New Holland T4.95 Updated Review - 184 hrs - Watch before you buy! 

What does this have to do with my comment?

Houndsman One exactly. thanks for watching.

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

dan long Dan...No issues here in North Carolina...2 years of trouble free service...No issues with the Catalytic converter or electrical... Hope you get your problems worked out...If my Workmaster had a cab I would have never traded...

Very sorry for that....

The park brake is something I would change. Yes....one of the items that could be improved.

I did the same thing. Lesson learned

I agree. It's possible it was missed as my dealer retrieved it from another dealer.

Sorry you've had issues. What were they? I really enjoy this tractor. I've searched tractor forums and it doesn't matter what you buy...there are issues with every one of them. Hopefully, they aren't major. Some people claim green or orange or red or blue are better. I think you need to research the tractor, look at the issues that are shared, and make the best decision you can. A good dealer is very valuable...no matter what the brand. Thanks for watching my videos. I hope you can check out the others on my channel. I cover some other topics and equipment. Thanks!

Thanks. Will make more vids as I can! Checkout some of my others on my channel when you get a chance as well.

ToothSIayer thanks for watching. what size kubota did you get?

M9960

Ahhh....bummer. I wish I could say there was a perfect brand...but if you search the forums they ALL have their issues. I think a solid dealer is important...and having extra $ in case something goes wrong. Thanks for watching!

@@ModernCountryLiving Agreed.

Thanks. Will do some more as I get more hours on it. Hope you saw my other videos. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Jordan. Are you talking about the black bars on the front?

@@ModernCountryLiving yea the black bars on the front i would make them bigger and put a mess screen on the front

@@jordanbeardy8798 That makes sense. I had a stick hit the hood when I was in some thick stuff. Will have to look at that. I also bent one trying to pull a tree stump out of a hole. Was able to get it back into shape. LOL. Thanks for watching.

@@ModernCountryLiving yup 👍

IowaKLR650 I pull up to the front of my vehicles to backdrag. I tend to use the clutch and brake in those situations. It depends on what gear and rpm and speed you're going. You will get a feel for it...you let off gas...slow down...pull shuttle to neutral and stop tractor. Then you pull shuttle to reverse.

It was frustrating....but since then it's been great. Barring the mice issue.

sorry you had this experience. I am near 500 hours and do a lot of loader work. Tires are great and machine has been great. I do have wheel weights and I'd say that if you lift at max capacity you do want them or some weight on the rear of the tractor.

I have the 12 speed (3 ranges...4 gears) with hydraulic shuttle to reverse. Thanks for watching!

It was on the front of the engine in the area of the fan. The service technician removed it.

@@ModernCountryLiving thank you!!!

Really? I would love to know how. What parts do I need?

hmmm.... The windshield washer motor worked and then stopped. So, that wasn't something they'd see. I am not sure, other than the wheel bolt torque, what they would have found. As I said, fortunately, that turned out ok. The dealer has supported me with the nuisances I've had. The diff lock....maybe they could have detected that if they drove it enough. They did not. I had them go find this tractor and the day it was delivered, I wanted it. Thanks for watching. Hope to keep updating as time goes on.

Its just like buying a new house, do a once over check everything, i mean everything...you get a snag list and the house builder will come back to sort it. Same with a new car or tractor. Check everything.i did on my 2nd hand NH and i budgeted an extra £500 for odds and ends "New filters, oil, LED lights". I tell you i spent a very enjoyable sunday cleaning her and making her mine.

I can understand why that's done. But, for towing purposes, I didn't want to exceed my tow vehicle limits...and I am right at the limit with tractor, loader, and trailer.

The extra traction it worth it .... those limits are just for liability reasons for the tractor manufacturers... they will handle far more than they're rated

Sorry...I wasn't clear. When I tow the tractor on a gooseneck trailer...it would exceed my tow limits.

Oh... I see your point. I'm just used to having trailers capable of handling that kind of weight.

trailer handles it. but...get over 16000 Gross and you need a lot of truck...

Just being honest. Since that day...no other issues.

