new holland tc30

My tractor is a 2005 New Holland TC30, it will not start unless I jump it from battery to solenoid. Even if I do this it will run for a while then die, won't restart unless I jump it, but only after something cools off. I know there are several safety start switches, but not sure where they are...

I have, what appears to be, a common issue. However, following all other's previous recommended fixes, I still have my issue. Background: I have a 2004 New Holland TC30. HST. Starts and runs great. I can move the bucket. It will run all day long as long as I don't take off parking brake or take...

My daughter has a 2003 New Holland TC30 FWA tractor with 400 hrs and is looking for a loader for it. A 7308 is what it takes but can't find one. Ant aftermarket loaders for that tractor?

2003 TC30 manual/550hrs (500hr service done) Mostly runs good... Periodically needs to bleed hydraulics to get air out. However the other day, I was going down driveway and sounded like transmission gears were dry on oil. Just a mesh/whirring sound. I put the tractor in 4x4 and it went away...

After bush hogging the field, brought the tractor up to top it off with fuel. Shut it down, put fuel in, and now nothing. I mean nothing. No lights, no cylinder warm up, absolutely nothing. Battery is 2 months old showing 12.5V resting. Advice please?

Recently purchased a mid 2000's New Holland TC30. It has the little Shibaura N843 - 3 Cyl Diesel. I purchased the tractor not-running. Supposedly, the injector pump was gummed up.. and was disassembled prior to my purchase. I have the bucket of parts and the pump housing..and some of the...

New hoses for loader on my TC30 and I need to match the 4 hoses from quick coupler end to steel hydraulic lines. The color code rings on steel lines no longer exist. A pic or 2 would help. Thanks

Hoping someone with a repair manual can look this up for me... After my third time bleeding the injector pump, I'm finally ready to admit I should fix my fuel gauge, and I've started on the diagnostics. With the tank nearly full, I'm getting a reading of 11 ohms from the sender. Does anyone know...

Earlier this winter, when I wanted to go blow the first snow, the tractor was totally dead. It worked just fine a few weeks earlier when I mounted the front snow blower. Lights and turn signals worked, and battery checked O. K. After reading comments here on TBN, I concluded that the problem...

Question from a new member...for a NH TC30. It has been losing power and getting harder to start, especially when warmed up. Changed air and fuel filters. How can I check for fuel pressure and what should it be? All electrical seems fine.

Does anyone know if the top bolt on the bushing screws into a nut fixed in place on the radiator mount, or does it slide through the hole and a nut gets screwed down on it? Schematic doesn't show a nut going onto the bolt, but on tractor looks like it is screwed down. Have a replacement...

My husband and I are thinking of buying a new John Deere. We have an older TC30. Except for the ancient Massey Ferguson that his father used to have - we don't know alot about tractors. We are trying to understand how old our TC30 is to evaluate a fair trade in value. Can anyone tell me...

Just recently I have been having trouble keeping my TC30 running, first of all my battery has been going dead and i think it is due to a short somewhere. To temporarily fix the problem I put a disconnect on the negative side of battery until I have time to find short. Charged battery up and...

I was mowing with a 2006 New Holland TC30. I ran over a small scrub oak and the tractor was hung up underneath. The tractor died and when I tried to restart it the air flow light on the dash comes on and it will not start. I checked underneath the tractor and all wires and connections appear to...

Hi, I currently have a NH TC30 I bought in 2003. Thinking of getting a Kioti. Which models should I look at? I want to stay in the 25-30 horse range. A little smaller would be OK. I need a loader. I might consider a belly-mower. Suggestions? Jerry

I've been lurking the forums for ages and coming closer and closer to getting a tractor. I've got 8ac at home currently of grass & brushy/woody/rocky hill, and an endless list of chores to do. While economically I know I'm better off renting a tractor, I end up doing a lot of extra manual...

I have a TC30 and would like to run a 6' wide 3 point mounted finish mower. Is this too big or do I need a 5'? The engine is 30 hp. HST drive and the rear PTO is rated for 24 hp.

I have a 2005 TC30 and the clutch seems to be slipping or not fully engaging. I bought it new and I only have 500+ hours on it but its definitely getting worse. Does OK in low range but in mid range after it warms up it will hardly get up a slight incline in 2nd or 3rd gear. Is there any...

