New Holland Geotech TN series – compact three-cylinders from the merger years: TN 55 D/S (A) and TN-65 D/S (A), 2,930 cm³, 36.8 to 44.2 kW, unladen weight 3,010 to 3,060 kg, torque 185 to 206 Nm
The TN range, like the 84 series, belongs to the Geotech transition-year models following the 1991 merger of Ford New Holland with the Italian maker Fiatagri, but forms the compact, lower end of the model range in this period rather than the large four-wheel-drive class. TN 55 and TN-65 carry the approximate power class as their number, and both models rely on the same three-cylinder diesel engine.

The register lists 2 versions with 36.8 to 44.2 kW from three-cylinder engines of 2,930 cm³, unladen weights of 3,010 to 3,060 kg, a length of 3,980 mm, widths of 1,794 to 2,158 mm and heights of 2,310 to 2,400 mm; torque ranges from 185 to 206 Nm at a rated speed of 2,300 rpm.
As a compact all-round tractor the TN range targeted smaller farms, orchard and special crops, and municipal users who needed a manoeuvrable three-cylinder tractor for fieldwork, front-loader duty and transport in confined space.
When buying used, check operating hours and the condition of clutch and gearbox, the tightness of hydraulics and lift, the condition of the front-loader mount where fitted, and rust on the cab and bonnet; parts run through New Holland's wide dealer network, which continues to support the Geotech models too.
New Holland is now part of the CNH Industrial group, which also includes Case IH; its wide distribution network still underpins parts supply even for the short-lived Geotech transition generation.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
