TC40

Anonymous Poster · Aug 1, 2001

I have had no problems with the Iveco engine in the TN's and I haven't heard of any problems with others but it is a new engine and only time will tell. However if you do buy a TN get the TN-65. When I bought mine it was $300 more to upgrade to the 65 and you will apreciate the extra hp. I have no problems pulling a 10' disc in heavy clay, I average 5-6 mph with plenty of lugging power. You will appreciate the TN over the TC for farm use.

I just bought a TN65. I take delivery next week. My tractor is equipped with MFWD, 14.9-28 R1 ags, LA32 MSL loader, 1 rear remote, grill guard and 8X8 sync shuttle. I gave $25,086 for it. I priced The TC45 and the JD 4600 and by the time I added options that were standard on the TN the compacts were almost as high. I compared the specs and outside of the total length they are pretty close in size. Being I needed something the size of a TC29 I figured I might as well go whole hog! I guess this means I have to keep my 8N and narrow it down for those tight spots the TN won't fit. That price sound like a good deal?

I paid $25k for mine with 11.2-24 front 16.9-30 rears, I didn't get the extra hydraulic couplers but should have and probally still will. Sounds like we got the same deal though and the tractors are easy to operate. How do you like the shifters standing so high you don't have to bend over to shift anymore like on your old ford, that was the first thing I noticed when I drove it. Good luck

If you're going to use it for ag use, step up to the TN. My last tractor was more ag size & I now have a TC. It aint the same for pulling a plow & other ground engaging activities. Even if HP is similar I would recomend going for the heavier unit. It will make much shorter work of the harder jobs. Buy the TN & I am sure you'll be happier in the long run that you did.

I was first quoted $26,100. and I think he quoted the pin-on loader. The salesman I bought it off of quoted the MSL quick attach like I wanted and also found a $750 spiff. I mentioned Deere having 5.9% financing and I got that, too.
Do You have the pin-on or the quick attach loader?

bgott,
Did you get that 5.9% financing thru New Holland? If so, was that only good for the TN's and not the TC's? I was at a New Holland dealer a week or so ago (looking at TC's) and was told that New Holland was offering 6.75% financing. I would certainly be curious to know if the rate has dropped.....
Thanks,

Mine is a pin on loader.

I don't know wether or not it's even a published deal. I think it's an option for the dealer to drop a point to keep the sale. I kind of hoo-hawed around about how the payments on a more expensive JD would be the same with JD's lower rate and he matched it.

Hi,
I was quoted 48@5.9%, 60@6.75%, 72@7.9% & 84@8.5% near Flint, Mi. They said it was through NH. This was for a TC25D.
