Crawler Tractors | New Holland TK4.100M 

Very happy to see you got a TK4! These tractors have a dry clutch transmission and that steering stick doubles as a hand clutch. The mechanical drive clutch is hydraulically actuated. The transmission is similar to an old school dozer with steering clutches on each side. The first part of your steering stick side to side movement releases the steering clutch and the second part applies the brake on that side which is why the track stops at that point. This transmission is not a hydro, it’s fully mechanical which is why you feel that instant power versus a gradual start that a hydro would have. They’re offered with steel tracks and ROPS as well. Great tractors they’re one of my favorite from the blue brand!

Hi Neil, Many thanks for taking the time to show off this very unique tractor! Awesome machine!

Mr.Neal you are a Great informer of equipment. You really elaborate & accurately describe a lot of aspects of the equipment in practical applications. ---Another great vidio, thank you & keep them comming.

Tracked machines like this are great for working in wet areas. The extra weight is more than compensated for in the much lower psi under the tracks versus regular tires. This is a cool machine for its size. Most tracked machines I’m familiar with are huge, like in the 500 ish HP realm.

A Dozer met a tractor and their parents were not impressed. So they ran off, slowly, made love quickly, and came home with with this beautiful child. Very interesting. Thanks Neil. 🇨🇦

Awesome Tractor! Very unique. I would love to see this thing work.

Be kind of interesting to see what kind of other implements that can be used other than its intended uses. Your videos are the best in the world of tractors, keep up the good work.

Wow, I don't think I've seen a tracked machine this size that wasn't a loader or a vintage crawler. It's kinda cute.

I would love to see this with a 3point mount Bushhogg behind it so I can see how much clearance there is between the ground and the cutter when raised up this would be a perfect fit for what I do

That is a cool tractor! Heavy duty machine!

What's old is new again. Cool little tractor.

Super cool seeing these smaller tractors with tracks! I'm used to seeing only AGCO and Case with tracks

I feel like New Holland does not make junk. Anything they build is gonna be a beast

Had a chance to use a few different fiat Agri crawler tractors as well as Same's great machines on the steep slopes, good to see a Cab finally on one, was my only complaint about them, it get hot here in Australia in summer

Would be a perfect machine for mowing pipeline right of ways!

Love it, worthy successor to Fiat's that come from that factory before this, the steering lever now is flash, its been called steering O Matic for ever, modulates the clutches then brakes

That would be awesome for my batwing brush hog. I live in Mississippi and none of it is flat.

Great video

It might even be suitable for forestry work!

Interesting machine, great explanation/description. ‘Unique’ means, literally, ‘one of a kind’. So “pretty unique” and “really unique” become meaningless.

Doug DeMuro'd that introduction

I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of these out towing planters and such for the local veggie farmers.

Nice video those tractors look interesting. Have seen a number of older track tractors at antique machinery shows. Do they have a slop rating?

Great vid.....very kool tractor....I am sure I need one...lol😉😄😎

Pretty bold on the part of NH. I know it's low and stable, but how is the ground pressure compared to wheeled machines? Kind of like the tire v. track skidsteer debate. NOt that I'm in the market, just curious.

Wow! Must have a lot of TRACtion

Oh man, you totally started to channel Doug Demuro on the introduction of the machine. I was sooo hoping you were going to continue with his line about quirks and features!

Does it come with a front end loader like the old crawler tractors did? Nice machine!

Wonder if you can put a small scraper pan on it.

Cool tractor, always wanted to see review, how one of these operates compared to standard tractor

Somehow I only see this as the perfect off-road toy that can also pull stuff

This is a cool machine. What about using this for forestry work? Low impact on the forest floor. Does it take a winch skidding attachment?

Interesting machine. It looked like you were having too much fun to be at work.

Neil your alright, I don’t care what Nate says about ya.

I love to have that one. I have no use for it but I love to get it. Lol Just talked my wife into letting me get a new truck I doubt she allow me to get another tractor. 🤩

Looks like a dozer. Would be interesting to have some pavement or turf type tracks. Maybe even non marking for special applications.

That is totally cool

Do you have any idea how many crawlers need to be replaced on flat muck soil?

Most snowmobile club trail groomers here in Ontario are modern medium sized tracked tractors, surprised Penn isn’t the same.

