Price Paid : $13,500.00
Years of Use : 3+ Years
Implements : loader, finish mower
Purchased From : New Albany Tractor
Strengths reliable, tough, easy to use. Good in tight places. Starts easy in cold weather. FWA works great.
Weaknesses You have to preheat glowplugs requardless of the temp. Only issue was the fuel gage quit and a bearing in the front end that busted. Parts were a little pricey, but after pricing other comparable brands, New Holland was one of the cheaper ones on parts.
Overall Great little tractor. We use it for all small jobs around the farm. Everything from loading 4x4 round bales, cleaning out the livestock barn, to mowing the grass. I would definatly buy another and recommend it to anyone looking for a compact tractor.

Strengths reliable never let me down untill engine and bell housing had broken.
Weaknesses I was digging a little tetra pond . the engine block and the bell housing flexed or something. the block had broken behind the oil pan.also where the mount for the backhoe is that is where the bell housing had broken.I took the tractor back to miners. they told me there was nothing they could do for me that new holland has had no problems with the tc30 breaking apart. i'm still waiting to see if new holland is going to fix my tc30. tractor only had 843 hr.
Overall overall it's a great tractor. my family loves it. it's never let us down until now.

Price Paid : $12,000.00
Years of Use : 3+ Years
Implements : Front end loader, 5ft bushhog, posthole digger, sicklebar mower, 2 bottom plow, 5ft disk plow, other
Purchased From : Dealer
Strengths
Power, ease of operation, reliability, usability.
Weaknesses None.
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.

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 Jan 10 2009 12:00AM
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.

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!!!