I recently replaced the seals on the lift cylinders on the front end loader on my NH TC30. I also replaced the Hydraulic fluid and hydraulic filter. When I finished this the clutch felt a little loose and the tractor will at first would hardly move and then quit moving in high or low range. Any...

Hi All, I'm looking for any pointers on my shifting problem. I have a 2007 TC30 with a manual transmission. It's stuck in the low range gear. I can't even get it to go into neutral on the H-M-L shifter. When I say stuck I mean the lever moves just fine and I hear the click between gear shifts...

I need to replace the sway adjusters on my new holland tc30. I would like to find some of the telescoping adjustable ones and if I have to replace the lift arms I would consider doing that. Anybody have suggestions or a source.

Has anyone on here added an aftermarket oil pressure gauge to their New Holland TC tractor? I need to know what thread size the oil pressure switch is. I screwed out the factory oil pressure switch and tried to screw in my 1/8 NPT oil line and found that it is not NPT. Anyone done this before?

I have a New Holland TC 30 that I recently bought. The turn buckle is frozen on it and the dealership said that I need to remove it and bring it in but I have no idea how to remove it...help.

Hi, I was looking at tractors and came across this site. I see some people have given the 790 a bad review. Too light seems to be the same complaint. So here is what I am looking for. A 4x4 30Hp Gear driven tractor with Front end loader. I have a 2020 and a 500A backhoe. Which are to heavy...

I have a TC30 without a FEL and need to plumb into the tractor's hydraulic system to run a dual axis joystick that will be mounted at the rear of the tractor. The joystick (Brand Hydraulic Loader Directional Control Valve LV22RFSTKAB with Joystick Regen | eBay) will be used to run a Woods TSG50...

I have a 2003 NH TC30 and debating the purchase of a Woods TSG50 stump grinder or a dedicated grinder (Vermeer SC252) to clear 6+ acres of level, rock-free land on the Suwannee River. My local New Holland Dealer is recommending I have them install a single rear remote ($1050 parts + $300...

Hello from Georgia!

Here's how I added approx. 300-LBS and a functional front bumper to my NH TC30... CHEAP! Piece of scrap railroad track. Works like a champ and only have about $5 invested in the black spray paint used to cover it. Better traction in 4WD, offsets the 640-LB Rhino 160 brush hog on the 3-PT...

After reading MANY posts on this forum, I recently purchased my first tractor... a 2003 NH TC30, HST, 4x4 w/ R4 tires (no FEL as I also own a skid steer), with a 914A mid-deck direct drive PTO finish mower. LOVE THIS TRACTOR!!! The TC30 was my final choice over the John Deere 1020. The...

I'm picking up a 2003 NH TC30 4x4 w/R4 tires this weekend. Can anyone provide the measurement between the two rear tires and the measurement between the two front tires? The U-Haul auto transport trailer I hope will do the job has an open mid-span of 39". MAX width is not a problem. It's the...

Buying a first compact tractor has proven to be more difficult than I ever imagined. I like the older John Deere 1020 and Massey Ferguson 135, but as a maintainer and NOT A MECHANIC, I am also attracted to the 'newer tractors' like the New Holland TC30. Are parts readily available for the...

Have settled on a used TC30 as my choice for a first tractor (bushhog duties on 6 acres, flatland). Unable to find fuel usage/consumption figures during all my research. Anyone with a TC30 willing to share their first-hand experience and GPH operating a TC30 at PTO throttle setting? Thanks in...

I am looking for a good, used (not abused) NH TC30. Doesn't have to be in showroom condition, but it must be in good condition (no projects, junk or repairs needed. I am not a mechanic, I am a maintainer. :D). I am located in North Central Florida but willing to drive anywhere in the...

I have had this TC30 for over 4 years now with no problems, but today the hydraulics started to give me problems, the rear lift will not lift at idle and at higher rpms will be very jerky and slow, same goes for the loader. Two weeks ago I replaced the Hyd filter and added to the fluid...

We have New Holland TC30 tractor, when the tractor is under load, the governor won't kik in, it tends to loose power at this point. Would this be caused by a dirt, gummed up fuel pump?

