Still haven’t ruled New Holland out completely. I remember pricing my original Boomer years ago at 2 different dealerships within 25 miles of each other and there was a 5 grand difference for the same equipment.

If I were you I'd opt for the same sized T474 with the Kukje engine. Absolutely a jewel of an engine and simplistic. IDI with mechanical fuel pump, no ECU on it other than the one running the exhaust valve for when a regen is requested (I'm at 478h without a regen to date).

TYM makes a solid machine, as do most manufacturers; I'd argue that a good dealer is as important, if not more so, than the actual brand. Should there be a problem, a good dealer will go far to bat for you with 'corporate;' a bad dealer will sour you on the best tractor.

Strange is you can still get the smallest part for a 8/9N.

Much like the AK, a fellow in Pakistan is currently producing usable bootleg parts for the Ford N series. 🤣

Wondering how hard it would be to swap out the super steer front end with the standard steer setup. The TCs were pretty solid tractors.

SuperSteer isn’t my favorite, can't really use it unless you want to tear up the yard. Need to steer sharp, get tracks.

Have you looked at LS, two years ago the price point was significant for same tractors and the LS has a few more standard features over the NH.
