Last Updated: July 2024

Overview

The New Holland TN65 is a versatile and robust utility tractor designed to meet various agricultural needs. Manufactured by New Holland from 1998 to 2003, it was available with several transmission options, including mechanical shuttle and power shuttle with either 8 or 16 forward and reverse gears, providing flexibility for different types of work. The dual power shift version, known as the Dual Command, offered even more gear options. Equipped with a powerful three-cylinder, 179 cubic-inch, 57 horsepower Iveco diesel engine, and a Category II three-point hitch, the TN65 could handle a diverse array of implements and tasks. Operator comfort was also considered, with the option of a folding ROPS or a heated cab for protection from the elements. With its combination of power, durability, and operator comfort, the New Holland TN65 has proved to be a reliable workhorse on farms worldwide.
