I found a TC25 NH Diesel 4wd for sale near me. My limit has been 2Khours on most any CUT except maybe Kubota. The TC25 has just over 4.6Khrs, which to me seems like a rebuild in the near future. I have zero desire to be doing a rebuild anytime soon.
It also requires pulling with another tractor to get it started, (This trick, I have never heard of) which suggests the glow plugs are shot, or a fuse is blown etc.. Once warm, it starts fine. It is a 2001, so that is quite a few hours for a 20yr old CUT. So the question: Is 4Khr midlife for a TC25, or should I keep only looking at sub 2Khr machines? It does not look abused, or shot in the photos, so perhaps has been well maintained by the previous owner. The current seller does not know much, and is just helping sell it for his neighbor, who is the first owner, supposedly.
Seller also says it has a standard transmission (Clutch and shifter), and NOT an HST. According to TractorData, ALL 1991-2003 TC25's have HST, so that is curious. Can anyone comment on that also? does anyone else have a TC25 without an HST?
