The TT-A / Hesston 66 Series Connection

[Big O Dave]

In past posts, dgl24087 has indicated that the New Holland TT-A Series of tractors is based upon the Fiat/Hesston 66 Series from the '80s. From looking at the brochure linked to below, it certainly appears he is correct.

Obviously, the sheet metal has been updated, as have the engines, and the transmissions have been changed, but the entire rear end appears to have been used without too many changes.

Take a look!

As the owner of a 3010s the precursor to the TT series I agree. The components in the Hesston material look very familiar.