Brief description on how it started.... Was using box blade dragging dirt when i started loosing power. My first thought fuel filter! Made it back to the barn and changed out the filter. I bled the pump with the bleed of bolt on top of the pump. Thought it was OK so i went back to dragging...

I think I post this question in the wrong section before,it was in the New Holland section. My TC30 starting leaking rear axle oil, is this a big job to fix? Is there a place to find torque specs ?. Will I need special Tools. On a fixed income so I must try and fix myself if possible. Thanks for...

Bought a front mount snow blower, for my TC30 with manual transmission. Dealer told me I would need a mid PTO. Bought the kit. Says (in the instructions. yes I read them!!!) it takes two hours to install the kit."How bad can it be", says I. Pull the TC30 into the garage (with no heat) and drain...

My New Holland TC30 shuts off when I get out of the seat. The tractor is in neutral when this happens. It worked perfect this morning. Went out and pushed up some brush and now it dies when I stand up. I tried taking it in and out of gear. Any help is appreciated.

Greetings, I'm new to the forum and need a little help with an issue on my TC30. I live on PEI Canada, it's cold brr. I had my tractor parked outside for a few hours after blowing snow etc in cold temps -25C (-13F) with windchill. This is a 2007 and never had a HST problem. However when...

Working on a NH TC30d, The hydrostatic transmission has extremely high pressure. It is blowing the O-ring out of the filter when the tractor is throttled up. As long as the disconnect is held down it can be run @ full throttle with no issue. Anyone have an idea?

Was just at a local dealer looking at a TC30 w/ loader with 2400 hours. was used at a horse farm to mostly move manure around. back of the loader bucket is rotting through in areas, back fenders also rotted through in areas. Some of the hydro hoses are starting to crack /dry rotted but no...

Was just at a local dealer looking at a TC30 w/ loader with 2400 hours. was used at a horse farm to mostly move manure around. back of the loader bucket is rotting through in areas, back fenders also rotted through in areas. Mechanically it seems fine, they are asking 8500. Is this a good deal ?

I just replaced the fuel filter (low power and dies). Also bled fuel lines to injector pump and the injector lines to the cylinders. The problem is that the tractor runs fine for few minutes and then loses power and dies. Bleed the lines again and then runs and dies as before. Is there another...

I've got a 2007 New Holland TC30 that has a frame mounted back hoe and front end loader. I'm located in western Kentucky, and I am not sure what I need to do maintenance wise. If some one could tell me what oil and filters I need to change, I would greatly appreciate it. I've had it for a...

Had an attack of stupidity and ran my TC 30 empty. Didn't have an owners manual as I purechased it at an auction. If you run yours dry bleeding is simple. Fill the top mounted fuel tank which applies pressure to fuel line. Located on top of the injector pump is a hex head bolt. Open it about 4...

Recently, while mowing with a shredder, a large ball of tall grass started wrapping around the tractor's rear axle, left side only. (Between the wheel & transmission) I've spent a few hundred hours mowing with this New Holland TC30, and this is my first time to encounter this particular...

I have recently purchased a TC30 and have a few small problems I'd like to get worked out. I have scoured this forum and can not find answers to these. I do not have the manual, and can not find one that does't come with a wild price tag. Even some PDF files are $80+ dollars, really? Why so...

Hi Folks, I am a newbie to the forum and farm tractors. I did a search on the forum for my question, but couldn't find the answer. I apologize if this has been answered else where. I am helping a lady by doing some maintenance jobs around her small horse farm.....things are in pretty bad...

I have a 2003 NH TC 30. Great tractor, but due to my arthritis, it feels more cramped than it did when I got it. Today- after bush hogging my back field and neighbor's field this week, I finally decided to move the seat back. I was tired of sitting on the fender and standing as I drove- though...

Just acquired a worn out New Holland TC30. I'm just checking out what others may have to say about the machine.

The farm I work on has a New Holland TC30 that just quit in mid-field while tillling. Nothing worked - no lights, turn signals, instrument panel lights and it wouldn't crank, click or anything. I called our dealer and got a lot of suggestions, but nothing that helped. I'm not particularly...