He probably now learned to check all bolts regularly. At my work all tractors have stickers on the door to visual check wheel nuts every 8 working hours and torque check every 50 hours. With all vibrations during work it is very normal to check everything on a regular basis. We replace a lot of nuts with self locking nuts with the nylon inside.

Exactly, even the wheel thing is dealer issue because sometimes dealers need to make some prep and need to take the wheels out. But I would say if you know your machine well it hardly gives you much problem. Farmers usually check their tractors before and after work which eliminates a lots of issues that he is talking about.

Marc Gallant yes. need to be careful with cab. Thanks for watching.

Did you ever used it for pulling out tree stumps

I have not. The tractor weights over 10,000 #. It can tug pretty well. I've skidded logs (several at a time) with no issue. Tires provide lots of traction.

That's unfortunate. Hopefully he gets those issues resolved. Over 500 hrs on my T4.95 and very happy owner.

Shawn Gross I’m happy for you that you have had good luck with your machine . I was happy for my Dad when he purchased his first new cab tractor. He’s older and needs the cab very much . But this tractor has been in the shop more times then I can count. It is a total lemon!!! I’m very disappointed with it . I’ve used it a lot myself, the quality just doesn’t seem good .

@@ozzy7763 That sucks. I had a TN75 New Holland that I put several hundred hours on and it was a great tractor. Never in the shop. Dad had a TB110 and it was a great tractor too. No issues over a decade plus of ownership. Unfortunately, lemons do occur. I see it across the Duramax, Powerstroke, Cummins forums and as well across the John Deere, Kubota, Mahindra, etc forums. Poor quality sucks and can turn a customer off....

It's an interesting question. I've read about companies that may do just that.

Sorry you are having that issue. Neighbor has a T4.75 with a few thousand hard hours. Still chugging along. I am sorry you are having that experience. I can find similar comments on any forum for any tractor. Some of it is circumstance. Some of it is dealer support. Some of it is just corporate issues. Some are lemons. Some models are more prone to issues due to design. I am sorry you're dealing with these problems. But, my experience with New Holland has been very favorable. TN75 was a great tractor for me and the T4.95 has been great as well. I have a Kubota zero turn commercial mower and have had people say they have junk decks. After 15 years I finally replaced the original battery and the deck is going strong. Beast of a mower. Change fluids, grease it and run it.

@@ModernCountryLiving thanks for taking the time to reply. I agree with you whole heartedly. We bought the tractor to pull a 10 ft great plains no till drill. Were retiring a 570 cockshutt to the barn. But the new holland has yet to do its job. I thought about trading it in on a different tractor. But they wont take trade in unless its fixed. The holdup on repair is getting software for the engine. Im stuck and frustrated. Its a lot of money.

Given the shipping distances nowadays and fact these things see ships, over the road trucks, etc....always good to make sure things are tight!

Check out Tractor Mike he deals with all that stuff!

At 360 or so now...LOL!!!! Should last me 500 years!!!

@@ModernCountryLiving No, if you use it so less you usually try to care about it less and that deteriorates things.

@@hp2084 I'd agree...but I wax this tractor a couple times per year and perform maintenance well before the manual requires. I've changes the oil a few times already. Same for fuel filters. And I grease it regularly.

@@ModernCountryLiving Yes but these machines are meant to be used regularly. Those fluids sitting in engine, radiator, transmission, hydraulic, steering gets deteriorated faster if you dont keep heating them up by using regularly.

@@hp2084 It's used every week.

LOL. When I want to do something, I want to do it.... I understand what you're saying....this past Aug-Oct I put like 50 hours on it, which helped my average... :)

@@ModernCountryLiving na good on ya mate it will last longer. 👍

Everybody has their preferences and their complaints. I see it for all brands. CNH should probably just pack up and close given all the crap they build...

Shawn Gross yea your right they probably should...

The wheel was plastic?

LOL! They make a nice tractor too. I looked at them all....things I liked about each of them. My Dad had a Kubota that was a stud for 30 years. It had some issues...but was a good tractor. It got me hooked on tractors! I am happy with my T4. I do have a Kubota Zero turn which I enjoy a lot! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1h-pCHDHuiM.html
