thoughts about New Holland TVT

[nosenfarmer]

I am wondering if the New Holland TVT is a good tractor. I have heard that the 2004-2005 models are not any good because of a piston in the gearbox that was not hardened and would wear quick, this would stop the tractor from moving any direction. But the 2006 and upward mods they were hardened. I also wonder what models have the front brakes which are not wanted, because it is another part that can break down.
And Would the TVT be a smarter choice than a AutoCommand T6 for a farmer that does not want too much electrics like screens and that stuff?

Personally I’d avoid a tvt,autocommand still in use and will have better parts back up.

I doubt it has less sensors than an autocommand.

Zf will still be supplying parts though

Last I heard they were becoming obsolete,how long do Zf provide spares for a gearbox out of use for coming up 20 years?

Would they not share most components on current zf cvt transmissions?

Deutz where using the same zf smatic box until a couple years ago afik shouldn't think there's much to worry about parts for a while. Front axle might need attention at some point there are alot of moving parts but they work very well and wouldn't worry about front brakes they seem to be problem free , Claas used the same for years and I think Mcormick still do ,Overall a much better tractor than a t6 imo they were miles ahead of there time when made.

It is nearly 20 years old and the basic underpinnings are a steyr. having run a Steyr and now New Hollands I would have a lot more confidence in running the latter as a machine I needed to rely on, in terms of parts and people who know their way about common and uncommon problems.

Had a cvx1190 from 2004-2007. Had 3 gearboxes in 2000 hours. Most unreliable piece of crap I’ve ever had

If you don’t like electrics on tractors forget the TVT. It has a good assortment but for those of a nervous disposition they throw up error codes for fun - it could mean something bad is about to happen or more likely nothing at all is wrong it’s just feckin with you.

The spool valves can also give a bit of bother.

On the plus side, they have one of the nicest exhaust notes to listen to and the engine will hang on like a drowning man. They are relatively simple to use even my dad can drive one and he can’t even send a text message

As mentioned there is a bit of a cult following over on forum4farming

What do you do ring Zf direct?
Good luck with that.