First, I am TOTALLY new to tractors. Please bear with me :) Initial use this winter: clearing snow. Next summer: mowing lawn (already sold on flail mowers, figure 5' minimum) Next summer or later: - planting orchard trees - cleaning up the woods (19 acres, mostly hardwoods and mostly on a hill...

I have a Kioti CK 20 and like it very much but would like a little bigger tractor. Yesterday my wife and I were at a garage sale and the people had a New Holland TC30 sitting behind the house. I asked about it and the guy said he was going to be selling it soon. He said he bought it new 7 or 8...

Hey, I'm new here and want to say hello in advance. I just bought a 2007 TC 30 HS with FEL and BH. 318 hours on it and while I looked for any signs of leaks in the snow below it before I bought it... get it home clean it up (1st mistake) and looks like I have hydro fluid coming from between the...

While turning over my windrows the other day I got hay wrapped around the front drive shaft and subsequently have developed a leak from the seal where the front drive shaft exits the transmission. It looks like I need to split the tractor to change an $8.00 seal. Anyone else had this issue?

While turning over my windrows the other day I got hay wrapped around the front drive shaft and subsequently have developed a leak from the seal where the front drive shaft exits the transmission. It looks like I need to split the tractor to change an $8.00 seal. Can this be true? :mad:

what Amsoil diesel engine oil would be ok for my 2007 TC30?

I recently bought a used 2005 New Holland TC30 with 77 hours. I knew this was a economy tractor, but now I am wondering if I should have waited and bought a 30 Hp Boomer but from what I can tell most of the differences are cosmetic. The only features I think I would want is the deluxe 3 point...

My tractor is in Utah in storage... I am in NV. I am driving there tomorrow... but I lost the key and I have to move it. I don't know the serial number to purchase the right key before I get there. What is a "smart" procedure for removing the key switch to start the tractor? After that I...

I'm looking at a TC 30 w/550 hours on it...it has the HST transmission... when I push on the hydro pedal it makes a little screach before it gets goin'...in forward or reverse...in H M, or L...all the gears...it just makes the little screach....is that normal? Thanks in advance....

I owned a 2004 tc-30 4x4 tractor a few years back, it came with R1 ag tires and rims. When it had 124 hours on it I replaced the ag's with R4 tires. I still have this complete set of ag tires and rims 90% tread, no cuts sitting on my shelf, anyone looking for these? they will fit all the mid...

Does anyone have any experience owning one? I found a 2007 program tractor with 3hrs on it with FEL for $13,999 cash. Is this a good deal? Will it pick up 4x5 round bales? I have one barn that is a bit tight for cleaning out and this would definitly fit the bill.

Hello All, I've been reading and learning for awhile and as a first post have a question. I've operated heavy equipment all my life but never had much experience in rigging hydraulics. I have a NH TC30, about 110 hours of firewood processing and driveway maintenance on it now. I'm working on...

Okay, here is the deal. I have a NH TC30 that I am very pleased with. The only exception to my pleasure in using this tractor is that the TC30 is a standard gear transmission, and I think after about four years now I would prefer a hydro drive tractor. The Deere dealership is a good bit closer...

Recently I traded my 5+ year old New Holland TC30 for a Kubota L3400. The two tractors fill the same market niche. Both are quality machines; neither is clearly superior. Some readers may however find the following comparison useful. If I had it to do over, probably would have bought the...

I just bought my first tractor - got a 2004 TC30 with the hydostatic - 7308 loader, a 6 ft tiller for $9,900... which seems to be a good deal. The only thing is it has a lot of hours - about 2200. Anyway, I'd like to look over safety precautions, maint intervals, etc in the operator...

I've been moving back in forth between old and new and I just came across this deal and it looks almost too good to pass up. TC30 1-1 1/2 old 120 hours. Gear. FWD, FEL being sold at a reputable dealer about 8 miles from our farm. The tractor was a trade in for an 80 year old gentleman...

Any TC30 owners forget and leave parking brake on or just me? Has any one came up with a warning light or some way to help one remember to disengage the brake before driving? I sure would appreciate any solutions you may have.

