NEW HOLLAND TM155

[glasshouse]

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

Tm cabs defo better
Esp if aircon broken

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.

I got rid of tm155 after two years as the brakes were rubbish
I got a low hour tm190 instead which was a beast

Range command. 4 spools, no cab or axle suspension and came on bike wheels. Nice simple machine.

Basically an 8560. Seen one in Somerset with the same story

The TM’s had front wheel braking by the brake pedal actuating the 4WD, which BG buggered the brakes.
The 70 series have a proper front wheel braking system by the front axle Diff that prolongs the life of the back axle brakes, especially if doing a lot of trailer work. Also allowing the gearbox a 19th gear to achieve 50kph.

Some TM190’s shared the 70 series back end, but dropped the engine revs in 19th gear to limit them to 40kph.

Mine was 18 speed
The 190 had four brake discs as opposed to two in 155
