I now have 150 hours on my TN (cab)
WHAT A GREAT TRACTOR.
The TN75 is turbo, which i believe is a huge plus at altitude and this thing makes MONSTER power. I actually put it on the PTO dyno at the shop one time and it made 67 PTO hp. That's amazing. It's a beast.

It's got great ergonomics. It's comfortable, everything is in natural reach, you don't have to do any awkward placements to get at stuff and everything is adjustable.

Mine has the Power Shuttle (16x16), I think this is the way to go, although I keep pushing in the clutch sometimes. Very quick to do loader work with the PS. The loader is very strong. It just lifts up 2500lbs of fertilizer on a pallet at idle and you walk away with it. The loader also sticks out in front, so it's got good visibility.

It's incredibly easy to hook up the loader and more importantly anything on the 3point. Extensible link arms, movable shield on the PTO shaft, great toplink bar, etc.

I'd definately buy another one.

Its always good to hear that when a machine is rated for something (like PTO wise) it meets that requirement or exceeds it. 67 PTO is huge and will twist PTO shafts like a pretzel in no time. I only can wish I had more experience with that type of machine beside a quick demo in a dealer lot.
Whats the weight of that bad boy, and what do you use to trailer it? (truck/trailer setup).
I keep forgetting how important it is taking into account sea level height with diesels and gas motors. So much power is lost when you reach high altitude levels. Turbo seems to be the only equalizer in these cases

Picture are a must! I will make the thread a sticky

yeah, need some pictures, I'll see what I can do.

It weighs 6000lbs empty. I figure the loader weighs about a 1000lbs (or front weights which I run in the summer, which weigh 600)
I have rear wheel weights which are 600 and figure most implements in that class weigh about 2000lbs.
So, total the tractor is about 9000lbs usually.

I haul it around on a Econoline 25' gooseneck tilt trailer pulled with a Chevy 2500HD duramax. The trailer weighs 4500 to 5000lbs, puts me right at 13,000 to 14,000lbs, which is the limit. Truck is 9200GVW, so that combines to be 24,000 (or so, I can't do math) which is still class C here in colorado. No CDL needed.
BARELY.

Yeah, I don't run class 1 stuff on it, it would just bust it up. I think the 3point hitch lifts just under 4000lbs. It's BEEFY.

I think that trailer would put me in CDL land no matter what I did

I would love to see that monster in action with FEL and rear attachments - thats a true beast

Did you see the NH website link on the other thread, what model or new machine is close or similar to what you have?