About 12 acres of a 12 degree slope, general use and would also need a backhoe, auger, tiller. TC30 price was 14,999 for tractor with loader which seems a lot less expensive than the B7800 hsd-f for 16,198 or L2800 hst-f for 16,454. The kubota guy was really pushing the B7800 because it was 4...

I am looking at purchasing a compact utility tractor. Have looked at the JD2320 and the New Holland TC30 - price comparison is about $1000 difference between the two. The NH TC30 is manual transmission and 30 hp - includes loader and 6 ft Bush Hog rotary cutter. The JD 2320 is 24 hp and...

OK, 2003 TC30 TRACTOR ONLY looks brand new . 240 Hours, HST, the guy keeps it in a barn. The tires still have the flashing on them! It doesn't even have dust on it. He wants $7,200. I'm in northwest Arkansas. Any ideas or comments Thanks to all M

I will be taking delivery of my brand new New Holland TC30 tractor this week. I bought it with MFWD, FEL, HST and turf tires. I also bought a 60" Bush Hog mower and a Woods landscape rake. So, anything I should know about this machine? Any "must haves" for it? Any info is appreciated...

Hello all, Been lurking here reading threads & trying to decide which tractor to buy. Needed something to mow 4-5 acres, do a little bush hogging and some light loader work with gravel and dirt. Have 52+ acres of rolling to hilly terrain, although the mowing will be done on the not so hilly...

Hi guys, I was at my dealer today looking around and I think I am pretty much sold on a new TC30. Havn't gotten a final price from him yet but it is around 19500 with loader an R4's(but I might want turfs?) and HST. Anyway he also mentioned that next week he will be getting a 1999 or 2000 1925...

I am wondering if anyone has put the "CCM" hydro top and side links on their tc30, and if they will work with the NH 757 sub-frame backhoe, or if I would have to take them off to mount my hoe? Thanks! Daryle.

I'm looking at a small 30hp tractor with front end load, box blad and brush hog. I am going with 4wd and have did comparisons and read different reviews. Now it is time to ask for opinions of guys that actually use the tractors and not those trying to sell them. Please chime in and give me...

Howdy from Mississippi, first post attempt. I will be managing @ 50 acres, first chore is to build a house, maintain 1,000ft driveway, landscape, mow abt 10 acres, manage brush piles pushed up by the bulldozer when clearing for the house. At this point my choices are a 2wd TC30 w/FEL for $7k...

I am still learning the terminology of tractors and still have not figured out how to compare apples to apples and not to oranges. Kubota and NH are both within 20 minutes of me and are full service dealers with good reputations from what I have heard so far. The NH TC30 is my front running...

Hey guys! I have been mostly in the buying and pricing section but sense I pretty much have narrowed my choice down to a NH I figured I would pop in and introduce myself and see if I can get some advice. I own a small farm with about 8 acres of pasture to maintain. We are going to be...

My local dealer quoted a 790 with a FEL and boxblade for ~15000. I found a dealer about 4 hrs from me with a TC30 and FEL for the same price. I'm kinda torn between the 2. Part of me says "Go green", the dealer is closer and I haven't read many complaints from owners about this tractor. Plus, I...

Can anyone offer any opinions on these before I take a chance and spend $300+? Having worked on many different brands of cars & motorcycles over the years, I have good ones (Honda and Ducati) along with those that leave some important items out (Suzuki & Toyota). Do they cover general repair...

Hi Guys Been a passive member for years, waiting for 18 years to get a machine to manage my tree farm property. Found a nice TC30 9X3 with 7308 FEL & 757C BH with low hours and am now learning to use it properly. First project was patching up the farm driveway. Next was a 'portable' garage...

Pictures of my new TC30 along with a 60 inch KingKutter tiller. Does a real nice job. Planting a food plot for deer and turkey behind the house.

I went tractor shopping yesterday and was quoted $13,340. for a Kioti CK30 4WD Gear transmission tractor and a different dealer quoted $11,700 for the similar NH TC30. No implements or additional equipment. I believe these quotes are MSRP. Both dealers are reputable. The only differences I...

Hi guys and gals, i am new to the forum but not tractors though i still have a good bit to learn about them,anyways i will be building a house around march or april of next year and will soon need a machine to cut the lawn of 1 acre and maintain another 12 acres we have, I will not be alone at...

