TN75 info

Goff Farms · May 3, 2009

I'm looking at buying a 2006 New Holland TN75 and before i make the down payment, i want to know the strengths an weaknesses of them are. i mainly gonna use it for hay and silage duty on the farm.

There are numerous TN75 (and other TH owners) on this board. You will hear very few complaints. I've had 2, the latest since 2002. It a TN75D, I have the 16x16 electro hydro shuttle trans and love it. I think it will suit your needs well. Post any specific questions.

I use my tractors hard.
My TN75 has been darn near unstoppable. (TN75DA (cab), 2007 16x16 power shuttle)

I did have to replace the battery in it this last week, I don't think that's a big deal.
I had two hydraulic hoses get cut (they were routed wrong at the factory), and that was the total warranty work I've had in 2 years.

I put it on a PTO dyno, it made 69hp. It's only rated at 67 and I'm at 5000 feet. It's a great motor.

Well designed cab, very ergonomic and easy to get around in, easy to maintain. (unlike the TC cabs which are LTO)

The quick lift feature is awesome, it's my favorite thing on the whole tractor. The 3 point hitch is well designed, incredibly strong and easy to hook up.

It's made in Italy and by far it's been my most reliable piece of equipment, how ironic is that?

The loader is pretty slow. It lifts what it should, but it's slow. But I don't think ag tractor loaders are all that fast so I don't think that's a deal killer.

What's LTO?

Less Than Optimal

More gears never hurts. Inspect the loader (if it has one) mounts for damage due to loose mounts (check the torque). Look at the Nebraska Tractor tests for power and fuel consumption info.

I have a 2006 TN75DA with the 16x16 power shuttle. Perfect hay tractor. They have a very good reputation and are one of the most common utility tractors around.

we have 4 TN75 all 4x4 with cabs..we use them for grading..light clearing the one with loader..finsh mowing in parks...light/rought bushhog with 7ft..8ft..15ft batwing..also 2 are set up with duals wheels for slope/canals mowing.So yes I like them and looking at getting another one.We have put them in places they sould not be but my saying show me the money. And before anybody say something we stay on top of all maintance because we do put the in places no one else will.As anything bad just the normal wear and tear..good luck

I like your TN with the duels, what size and brand are the front tires on that tractor. They look like forestry tires and wheels.

Thank you

howierd3866 · May 13, 2009

the rims are factory new holland set up for a grading tractor. All I did was change the front tire from R3 to R1 type.I will check size and brand when I get back by that tractor.

howierd3866 · May 15, 2009

I work at a new holland dealership and I have had 2 tn75 traded in within the last month, they just wanted something bigger. It will aldepend on what you are trying to do with it. We also put up silage and silage bales, the silage bales were sometimes weighing over 2000 lbs and that tractor will not handle that.

Sure will
I've lifted many a pallet of fertilizer with my TN75

That's 2500lbs plus the pallet, in a 40x48 pallet.

works fine, doesn't even strain.

I agree with LoneCowboy, there is something ? about this statement. My TN75 will easily lift 3000 lbs. I have moved many 2000 lb round bales without any problems including stacking them 3 high on a semi flatbed. Sure a larger tractor would make it easier but that type of work is well within the capabilities of a TN. It is not within the capabilities of a compact.

So... did you pull the trigger on a TN75? They are good, solid, dependable tractors. Don't think you'll go wrong with one!

charleyfarmall · May 20, 2009

TN75 should handle upwards of 4,000 pounds ( properly ballasted of course). No matter what tractor you end up with, if it has a loader put fluid in the rears.

For 4000 lbs, fluid plus 1200 to 1500 on 3 pt hitch
