[valtraman]

They're NH branded now, so can be got through your NH dealer. I used the little one for a few hours, I really liked it. Didn't get a proper test of it though.

Didn’t someone in here have an absolute nightmare with the brand a few years ago? I could be totally wrong tho.

Yes I think that was the chap. Can’t find the thread tho. I’m looking for a new telehandler and have discounted Dover on the back of what I half-recall from that thread. Should really reread it if I can find it.

I’ve been offered a new one at very reasonable price but kinda wondering is it to cheap.? Can’t imagine it will be worth a whole lot in a few years compared to say merlo or manitou

Yes we unfortunately had a very bad experience but I never made a thread though I just advised people to look at other brands.

That’s why I can’t find the thread then! Was a vague memory. Thanks for letting us know. Hope your new machine turned out well for you.

All manufactures Turn Out A Bad One Most Months - leading brands included - New Holland would not to want to damage their reputation if they were that bad - as has been said before on this subject - leading brands Manitou & JCB will hold there value best, because of their global acceptance around the world in used equipment markets where most used machines end up at some time, the also ran brands need to be much much cheaper in the beginning if depreciation is going to be high and from my observations a Deici or other makes can be almost as expensive as leading brands, so why take the risk, unless you intend keeping it 20 yrs, in which case depreciation will be of no concern. Most manufactures in my experience are slow to get involved with the supplying dealer until it is too late, to sort out a troublesome machine and damage to reputation is then done as highlighted by the comments above regarding a former dissatified Dieci customer, but there are similar stories of both JCB & Manitou machines.

Yes as soon as machine got swapped for new identical machine after 18months of terror we traded it in for a JCB and that’s been a good machine so far 3years in.

Only the 5.25 and 6.28 in the New Holland line up are Diecis- the rest are New Holland’s own.

So does anyone have a New Holland 5.25 or 6.28 - how is it going?

Not in my area- I’ve just replaced a Dieci equivalent (30.7) with a Weidemann T6027, apart from that we’re mostly 7m machines round here.

Had a quick go on this last week.
Seemed plasticky but reasonable.
Huge door with electric window,
Rubbish radio, but engine seemed ok
