Purchased a T4.75 with the works back in June 2011. It arrived approx 1 month ago. Agree with another posting. Supposedly NH was working out the kinks before it was shipped to the states. While the tractor seems fine so far, it's too early to tell. I have discovered several issues with it.

1. No parking brake with the 12x12 tranny. Not sure about the other transmission. It has a parking position similar to the JD quad range. Problem is with hooking up a wagon, etc. It works like an auto transmission. You can't position the tractor exactly where you need it. It can move a inch or two in either direction. Sometimes it is difficult to get into the park position as well. It just won't go without moving the tractoro a little (forward/reverse) for it to find the correct position. Could be something with being new, but suspect an issue. Why can't engineers leave things alone that work! The good ole parking brake is very effective on my TN and T6000s.

2. Do not purchase the self-leveling loader if you are going to use it for anything except loading pallets on trucks and the load is level when you start. The bucket cylinders are too short and you have no movement of the bucket. At ground level, you can only tilt it approx 30 degrees. They say they are working on a fix. Response is fine for European consumer, but not US consumer???? Do not know the difference in the consumer. Maybe they don't move ground, wood, brush, round bales, etc over there.

3. Am told one must purchase the loader with tractor, so if it doesn't have one, it will be another brand of loader for you if you need a loader. Another issue with the loader is greasing the rear loader pins. The zerks are on the inside where they can be gotten without taking the loader off (to tight to the tractor hood).

4. The radio speakers appear to be of very poor quality. Not a surprise, but the tractor manufacturers need to understand that with the decibal levels of this equipment, there is a need for quality clear speakers. It not having bluetooth capability is a little surprise given this tractor is to be new from ground up.

5. Do like the hydraulic shuttle. Smooth and easy to use .

well i will say that you CAN pruchase a tractor with out a loader and if you wanted one later, you can get the 655TL just like comes on it from the factory......that is no problem at all.........I will say on a 2wd Powerstar, NH is still in the works on making the front axle stronger, so as of the moment they will not put a loader on a 2wd. you can put an after marlet on it, but if somehting were to happen to the front axle, then you are responsible for it.....

You parking postion on your range lever may need to be adjusted. we have had to adjust a couple..no biggy.....

as far the speakers, couldnt tell you......the ones i have heard sound good to me....but it doesnt mean yours may be different or something......
