Range command. 4 spools, no cab or axle suspension and came on bike wheels. Nice simple machine.
I could ya no problem, but I personally think the TM’s are something that the T series will never be.

Had a puma 155 as well and found it gutless in comparison to the TMs, lasted well enough, left at 9000hrs, but traded it for current TM155. Used to hire a 6080 that had been tinkered with and it went like a rocket but believe the gearbox gave up after a few yr.

You’re right, the T/Puma series were first ones on the emissions ladder, and engines felt retarded, TM is honest power. I prefer the TM cab to the T/Puma less claustrophobic and has side windows, plus the 155 is a much smoother ride than the successors.

The TMs were alright in their day but when you get used to the newer models you wouldn't want to go back.

Erm……….a friend of mine had a TM155 and the digital dash went wrong and was replaced by the dealer, who forgot to adjust the hours to the several thousand we……… I mean he…….had actually done with it.Jeez, sounds like I’m sitting on a potential goldmine
How easy is it to put a new hour clock in these things?
Asking for a friend.
IIRC, it ended up in Ireland!
………..Just saying!

No suspension, too grippit. Slows everyone down, without it, probably saved a few sets of brakes.
arrived on smallest set of rowcrops I’ve ever seen, must’ve been destined for veg work

I've only driven one 7030, it's 10 times the tractor that any TM I've driven was. Maybe we were trying to do too much with the 155s.Got a 7030 and would rather spend a day in the 155, well if I ever get the aircon fixed

We had 2 of them. The first one had problems with the front axle suspension and the fan electric clutch. NH and the dealer came up with a deal too good to refuse to change it for another one. Which apart from the digital dash going wrong, was a much better tractor.
Changed it for a 7050 in 2010, which I’ve still got. Bloody good tractor! Non electronic spools and no Inteliview screen.
Next door neighbour bought a 2nd hand TM 190 which was a bugger for reliability.
