TC 45, 48, & 55 Prices

TnFarm · Jul 30, 2005

I was quoted these prices:

$19580 TC45Da R4's
$18560 TC48Da R4's
$20500 TC55Da R4's Ehss trans

$4000 for Bush Hog loader
$4500 for New Holland loader both to fit the TC45

Are these prices inline with what some of you have paid. These tractors have no options other than R4's and the ehss trans on the TC55.

Paid 19370 for the 55 SSS
My NH Loader was $5250
buried in the cost of those two prices was a canopy, quick attach loader, and a quick attach set of industrial forks in addition to the bucket. I dont remember the exact breakdown before we melded those into the above prices.purchased 9/17/04

There are several things to note on the 55 (and I presume the 48, since the are virtually the same). Some people have steering problems with this machine (I never have). Also I found the rearend to be to tight for my larger implements and I flipped the tires. That made the base 82" wide. Makes a big difference ghoing from 72" to 82". Effects trailering and covering your tracks, but sure made the 55 much easier to monkey around with.

Good Luck

Sounds like you got a better deal than the prices they quoted me. I drove the TC45D around the lot and man that thing was rough riding. Definitely would need an air pressure adjustment. Is the 55 the same way? They had one there but I didn't drive it.

You were quoted about the same price i gave for my TC48. $23000 includeing FEL The ride on mine is no different than most tractors i`ve been on on the past. They are all rough rideing especialy if moveing fast.

What part of TN are you in ? My guys at Memphis New Holland have been spectacular to deal with.

As far as ride I have no complaints. I mean it's a tractor. I hit a bump in the road the thing clangs and bangs for a day or two, but on smooth terrain it rides right along.

The 55 has been a good machine for me. It's a little large to be a compact for a 5 acre kind of place, but it has been perfect for a hrose farm. I needed a large machine for moving things and doing little landscape projects (setting trees). Yet I needed something manuverable for dragging arenas. It has fit the bill.

I just worry it might be a tad large for the 1.3 acre house I just bought. Oh well no one has ever accused me of being someone who doesnt believe in overkill.
