....that new tractor smell. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

We finally got the new TN75 a few days ago. A week or two late and a few minor problems (see this thread Link but very happy to have some new help on the farm none the less.

We couldn't get a cab because we need the clearance for getting in some low bars, but opted for the 16x16 electronic shuttle transmission, 40km/h (25 mph) road gear, dual remotes and one touch 3pt hitch control. Decided against self-leveling on the ALO loader and isntead got a soft ride system for it.

It's got about 13 hours on it, but we've only used it for a few. I'm fairly impressed so far, except for the small problem with the seat switch (we is dissapointed after only a few days of ownership).

Sorry to hear about the few minor problems with it, but they will be fixed and you will be tractorin all over in no time! The new TN looks great! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Nice Tractor and congratulations. Just curious about the loader you have is there a story behind that ? And by the way the little problems you are having is a good test to see how your dealer does for you.

About the loader:

I wasn't involved in the buying process too much, but I overlooked the quote and didn't see any real problem with them selling us a ALO loader instead of a original equipment unit.

Of course it doesn't have the curved arms of the NH loader, but I've heard very good things about the ALO Quicke loaders. I really see no need for self-leveling since it's very easy to control the level manually while raising the loader. The soft-ride was something we wanted because we do a lot of scraping and loading of manure on rough concrete. Also it will cushion some of the stress driving across rough fields while moving/loading round bales.

We've got softride on our old loader, its from the air trapped in the cylinders that won't come out!

The Quicke/ALO loaders are the standard for ag tractors in the maritimes, rarely see a factory NH loader on an ag machine here. All the brands use the Quicke's.
