Nice new TN 75...

[evergreen]

Just received my TN 75. What a great tractor...can't wait to start skidding logs with it. I had a 55 but had nothing but problems with it...dealer/ NH bought it back and gave me a good deal on this 75. Just like to hear from those of you who have 75's ...

I'm interested in the 55; what was wrong with it that you had to trade it.

Does your 75 have a cab and other goodies?

I'm also interested in what went wrong with your TC55, and how your TN75 is outfitted. Did you get the 16/16 trans with it? It's a much bigger machine than the TC48/55 units. I just wouldn't have been able to manuver the TN series into places I need to get, not to mention that it would have fit into my barn, but it would have been tight. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

It might have been a TN55 and not a TC

I had a TDA-55. Numerous things went wrong with it. The valves that control bucket tilt had to be replaced. Anytime I would backdrag the bucket would just curl up. Not enough to keep it in any one position. That was 2 trips to the dealer to figure out. 3 Hyd lines at different times failed. 2 times just moving the back hoe to the side...no load what so ever. The main Hyd line to the back hoe blew off moving the tractor out of the garage. These were all warranty...dealer was great. The straw that broke the camels back was when I was about 2 miles in the woods. I was skidding out logs...about to skid logs, didn't even get to. The tractor just would not engage any gears forward of reverse. Ran fine...I thought maybe I blew a fuse...nope...I could not figure it out...made the mayday call to the dealer and they sent a mechanic out. He and I tried numerous things, jumping wires, swicthing out shuttle valves...everything we could. One time she worked. i made it about 50 yards and nothing. We could not figure it out. it did that a few time more and then finally nothing. Called the dealer and they brought out another tractor to tow mine out. They had mine for about 3 weeks. They said it was moisture inside the e-brake. They didn't seem real convincing but what could I do. got it back and a few weeks later was doing the same thing...now I take care of my stuff...garaged and plugged in clean. So I finally made the call to my salesman and said something must be done. They and NH came up big for me...new 75 and bought the 55 back. The dealer was Romance in Arcade NY and they were great. My 75 has loader one rear remote...forrestry/skidder chains on all 4, 16-16 trans, 759c 84 inch box scraper post hole digger. I'm getting into firewood/logging so I just got a Farmi 501 winch. Sorry for the length of ths post...I could talk tractors all day...

Congratulations on your new TN75 - it is a great tractor. We need pictures also! Don't worry about your post being too long - we like to talk tractors all day here /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I have similar set-up as you including FEL and farmi 501 - I added a grapple this year and highly recommend if you are logging/firewooding.

Hopefully your TN75 will be much less problematic than your previous.

Happy New Year!

I got a new TN75 about 2 months ago and I love it. Plenty of power and will do anything I need. I got a 4x4 with the quick attach bucket and bale spear.
It does seem to smoke a lot more than my old Kubota did.
Does yours smoke much?

Yes we will see some pics of this nice tractor /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

1bush...what type of grapple?

I purchased a WR Long grapple, but there are some other good ones out there too.
