They and their manufacturer Versitile counter part were decent loader tractors to use in bunk silos, but they sucked for general field work.
I loved to go up against them on demo's with a Case-IH 5140 Maxxum MFD out in the field hooked to a forage harvester chopping corn, or hooked to a moldboard plow. They just did not perform well on drawbar and PTO work.

That picture of the one pulling the moldboard plow always intrigued me . I asked the local new Holland dealer if they really could pull a plow and he said not here our soil is way to heavy . The dairy I worked At had a tv140 and it could pull a 14 Foot Dunham lehr culti mulcher and that was from the engine end we never took the loader off except to cut hay . It could have done a lot more I think pulling from the cab end with a set of duals on the cab end . I loved that tractor it just sold for 15,000$ with a loader with two buckets and a bale fork and a swather header .
 
I bet if you would have weighted it and dueled it up they would have pulled just as good as any other tractor their size. What was the hp. on them?
 
how do you take the loader off a tv140? Do you need a stand or will it self support? Not thinking about taking mine off but could never find anything in my 5 manuals how exactly it comes off. I see how to take it off but don't see how it will stand.
 
They are hydroststic drive they are not for heavy drawbar work, we had guys try it here and take out the hydros,, like Loren said, loader work haying ect they are fine,, but are not a farm tractor, I have been around them since they first came out in the 70's, I seen a number of them with a headers on the front and pulling a hydroswing on the rear , 28' at a pass you can really lay down acres in a hurry, a friend and neighbor had four of them at one time,, he had two with duals all the way around on one as it was at a ranch that had a lot of low ground areas and needed the flotation, I also sold them in the late 70's and early 80's, the early ones had axle problems but they soon upgraded that a couple times until the issue went away, lot of things they excel at, one company here that cleaned parking lots in the winter had a loader on one end and a snow blower on the other, where you can turn the seat around so you can face ether direction shined at jobs like that
 
Undo the big bolts under the cab then roll your bucket like your were going to dump it then start backing away working the bucket and boom then you?ll just keep backing and then just keep raising the boom as you go and it?ll sit right on the ground
 
I was going off tractor data says 105 engine
horsepower. There?s no test details on the site . The
tv140 obtained 11000 pounds max drawbar pull

If you located Ford 9030 on Tractordata you're a better researcher than I am.

Jim, you gotta cheat a little and add "New Holland" to "Ford", then it's easy!

Thanks for the heads-up. I didn't realize there were tractors listed with the dual names of Ford-New Holland. One learns something every day.