Hi all, I'm thinking of getting rid of my 2210D Yanmar next Spring and getting a new TC30 4wd 9x3. I have been calling some local dealers to get pricing. I figured Corriher Imp. and Tarheel Tractor had the lowest prices so I used there prices to see if local dealers will come close. To my...

How do does this quote sound from a dealer in NE Pennsylvania: TC30 HST 4wd R4s - 16700 6 ft Landpride RFM - 1475 NH 757C backhoe - 5000 Total deal: 23,175 To me the backhoe is seems pretty good. Don't no about the rest.

Just got back from the dealer and he is offering the TC30 with HST and an SMC FEL with R4's for $16,995. He is also offering 0% for 60/m, zero down, no payments for 90 days. Obviously the financing offers cannot be beat, but what about the pricing?

I am as excited as I was when i purchased my first new car. Really can't wait till i get it home. when ever that is. They will have to order the BH and install the subframe. I almost purchased an International 3414 4cyl diesel, wow what a machine. big. ran great every thing worked bad...

I have a New Holland tc30 with 317 hrs on it, I have always used Shell Rotella oil in it. I have been thinking about going to Shell synthetic oil, someone told me running the synthetic oil would make you engine last much much longer. I was told that the engine used in the New Holland tc30 is a...

I am looking at buyng one of these three tractors, in a non hytrostactic model and would like your comments regarding all three for my situation. I don't need a front end loader but would definitely buy a 4 wheel drive model. I have 45 acres of timberland and 45 acres of which 35 acres is...

My local dealer quted me this price is this a bit high?

I am debating my first tractor purchase. Mostly what I will be doing is lawn/pasture mowing and FEL work dealing with a small horse farm. Th two tractors it is coming down to is the FarmTrac 270DTC and the NH TC30. I have ben looking at gear drives because of price but reading some things on...

Hello, sorta been lurking for the last few months and have learned quite a bit of the knowledge shared here. I'm ready to buy, and unfortunately, its much like going to a car dealership and trying to get a reasonable deal without getting the (pto) shaft. I'm doing about 12-14 acres of...

NH TC30 5 amp fuse blowing...i\'m going nuts!!! I only have 185 hours on the tractor and I got it from the guy I bought my house from. The neighbor doesn't recall the guy ever having trouble with it. It's a great tractor (my first), but I've been having horrible frustration from it. It's...

I bought a used tc30 a few weeks ago. It only has a few hours on it and still has some warrantee left. Soooooo.... I hope it'll be some time before I need to ask for repair advice. This place looks like a great resource!

I have a New Holland TC30 with 185 hours on it. I bought it with the house I just bought. I have been using it to mow the lawn, but have some questions. I had some problems with the safety switch/alternator fuse blowing very often. It seems to have stopped after I took the dash apart and...

hi guys thank you for reading my post, i just bought a 2003 Tc30 with 7308 loader. The tractor has got 48 hours on it and i am ready to perform 50 hour service. The service shouldn't be a problem but i wondered if you new if i can get the filters and oil at a regular auto parts store, i don't...

Well, after changing my mind about a hundred times, I finally settled on a TC30 4WD with 7308 FEL. Also threw in a box blade and Rhino rotary cutter as well. I can't wait to get it!!

Thanks all. I'll posts some pics soon. jd buying has all my post on the decision making process.

Comparing Kubota L3400HST vs NH TC30 4WD HST. Which one is better? Let's hear those opinions!

I need some help on this subject. I have a 9N with a 5' bush hog that I use to mow my 10 acre field once a month. I want to buy a new tractor with about the same dimensions as the 9N so it can fit in my shed. One dealer told me the TC30 is fine and another said it's not powerful enough to pull...

Was almost set to buy the TC30 and stopped at the JD dealer, now I don't know which way to go. Price of tractor and equipment is pretty comparable, so decision is what are the differences in the two? Both are standard tran, both with loader, belly mower, bushhog (TC is Bushhog brand, JD is...

Any advice on buying a new NH TC30 or a used NH 1720? The 1720 is 2wd with 375 hours, asking price $6,000 with blade. Looks very clean. Are there any compelling reasons to go with the new TC30 over the used 1720? I'm trying to decide if it is worth the extra $4,000 to $5,000 for the new...

