That's a pretty good price. A loader is another 5k.
I think new they are closer to 28/29 or so.
What kind of transmission? it doesn't say?
could be an 8x3 though and that's not so hot. I don't know what that big lever is by the front left, mine doesn't have that (i have a Power Shuttle)

I don't know. In fact, I don't know the difference between the two, since I'm new to this. Can you educate me? Really appreciate it.

no 8x3, looks like i"m wrong, so that's a plus, lowest is a 8x8 shuttle shift, which is ok (not the best, but ok)
give them a call, get some more info for us.
we like spending other people's money.

The only lever I see on the front left is on the dash and looks like it could be turn signals.. has the weatherproof accordian-pleated bootie and all on it. real short.. say 6"... What are you seeing?

The dealer has the same tractor on eBay eBay: 2006 NEW HOLLAND TD75. 4X4 ROPS (item 180129523626 end time Jun-21-07 07:20:07 PDT), it is a 12x12 SynchroShuttle. The tall lever on the left of the seat is the MFWD engagement lever. Where do you see 8x8 transmission, I'm looking at the TD75 spec sheet on NH web site, it says 12x12 is standard. Oh, I see now, you're looking at the TN series, this tractor is a TD. List on the Case JX80, comparable tractor to the NH, is $27620.

I spoke to him and it's the 12x12. A loader from them is another $6,500, since it's used and not a package. He's trying to quote me a Case jx80 with a loader, which he says is a comparable model.

The JX80 is comparable in capability but I believe it's an entirely different design. Go take a look at one; IMHO they are quite large and heavy for the utility class. Would be great for bigger fieldwork, and for your tasks may be fine, but take a look.

Kubota, New dealer around here has about put others out. If you like the Toyota and Honda vehicles then remember the Kubota is engineered the same place with the same quality.

Thanks...I'm actually renting a smaller (35HP or so) Kubota this weekend, so I'll get my first taste of one and compare it to the Deere. Just doing some bush hogging.
