NEW HOLLAND TM155

[Drillman]

But a T6080

TMs are good tractors but the Replacements are better

 

[David.]

I was going to say surely you ought to get a lowish houred 6080 under £40k?

 

[melted welly]

Tm140? Dual power?

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.

Agreed
I had mxm155 which was great
I stupidly gave it away for about £14k

 

[Boohoo]

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

 

[Two Tone]

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.

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.
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

Got a 7030 and would rather spend a day in the 155, well if I ever get the aircon fixed

 

[melted welly]

Cheap?

Think it was (in relative terms), dad did the deal at highland show. Should really look back and see.

it’s an appreciating asset now

 

[Two Tone]

Don’t know.
Not sure it cost us…….I mean him that new after discount when we……I mean he bought it in 2006!

I bouggt a tm155 in 2006, it was £40,000

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.

 

[Tonyh7740]

Pity they all have cabs like glasshouses, you can’t beat opening a side window if you want to do so!

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.