Well it was a tough decision today, I had the Deere credit lined up and the 790 tractor quote in hand this morning, when I decided to take one more look at the NH TC30 w/7308 FEL. I discovered several more things about the TC30 operator position that I really liked. The Deere dealer was not...

Iv'e been lurking around this site the past couple of weeks and have been gleening very valuable info. I just purchased a New Holland TC30 w/7308 Loader. to be delivered 1/7/2005. I'm sure to be posting lots of ??? the next couple of weeks.

What is your opinion between the NH TC30 and the Kubota L3400 ( 4WD, FEL)? How about price? Any other suggestions for the 30-35HP, 4WD, FEL setup??

i have a tc30 with 180hrs, the steering seems to be sluggish, fluid is ok, no leaks that i can see, and the tire pressure is normal...im eventually going to bring it to the dealer or have them come get it.....anything else i can do before that....thanks.

I've taken care of my 5 acres with my trusty 2N for years, but as it gets older and crankier (me too) I would like to buy a compact tractor to make the work easier. I wasn't planning on buying for about a year, but if a really good deal came along I would take it. There is a tractor down the...

I am considering buying this tractor but would like to know the pros and cons of it. This is the mechanical transmission model and has two wheel drive. I plan to pull a 6 foot finishing mower and maybe buy a tiller to go with it at a later time. It will be used on 5 acres primarily. Also...

Hi, I'd appreciate opinions on the TC 30 vs the B7800. Both with Hyd trans and loaders. I have 2 acres of woods to clean up and 2 acres of level grass to mow regularly. Thanks again, Brett W ps, price 14,700 for the TC30 (Bush Hog loader) and 14,652 B7800. (Kubota loader)

I have been test driving tractors, namely the farmtrac 360dtc, the NH tc30 and a back year (new) tc29d that I could get for the same price as a tc30 (that got me interested). I really like the power of the farmtrac, and the shifting mechanism seems like the best I have ever tried. I have some...

I'm looking at a TC30 4x4 hydro with the 7308 loader and backhoe. What are typical price ranges for this setup? I've browsed a dealer or two and talked to some salespeople, but haven't ever gotten a definitive price. Also, one dealer said that he only sells the BushHog backhoes with his...

I live in southern OH and will be bush hogging on some hillside and would like to get my rear tires as wide as possible.. Any one recommend a aftermarket wheel that will spin Out?? thanks

give me the scoop on these 2 tractors one better than the other . 4wd. front loader,xtra weight in back?

Well, after over a year of looking, I finally "did the deed" and bought a new TC30 hydro with R4 tires and a 7308 loader. It will be delivered in about a week. I can't wait. I did a lot of research on this site by searching older posts and following the progress of others in their search...

How would these two compare? The Kubota seems too priced higher, but has less horsepower. It has the hydro shift which isn't a big deal to me. How do they stack up with FEL lifting weights, and 3pt hitch power? Is there a comparison between the two? Which is more all around tractor.

Just wondering what I should expect to pay for a new TC30 with the proper FEL and R4 tires in upstate NY. Any thoughts and or suggestions for add on items I may need?

In my search for a tractor I have come accross different and confusing pricing structures. One involves the TC29D and the TC30. A comparably equipped TC30 (with FWD and HST) is about $2000 less than the TC29D. I would appreciate any ideas on the significant reasons for this difference. Thanks...

Hello, I have a Yanmar YBH-660 backhoe that I used on my old NH 1210. It is only a 3-point mount. I do know that Woods manufactured these hoes for Yanmar. I've since traded my 1210 in for a new TC30 I guess my question is, does anyone know if and where I might be able to get a frame mount kit...

Just got my NEW TC30 / R4\'s ??? Hello, Just had to write and say its official. I've traded my 1210 in and got that NEW tractor I've always wanted. I think its great. A TC30 HST with a 7308 FEL. Feels good to join the following of TC30 owners. I just took notice that a guy has one about 5...

