Tough Decision

[ans38]

I ordered a NH TN65S 4WD w/33LA loader, 16x16 syncro transmission, cab & 84" Erskine 3pt snowblower today. The whole shooting match came to $28,800.00. It was a tough decision to make between the NH, the Kubota M4900 and the JD 5200 series. I finally ruled out the Kubota due to the aluminum cast housings, which limit the loader's lifting capacity to approx. 2,200 lbs. I drove the tractor and found it to be a very nice handling tractor and much quieter than the NH. The JD 5220 was an excellent tractor, well built, loved the power reverse transmission, but with the factory cab and accessories, priced me out of purchasing. What swayed me to the NH was the dealer's willingness to load the rear tires and throw in 3 more rear remotes at no extra cost, install a radio in the cab at no extra cost, and install the heavy duty bucket at no extra cost, and knock $1,000.00 off the rear snow blower. I expect to take delivery sometime in February. It's a big investment and I hope the NH will be a reliable tractor in the years to come. I will keep this site posted after I receive the tractor and put it to work. Wish me luck.

TN series w/cab...

I won't wish you luck... you won't need it.../w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

I think you made a very good choice! That TN65 is underrated... Nebraska Tractor Tests showed that @ 52 PTO hp.

New Holland's hydraulic's are first rate, nice ergonomics, very well laid out...

Post some pixs and keep us updated...

Congrats...you can sleep good tonight! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Ans38,

Nice buy. It seems you get disproportionately more tractor for your dollar as you pay more.

Maybe compact tractors are too hot now.

David,

I got that picture from New Holland's site {under TN55-2WD}... so I'm assuming it's factory.../w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

What a deal! I'm <font color=green>green</font color=green> with envy. Why don't you tell us who your dealer is and give him a "plug"? It sure sounds like he deserves it.

That is the Fiat color since the TN's are Fiat design anyways, I can not remember which country they are sold that way but it is nice to see. He got an excellent price on that tractor as for $4000 more than what I paid he got Supersteer, Cab and a snowblower. He will enjoy it and I know what he is going thru waiting, except when I was waiting for mine it was during spring tillage so I had plenty of work waiting for it when it showed up.

Jeff,

You never told us what you'll use this new beauty for...?

I'm not that up on the new prices, but it appears our area is priced thousands higher than the rest of the country... and for some reason Texas is one of the lowest priced states for New Holland that I've seen a number of times.

Anyhow, let us know what your plans are with this new worker... /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
