Re: TC48 and TC55 - Pic 2 of 2
It is bridging the gap. The TC 55 will still be lighter then a TN 55 which is the biggest thing to consider. It is also going to be slightly shorter and narrower then a standard TN, hence the name Compact. There is a market for them if they are price right, however, if they cost as much as a TN it wouldn't make sense for most people to buy one instead of a TN. As it is a TC 45 is about the same cost as a TN 65 (in some places more) so it is going to depend on the application the buyer will use it for. Large green houses who need a compact machine to work inside their greenhouses but still will do work in fields might be the biggest market for the new TC's.
