- New Holland TC40, Hitachi EX100, Gravely Pro-Turn 152
I have a 2006 New Holland TC40 I bought new. It is my first and only tractor, as of right now. I have had 11 years of nothing but solid performance from this tractor. I have never had one mechanical issue with it. The only thing I would change on it is those plastic/composite rear fenders. They have some cracks in them. It has always started on the first turn of the key, no matter what the weather has been. I feel really fortunate to own this tractor. I have pulled stumps, dug big holes with the loader, hours of tilling my garden, moved hundreds of piles of tree limbs and brush, and graded out lots of land. I have pushed this tractor as hard as it will go and it keeps on getting it. I can't do everything single thing that I want to with it, but most everything within reason that you would expect from a 40hp tractor. I also love the design of the hood. I can see everything I am doing with the loader. It has just been an all around great tractor. Looking back on the purchase, the only thing I would maybe have done differently now is bought the TC55 instead. That was also a nice machine.
I looked at new tractors a couple of years ago and there were a couple I really liked. I even looked a the new New Hollands. I was not as impressed with the newer Boomers compared to my tractor. I thought really hard about getting rid of my tractor and upgrading to a newer one. However, I would always come home and get on mine and none of the new ones seemed to fit me like the TC40. I am glad I kept my tractor. Plus it is paid for.
I would like to know from other New Holland TC owners if you have had the same experience with your tractors as I have had with mine.
