    Nice review Shawn and you have a really nice tractor. You mentioned seeing the plow or loader raised through your moon roof above the cab. You have one other advantage with the moon roof. Example: If you go under a large tree or even a low ceiling structure, you can peer through/see ahead of time whether to stop or proceed through the overhang. Now that's a pretty nice feature as well. Thanks for sharing your video.

    Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it. I bought a Workmaster 50 back about 9 months ago and have had no issues to speak of other than losing a couple pins. This is a nice size unit that I hope to upgrade to in a couple years. I want to keep the Workmaster and my older 4610 SU. New Holland supports their product very well and for the most part are well engineered. I did purchase the upgraded heavy duty brush guard. They have them available at your dealer. Getting a 3rd function valve and grapple this week.

    Nice Tractor. I was always a Ford/ New Holland guy but had to switch to Kubota because all the two local New Holland dealers closed. Weird that you had a problem with the tire too. On my old TB100, I had a front tire come off. I eventually had to get the whole hub and get a new rim for the tire because of the damage caused.

    Sorry you've had issues. What were they? I really enjoy this tractor. I've searched tractor forums and it doesn't matter what you buy...there are issues with every one of them. Hopefully, they aren't major. Some people claim green or orange or red or blue are better. I think you need to research the tractor, look at the issues that are shared, and make the best decision you can. A good dealer is very valuable...no matter what the brand. Thanks for watching my videos. I hope you can check out the others on my channel. I cover some other topics and equipment. Thanks!

Its a good little machine...But i wish i'd waited for a T4.75 or a T4.95 to come around but hey thats second hand market for you. Great review...one little thing, is the T4.95 a bit unusual to park? My little T4.65 rocks back and forth to get in park.

    Exactly, even the wheel thing is dealer issue because sometimes dealers need to make some prep and need to take the wheels out.

    He probably now learned to check all bolts regularly. At my work all tractors have stickers on the door to visual check wheel nuts every 8 working hours and torque check every 50 hours. With all vibrations during work it is very normal to check everything on a regular basis. We replace a lot of nuts with self locking nuts with the nylon inside.

I can find similar comments on any forum for any tractor. Some of it is circumstance. Some of it is dealer support. Some of it is just corporate issues. Some are lemons. Some models are more prone to issues due to design. I am sorry you're dealing with these problems. But, my experience with New Holland has been very favorable. TN75 was a great tractor for me and the T4.95 has been great as well. I have a Kubota zero turn commercial mower and have had people say they have junk decks. After 15 years I finally replaced the original battery and the deck is going strong. Beast of a mower. Change fluids, grease it and run it.
