New Holland and Case IH the same?

[rebelback]

I've been looking at the New Holland and Case IH compact utility tractors on their websites. Are they the same? I know a lot of their site is the same as well. Heck, last week both sites went down at the same time. Are Case and NH sister companies now?

Yes, for the most part you can buy the same tractor with different paint and hoods. There are a few brand specific models still but they are both owned by Fiat and ran under the CNH name (Case New Holland).

And if you know the tractor it crosses with you can buy parts from the Case-IH dealer for your New Holland and vice versa.

lets hope NEW HOLLAND doesnt get CASES passion for staying in the shop.

for whatever reason the NH seems to be a more reliable, better built tractor. i knwo people that have both tractors and friends that work at Case dealers, and they have nothing but complaints about case but love their NH. so who knows

In 1999 Fiat Industrial bought Case IH. Case IH people will say they merged with New Holland under Fiat. Either way, they have both been owned by the same company for a little over a decade now.

Some people are used to problems, some aren't!

New Holland seems to wear the pants in the relationship. (We sell Both)

We sell both as well, Case-IH has had the lead in the new technology, high end, tractors as well as implements and then it moves to NH.

It is harder to learn who- and where!- a tractor was built these days. I have a 30+ year old JD 850 that has Kanji characters on the major castings , so we know it was a "Japanese tractor".

Today, LG Tractors (Korea) is not a name we think of when shopping for a CUT. The company began in 1975 as a part of Hyundai in cooperation with Yanmar of Japan.
LG had tie-ups with Mitsubishi and Fiat/New Holland, (CNH Global), and sold tractors under the LG, LG-Fiat and LG-New Holland brands.
They also built tractors for sale by LG Montana, TAFE, LongAgri and Farmtrac in North America.
In 2005, LG Cable split off from LG and became LS Cable. The tractor division became LS Tractors, and tractors began to be sold under the LS and LS-New Holland brands.

It looks like "Made in America, by Americans" is a myth.

Your pretty much right - other than assembly (not manufacturing) plants. Ross Perot - hate him or love him, he was right.

The LS Tractor is the same as the New Holland tractor except for the price tag, LS use to build the McCormick tractor as well, they also built the Farmtrac, until the Indians took it over and they use to build the Montana, until they went out of business. They have there fingures in alot of different tractors. I just bought a LS R3039, will let you know how it works out.

the compact tractors only, not anything over 50hp. (LS and NH)

I looked at both the Farmall line of CaseIH CUT and the NH. I don't know about the hydro versions but the gear tractors have very little in common. The NH (I just bought a boomer 35) seems to be laid out very well ergonomically. Once you get into the big tractors they are very similar with the exception of Supersteer...
