Who makes New Holland Now?

90cummins · Aug 14, 2011

A couple questions?
I have a 1720 SSS with FEL, agg & turf tires which has been a great tractor with about 2100 hrs.
It is the perfect size and power (now that it has a turbo) and I have no intentions of trading.
The only addition I would really like is a fully enclosed cab.
I have heard that Shibaura no longer makes NH CUT痴 and parts are or may be getting hard to find and expensive.
Is this true and why the change?
If that is true I expect to see a lack of support (parts) in the future.
Who makes the NH line now?

Comments??

Thanks Tim

The short answers are:

1. LS is the OEM of the new NH compacts.

2. No, I do not believe you have to worry about parts support anytime in the near future. Shibaura did not go out of business.

I am not worried about parts for these tractors, there are a lot of the old Ford compacts out there as well as the NH compacts. CNH will keep a good supply of parts going to support these machines just as they do the old Ford ag tractors.

Any parts that may be getting hard to find/scarce most likely are that way regardless to the LS/CNH agreement. Some of these tractors are quite old and certain parts will run out over time and not be made again.

Any part I have ever needed for my 1920 or my friends 1710 has been available still (not that we have needed many, just a sensor, small metal bracket and cylinder rebuild kit for the 1920 and a steering gear for the 1710)
