Franco,
I believe that the New Holland website has a place where you can ask to receive literature, or just go to your nearest dealer. There's a big jump in size between the TC21 and the TC25. In the NH line, the TC21 weighs around 1500 lbs. and the TC25 is about 2500 lbs. If you let us know what you plan to use it for, we can give you an idea what tractor "might" fit your needs. I own the TC18 which is similar to the TC21 but with less features, I mainly mow and the weight is great. When I move loose sand, I run into more difficulty but haven't filled my tires yet!
Good Luck, JimBinMI

Franco, While you can get the literature mailed to you from the NH web site. Assuming that you are considering buying, I too would recomend visiting your nearest dealers. Not only can you get prices and information, but you can also get a feel for the dealership, and the people working there.

I went to the New Holland web page and I see no way to get literature or info mailed to me. I think the TC21D is the one I would need ito know about if it is comparable to the B2710. I am looking for a compact for mostly landscaping and loader work like leveling all the lumpy rough areas of my yard to put a new lawn, widen the driveway, straiten out a rock wall, and I will be moving alot of soil around with the loader. In the winter I will use the tractor for snow removal on my driveway (only 200' and a small parking area) in the future I would like to add a backhoe. I am trying to get all the info I can to compare theB2410, B2710 and TC21D. I'm trying to learn about attachments I would use, so far a box scraper and maybe a plow if the loader is a pain to clear my driveway. I will possably want to use the tractor later down the road for mowing but I only mow about 1 1/2 acre and my riding mower does just fine. I was wondering if these machines could say... lower the loader and cut a path about 2" or 3" deep on my lawn driving forward and start making a new driveway or widen my driveway? Are these machines too small for what seems to me an easy job? I have a rock sitting on my lawn that is about 500lbs not quite round-not quite flat but just heavy enough for me and a friend to not be able to roll without breaking our backs I would like a machine that could push it. I realy don't know how to ask the question well but basically which machine will move a mountain the TC21D or B2710 and I need a reliable tractor. Here is a beautifull TC21D I seen on ebay awhile back, I didn't bid because it is too far away I'm in CT http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=407228266 I think the tractor looks better than orange but does it work as well? I will not go any larger than a TC21D or B2710 (maybe B2910) I will not go smaller than B2410

Franco,
I own a 2910 and know a little about the NH line since I shopped them not long ago. I wouldn't say that the TC21 is the comparable model to the 2710. I'd say the TC21 is more comparable to the B7500. In my mind, the TC25 is the closest to the 2410, the TC29 is the closest to the 2710, and the TC33 is closest to the 2910. In each case, close does not mean identical. You have to compare the features and prices and decide which is best for you. Probably any of these tractors can do the things you list, some faster than others.
If you can afford it, buy a little larger than you think you need. Leave money for good implements, though. The tractor doesn't do anything without implements. Some people spend all they can afford on the tractor and then try to save a few hundred dollars by buying low-end implements. I think that is a mistake. Budget for and buy quality implements. They do the jobs.

Franco, a visit to your local NH and Kubota dealers might help in your decision. You really need to get on the tractors, drive them, use the front loader a little, and generally see how you like each particular model. You may get on a 2910 and just fall in love, or operate a TC33 and find that it's what you've been dreaming of. Dealer personnel can provide you with detailed specs on each machine, front loader, and any implements you might be considering. Also, they're a good source for information in general. Just ask a lot of questions. I like to play the dumb consumer (not hard for me) when I'm gathering information for a large purchase. Talk with the service managers, too, about the tractors. They see things in a different light than sales folks do.
If a particular dealer doesn't seem right for you, find another one. If you're going to invest $20,000 of your hard earned money, you need to be comfortable with the dealer as well as the tractor. When I bought my Kubota (even though I ended up buying a privately owned used) I was looking a a B7300 and asked the dealer for references (customers) who had purchased from him in the past year. He was straight up and gave me about a dozen customers who had purchased B7300, B1700, and B2400 tractors from him. I called a couple and got the good refrerrals I expected, although one guy said he thought the service dept. was a bit slow with a warranty repair he'd had done.
All that to say, consider visiting local dealers, find a tractor that fits you and your needs, and buy from a dealer you're comfortable with.

Franco, I can only comment on the 21series,but it already sounds like you might be disappointed with this size,as far as a backhoe I would have to recommend a larger frame tractor or a used one for just that purpose,just thinking dollars here,hoe attachment for the 21 was not justifiable considering its size and $.The 21's size has its advantages and drawbacks. Advantages:Cut my mowing time in half,great manuverability,uses a 4ft.tiller,4ft.boxblade,6ft.rear blade without a problem (I have turfs and use rear chains in needed situations)Loader works great considering tractor size.Disadvantages:Makes you want a larger tractor after you realize all the things you could do or find to do.But all in all my tractor suits my needs.Remember its a compact! I suggest to go and get some seat time at the dealer and try some different ones out on their lot(mine let me try out different implements in use)Tom