Air is cleaner up high. That's why the AC and cabin air filters are up high. Less dust.

Very nice.

So it's a clutch/brake turn, vs a hydraulic planetary turn?

So does it come with a belly mower??

Can you get front end loaders for these track tractors

I've always thought of this tractor as if I when the lottery type of things, lol.

Can you still have a loader? This would make a pretty neat compact crawler loader. I bet the capacity would be great with that extra 4000lbs of under carriage

Thanks for sharing, Neil. That’s a cool machine. It would either “sink or swim” in my swamp. :) #purplecollarlife

Can you get one with a front 3 point hitch and PTO?

Do they have other sizes and open stations.

Boy Neil I want to buy one of those real bad its so cool but I live in the city and don't know what I would do with it. Still great video

That thing is sweet!!! Does it come with a drive over deck? LOL Great video as always

With the amount of suitcase weights on the front, it must’ve been intended to lift something pretty heavy in the rear. Or would it just be for stability?

What hitch category are these machines?

Can you put a front loader on it ?

Nice 👍

Eccellente 😱

Hey Neil, can I get a finish mower for that TK4? 😁👍

If it was power shift it could shift gears while moving. They just don’t offer that transmission type with every tractor.

When are you gonna cover the big guy behind you in the beginning of the video. That’s what I wanna see inside of.

I feel like this specific steering step up on a wet hill side may cause problems. 2 sticks may offer alot more control.

This is very neat but I question the steering system. Why not give it joysticks beside the seat like a dozer has. It would be alot more confortable.

What a box blade machine

Interesting. It looks like a dozer

Front and rear attachments??

Looks like with that short cab that a person would really have to watch getting in or out not to hit their head.

Great to see the blue tractors for a change.

its so cute, I heard they had a limited production of Fiat red versions, I would buy one in a heartbeat if they brought the Fiat Red Power variant to North America

Wait, you already sold this one?

What price have that equipment?

I can already see changes that need to be made. First is that joystick and floor mounted gear shifters. I would prefer to see that joystick on the left hand console like a compact track loader. The gearshifts integrated into the steering joystick.

If equipped with a dozer blade, how would it compare to a smaller dozer?

7:40 Like a fighter plane.

Can you do a video on the kubota M8?

My god i want one of these for the house in maine

Can I get a front loader or dozer blade? 😎

Been waiting for this review. Neil didn't mention they come with rubber or steel tracks. Also with or without a cab. For normal farm use these tractors are crazy expensive at about $100,000.

"TK421 Why aren't you at your post?"

What's the top speed

Damn I could use that tractor on my mountain property

Can the track tractor be configuration with a 3 point hitch , hydraulic connections , pto and a loader with auxiliary hydraulic connections on the front of track tractor

❤❤❤

Ok whats the price tag on one? I could see one of these used a snowmobile trail groomer. Right now clubs are sticking track kits on 4 wheel drive tractors.

Give me one with a loader or a 6 way and we'll talk. I wonder how the little unit would skid logs ?

I bet that tractor would pull trees out of the woods pretty well

Is it possible to spec one of these with a loader?

Neil what location is that tk4.100 at?

A crawler tractor never seen one of those well I’ve seen challengers but not new holland

Why can't it be used like a skid steer?

Why are these generally not better than traditional tractors? The traction would enable it to act as a bulldozer plus all the other implements. With a light ppsf it seems to be better overall. It doesn’t have a front loader but I suspect you can get one.

How much price in indian money....

I would guess the speed difference is entirely the difference in diameter of the back tire vs the track wheel. Having left the transmission gearing the same. Although one of them, front or back, must have changed to keep all the wheels going the same speed.

How much does it actually weigh

Can you get this with a front hitch and pto

🤣😛🤣 thumbnail makes him look like he needs to see a specialist

Fiat/Hesston has been making these for a long time.

What’s the MSRP on this as it sits on your lot?

Why not put a steering wheel like the yanmar

I'd still like to see a loader for this we looked at this unit probably a year ago and the loader was not an option and that's really the only thing that's missing with the quad hydraulics in the back

I want one

New Holland ti4.100m they can make that into a bulldozer for the new Holland construction equipment
