Ford/New Holland

[TAFKAT]

I can arrange a drive for you. be like absolution.

Actually upon mature reflection I think I probably did. They all kind of blur together at this stage.

NH TL70, don't ask me what engine is in it but it sounds like a 4 cylinder Fiat. What hp could be reasonably squeezed out of it?

90hp if you turboed it.

 

[TAFKAT]

90hp if you turboed it.

I was thinking more along the lines of a small spanner

No turf was harmed during these idle musings.

If you got 80 off the PTO it'd be about the limit without a turbo

That would nearly do me

Smaller engine than an 80/90. 3.6l in a TL70. 3.9l in an 80/90. Think the TL 70 pto hp is only in the mid 50s and 65 at the engine. 80 hp at either place might be a big ask...

The internet would suggest that it's smaller than the 80/90

Same engine as a 70/90 but making 5hp less in the TL

I can't see it making much more than 75hp, it's a small non turbo engine,not especially tunable I'd have thought

 

[Arthur]

Nearly never bulled a cow or put bonhams in a sow...

Back to the drawing board so

You could invest in a powestar engine of whatever horsepower you need. Iirc the bell housing of all ford/ new holland tractors are all the same so fitting a different sized engine should'nt be a problem.

I usually buy engines with a tractor already attached
Was only a notion I took this evening, as I said an idle musing.

What's the tractor for, a tug to take the space ship to the launch pad

I do that too with engines. A friend of mine has a tm 150 that he done a few modifications to and brought up the horsepower up to around 220 hp. He done it to drive triple mowers and while it did do it the tractor was under pressure weight wise as well as power wise. He has since bought a bigger,heavier tractor and its proving more economical to run.

the TM are I reckon one of new Holland’s best - a real work horse and a real slugger. On the look out for one myself again but they have gone dear particularly in the last couple of years. I see some TMs and they would fetch more than what they were bought for 10 - 12 years ago. Nearly bought a TM 150 a couple of years ago and it was a good one, but got a T6000 series at the time.

I have a red TM, a MXM 130 with just over 6000hrs and most of them on a sprayer and still on original back tyres.
Bought her with 290hrs16yrs ago for just over 24k sterling, id say if she had of been a blue one she would still make that ££ today.

I wasn't planning on putting triples on her anyway

 

[johndeere6920s]

Tm here with very close to 15k hours on it

 

[johndeere6920s]

With a very good maintenance plan.
Owner drivers and keeping on top of the small things.
Is there any reason not to expect 30k hours out of a yoke?

How long have you got her now?

Have you ever seen a tractor with 30k hours on it that didn't need major surgery?

I have seen 20k plus on 2 10 series Deere's with pathological service plans from new

I know of a contractors Same Leopard that done over 30000 hours with no major surgery before she was traded in.Rust eventually got the better of her.

where does a TM take the ground speed from? My one has started to mess around, displaying the speed sometimes and not others.

radar usually. either that or the speed sensor just in front of the right hand half axle. is the speed jumping up and down? are the other meter doing the same like the pto speed and engine rpm?
