Overall This is an update to my earlier review. We have owned our TC30 for over six years now and it is the most useful and reliable piece of equipment we have ever bought. We replaced some of the hydraulic and oil cooler hoses with thicker walled hoses but that is the only repairs we have had to make. We have done all maintenance and service ourselves and have never had to take it to the shop for repair. During this time we have drilled over 200 post holes, mowed countless acres, plowed a nice garden, made a pond deeper and towed our Ford 4000 back to the shed through thick, muddy clay. I am completely impressed with this tractor.

Review By : MRCONCDID on 4/6/2009
Price Paid : $10,000.00
Years of Use : 30-Days
Implements : 5ft bush hog,6ft. box blade, 5 ft. rake, front loader
Purchased From : private party
Strengths 2005 w/ 148 hours.Its new to me and so far I love it
Weaknesses I have a squeak when shifting from forward to reverse
even without the weight of an attachment on 3 point.
any thoughts?
Also the manual states the loader is rated at 850lbs. I am wondering if changing to a larger cylinders and reinforce the arms would make a difference i would like to lift 1,000 to 1500lbs
Overall I think I made a good buy

Review By : Early4breakfas on 1/10/2009
Price Paid : $22,000.00
Years of Use : 3+ Years
Implements : Splitter, Loader, Loader, Back hoe
Purchased From : Dynaco
Strengths Lots of pulling power and traction
Weaknesses Will not start in cold weather. Turning the key to warm the cylinders and then turning key to start in below freezing weather has many times caused the tractor not to start. I was told the solenoid on the starter might be frozen inside. It will always start in non freezing weather. It is a 2002 hydro. 4x4 with bucket and blower. It has become very frustrating especially with all the snow that falls in northern Maine
Overall Good tractor and priced accordingly. I sure wished this non starting problem would not exist.

Price Paid : $15,000.00
Years of Use : 3+ Years
Implements : Front End Loader, 5' Brush Hog, Post Hole Digger, Back Blade, & Landscape Rake
Purchased From : Dealer
Strengths Price vs competion. 4WD pulls through mud & deep snow with no problems. Gets into tight places pretty easy.
Weaknesses Rubber hydraulic hoses (short pieces between components - i.e. oil cooler) have all failed. Probably could have used better quality hose.
Overall I like it and would buy it again.

Strengths
Weaknesses The price of parts are a lot more than the price of parts for other brand name tractors. New Holland does not stand behind their product.
Overall I will never purchase New Holland again. I had problems from day one and New Holland would not stand behind their product and would not even try to work with me. To add insult to injury they called me a liar - in not so many words. Take extreme caution in purchasing a new holland. I think you would be better with another brand. I know I would have been!!!

Review By : AlpacasForever on 7/16/2008
Price Paid : $0.00
Years of Use : 3+ Years
Implements : bucket, forks, box blade, sub-soiler, brush-hog, landscape rake, post-hole digger
Purchased From : Brim Tractor
Strengths Runs great, reliable, takes a ton of abuse and keeps on chugging
Weaknesses None found to date
Overall We bought this for our farm in 2005 and have over 500 hours on it now. It has never failed to start quickly, run well, or perform any job asked of it. We use it for manure collection, digging, a lot of use of clamp-down forks for lifting small pallet loads (up to 500#), post-hole digging, fence-stretching, brush mowing, and road blading.

Strengths Great little tractor when it works.
Weaknesses I too had the engine/trans bolt pull out, 26 months 885 hrs. Tractor in shop for 2 months. New Holland has not accepted responsibility. Dealer went out on a limb, ordered & installed new engine & bell housing, over $10,000. Willing to fight over who pays for repairs.
