Buying Advice Need some help with this NewHolland T4.75

[gooffer69]

Let's hope the picture shows up. I am searching for a T4 to buy... ran into this one.

Missing for me the most important attachment it's 655 loader, curious can this be added ?

I don't see the mounts the tractor would need. Also can anyone make out from the picture if this is the 4WD version ?

Also the industrial tires are throwing me off does this indicate anything ?

thanks

That is because it may not have the loader prep package installed which includes the joystick and hydraulics for a loader,
the loader sub frame that would be part of the loader.
It also has the front weight bracket and front end weights.
Yes it has the 4wd with R4 tires.

Unless you found an outstanding deal on that tractor you may wish to continue looking. A front loader will probably set you back $4000 to $5000. Many LS models are the same as many New Holland models as they're both essentially the same tractor. An equivalent LS branded loader may be less expensive. There are also after market loaders but they are generally not inexpensive.

I believe the LS one's stop at the boomer level or even before,
definitely not at the T4 series.

Loader ready T4s include the loader brackets, I find that odd but that is the way it is.
I agree, it is probably best to keep looking.

In my opinion, buying any used tractor without a loader, and then searching for a loader, is a bad idea!
Could take several years to find the proper used loader.

The loader option on the T4-75 was several thousand dollars $6000-$7000 I want to say when I looked at them several years ago,
you can get a Westendorf, Kyker, Miller, and others for much less if you shop around.
You may have to get a new mount kit and a used loader but it is quite doable.

I misspoke. I was thinking of the Workmaster 50/60/70s that come loader ready with brackets. The T4.75s came either with a factory installed loader or no loader. A dealer installed OEM loader for a T4 is a rarity.

If you need a loader, buy a tractor that already has one.

Even a smoking good deal becomes a loser if you have to add a loader after purchase. They only place this makes sense is for a tractor that never had a loader from the factory and it is the only tractor you own, even then it is questionable.
