Hello Craig,
We looked real hard at New Holland vs. John Deere just this past fall.seeking a new narrow orchard tractor that we could also use for blue berries and brambles in addition to our high density apples. I posed the same question as you did to this group then. For many multiple reasons we landed on New Holland and purchased a new New Holland T4.75V four wheel drive this past fall. It has an overall width of 43", a great turn radius, plenty of horse power, and despite its size a comfortable cab. We have used it hard since its arrival in November and it has performed very well thus far.no regrets with this purchase at all. We were lucky to find a Tier III that our local dealer brought in from California. The new Tier IV is out now and our model has been replaced by a T4.80V.and is $10,000 more! There may still be a couple of Tier III's out there. We had located three of our tractor in California at the time of purchase. When we looked Deere had just come out with its very newest narrow tractors and they had one at the Great Lakes Expo that I reviewed in depth with their factor rep.it was nice tractor and we have both a JD 5320N and a JD 5420N and we like them both.but the new New Holland definitely our performs them in terms of maneuverability, size, and operator comfort. I hope that this helps Craig.give me a call if you want. You know where to find me! Best, Kurt Kurt W. Alstede General Manager, Alstede Farms, LLC P.O.

I have an older New Holland TN85F that I have been happy with. How do the new Kubota and New Holland compare with each other and the older TN85F? Thanks Craig Tanner Tanners Orchard, Ltd.
