One of my questions to dealer was about planetary drives. Looks like drives on my allis chalmers B. He said they had 0 problems or breakages and as discussed here have been around a long time. Looking from back of tractor it looks like a weak point but have heard nothing to even give the idea merit. tractor also has a high lift rating for its size, 5,025 pounds at 24" on lift arms.
TD75D want to know good or bad.

Do you know if the cabs on these TD tractors are safe for spraying? I seem to remember a salesman telling me that the TN cabs had several air recirculation filters and were OK for pesticide spraying, but with the TD being more "basic" they might have cut corners with items like this.Robert_in_NY said:

Have you checked to see if the PTO engagement is acceptable to you? The tractor is older in design and is basically solid.

I don't think NH cut any corners on the TDD. What they did was basically use off the shelf parts where they could to save money. The cab looks solid but I have not operated one. The biggest thing is to make sure you have the proper filters.
My main use would be disking and cutting hay.
what I understand is that TN series has better filters for cab Hypoallergenic and pesticide safe where TD is just dust filter. I will have to check into it but I will not need it for spraying but it would be nice to know if filters are interchangable. I did not think about pto engagement is there something special about TD set up or is it just basic Live power set up? this is going to be big investment for me and I want to make sure it fits what I need. I am trying to get the farm that has been in my family for 5 generations back into shape. so I am scraping pennies where possible but decided if Im buying tractor anyway that I wanted cab tractor. cant afford all bells and whistles but TD seems to fit what I need. I really appreciate everybodies input.
It's my understanding the PTO is a true independent setup with mechanical lever engagement of a dry clutch. On some of the more deluxe TL models the PTO has a wet clutch with hydraulic/electric engagement.fairlane said:
You should be fine with the dry clutch as long as you don't abuse it or frequently have to start/stop with a heavy PTO load.

The final drives are not planetaries, but bull gear and pinion final drives. I would describe them as outboard bull gear final drives. Bull gears finals have been around longer than rubber tires. Planetary finals are more expensive to build; more bearings, gears and shafts: more gear tooth contact, probably a little more durable in high draft load situations. Bull Gear finals a dealbreaker? Shouldn't be.
