I agree with Murph. You need to operate both tractors on your property for an hour, not 5 minutes around the dealership's lot. Some dealers don't like the idea of their equipment out that long but you need that much time. A quick spin around the dealers lot won't tell you much about its handling, visibility, three point hitch operation and most importantly, the loader operation including attaching and detaching. This is especially true with the Supersteer feature on the NewHolland. I've posted a couple of times here about Supersteer. I have it on my TC40D. 90% of the time I absolutely love it. 10% of the time I hate it. The tight turning radius is incredible. But it has the quirk of the front end of the tractor actually turning in the opposite direction of your steering for the first few degree of the steering angle. 90% of the time it presents no problem and your drive around with this incredible smile on your face. Its that good. However, with a loader attached and in tight quarters, with the loader extended several feet in front of the tractor that little "quirk" can drive you nuts. If you drive up next to a building with a loaded bucket, with little room to spare on each side, and need to make a correction Supersteer can be frustrating in my opinion. You get better with a little experience but it never goes away. If you are too close for example on the right side and turn your wheels to the left (which is instinctively what you do) your bucket actually goes further to the right. If you are close to a building you can hit it which I've done a few times. Again, with experience, you plan your moves in advance and it lessens the problem. But once or twice a month (I use my loader constantly) I get caught too close to a building or tree and struggle to back up without gouging something with the bucket. On the plus side you can spin the tractor nearly in zero turn, its almost that good. I really enjoy my TC40D and would buy another. I have 180 hours on it and the only problem has been a need for an adjustment on the hydro pedal return springs. But before you buy I think you should get a good feel for the Supersteer feature before you buy it. My dealer sells 9 out of 10 class II and III boomers with Supersteer so most feel it is a good feature. In all likelyhood you won't see it as huge problem but you should take some to use it for a while especially if you ever plan to put a loader on it.