Narrowed down to these 2 units, both in FWD Questions: 1. what is "sliding gear" transmission? Is it syncro? Manual tranny is what I want. Are the JD and NH both "sliding gear"? Do they "shift on the fly"? 2. JD is 4 speed with 2 ranges. It appears NH is 3 speed with 3 ranges. Is this correct...

Hello to all. I am totally new to this wonderful site. Started "lurking" yesterday after being referred from another site that I was getting info on. Here's my situation: 19 acres (16 rented out for farming). The other 3 acres I have 2 horses on with 54 x 30 barn, good sized vegetable...

Hi guys, I've just been lurking around here lately soaking up the info, but today I ordered a TC30 and will get it next Thursday. Thanks for all the posts and good info. Dan, TC30 Hydro FEL Woods Backhoe

I am trying to make some tough decisions - new versus used, hp, cost, etc. - about which tractor I should purchase. I've been doing some research (especially posts on TBN which have been very helpful) and have visited five dealers (blue, green and orange variaties). We have 16 acres, mostly...

TC30 HST with 7308 loader and delivery to my home (87 miles away) 15,800. Also bucket has quick disconnect digging teeth. This is the HST not the 9x3 which seems to be the norm on the TC30. Wish it had the fold down ROP !!!!!! What do you think of this price ?

Well, these two machines are now the most comparable between blue and orange imo .... Anyone care to comment on their comparison?

I've narrowed my choices to the New Holland TC30 or the Kubota L3000. Any comments as to the better choice? Thanks.

I am new to the forum, wonder if any NH TC 30 owners have a rear end PTO roto-tiller ? If so what width, and brand, and how does it perform ? does the TC30 have the power to pull a 60 in. tiller ? anyone have any prices on such ? BOY! i am full of questions !

I am going to be taking delivery of my new TC30 as soon as the dealer can get a 7308 FEL to put on it . The currnet proposal is 16.950.00. And after that i asked to have a block heater and canopy installed. He guessed another 500.00 Is that price a little on the high side? So far I have only...

hello, while I have just registered I have been "lurking" here for a while. I am finally ready to buy a new tractor and have decided on NH. The machine will be 90% used for mowing, but may be used in small scale agri. (4-6 acres) in the future. My better half does a lot of the mowing so i would...

How many TC30 owners/users we have lurkin 'round here? This tractor has piqued my interest. I know mrwrum's got one ... anyone else? This unit seems to stand alone where the big 3 are concerned. Wonder if the concept will waft into the orange and green marketing depts. If ya own a TC30...

Here is a picture of my new TC30. The canopy is from Westendorf. It seems pretty sturdy, It adjusts about 6-8" from to back. Time will tell if it is a good one. It looks pretty darn good...Tooth bar fits very good, I had one on my old case 1818 skid steer and I liked that very much. It was about...

Ok, what gives? Just got back from the dealer and was offered a TC30 for $400 less than a TC29D. To me the specs look the same and the two seem to fit me the same. The guy doesn't hve an overstock. So can anyone give a reasonal guess as to why?

Just received another quote on a TC30 package. TC30 Tractor, 4X4, Hydro, R4's,block heater,rear work light 7308 loader, HD 60" bucket, Joystick, Bolt on Tooth Bar PD25 post hole digger, 9" and 18" augers, 14" extension RCR1560 Rotary cutter,slip clutch,Laminated rear wheel,Rubber guard BB2560...

Got another quote from a NH dealer on a TC30,7308 loader,joystick,R4's Quote was $ 15,934 delivered to my house. Can you tell me if that is a fair deal.

All this talk about the TC30 has me looking at them! Just for grins I called a local New Holland dealer who gave me some start pricing over the phone: TC30 (Hydro) - $13,300.00 FEL (New Holland) - $3,200.00 72" Finish Mower (didn't specify brand) - $1800.00 $17,300.00 That's probably a little...

This is the TC30 Hydro. I am real close to making a deal on one of these at my local dealer. If all the planets line up next monday then I'll have one on Tuesday.

Good Day from Ontario, Canada. My wife and I are in the process of pricing NH TCs for our 13 acre hobby farm. We have 2 horses, 3 acres of paddock, 3 acres of lawn and about 8 acres of wood in the back. We are looking for the tractor that can help us do the following tasks: -Harrow the...
