New Holland C232 compact track loader | 90 day review and follow up

A quick review after owning the loader for 90 days. I'll share my opinion on the EZ EH panel and more.

[@petep8828]

i would like to see a new review, now that you’ve had 2 years.

[@firstgenfarmer9809]

I’ll get to that. Thanks for watching!

I got a 2017 232 and it does me a good job. I don't have air on it

[@evy8582]

Do you know where the fuse box is located on it? I got a 2016

[@rontopping7811]

Decent machine but cant stand front door and lift arms. No visibility to right side of bucket

[@harrisfarms5753]

Looking at one now when you bought did you compare it to the john deere at all I am back and forth i have narrowed it down to those 2

[@firstgenfarmer9809]

I was going to buy a deere 325G. I'm sure it's a great machine. I just really liked the look and feel of the NH. I happen to find mine in stock, drove it and bought it. I had a quote in hand for a 325G. It was a hard decision.

[@jacoblucas3331]

He meant the radiator isn't right in the way of the engine on other machines. Of course it has a door...

[@firstgenfarmer9809]

No he didn't mean that. He explicitly said there is no rear door.

[@andrerenaud5203]

But how open de rad?

16 hrs is about what it will run until it needs fixing

[@firstgenfarmer9809]

Why do you say that?

@@firstgenfarmer9809 I used to buy New Holland skidloaders. They are cheap made. Built to break. The repair shops around here are full of them

[@firstgenfarmer9809]

@@glenntimm4874 So far so good for me. Have 40 hours and not one issue.

[@glenntimm4874]

@@firstgenfarmer9809 that's nothing. I'd hope so. Wait until you get to 3000 hrs. If it's not under warranty yet. You will have paid for it twice. It's just plain built to cheap. They used to be a good machine. Now the only thing they have left is the boom

[@firstgenfarmer9809]

@@glenntimm4874 I find good and bad in most types of equipment. I've had a brand new John Deere tractor spend months at the dealership plagued with issues. I bought another Deere and not one issue. I was going to buy a deere track loader but didn't like it as much as the NH. I don't run my equipment hard and it's always serviced at the normal intervals. I keep mine in an enclosed shed as well. I have learned not to let one bad experience keep me from a manufacturer. I read countless reviews and ultimately settled on the NH. Maybe you'll be proven right. Considering I only put about 50 hours per year on it I'll stick with it and see how it goes.

talking to Winston tractor about a 3 series.

They were good to deal with. I'd buy from them again. Thanks for watching!
