) shown on the Serial Number plate would have to be assumed to be correct. When Romeo was closed in the mid-80s as a tractor assembly plant, the strategy at that time was for Basildon to continue to assemble the 3 & 4-cylinder tractors as it had been and for Antwerp to continue as the sole assembler for 6-cylinder tractors.
