Common questions
New Holland TG230 weight FAQ
How much does a New Holland TG230 weigh?
The New Holland TG230 weighs 20,340 lb (9,226 kg) using the published Operating figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 19,582 to 25,305 lb (8,882 to 11,478 kg).
What is the operating weight of the New Holland TG230 compared with shipping weight?
Published operating weight is 20,340 lb (9,226 kg), versus 19,582–20,382 lb (8,882–9,245 kg) for shipping weight. That is roughly 758 lb (3.9%) more than shipping weight. Operating weight is generally the more useful starting point when estimating a ready-to-use tractor.
How much does the New Holland TG230 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 25,305 lb (11,478 kg). That is up to 5,723 lb (29.2%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the New Holland TG230 a heavy row-crop tractor?
Yes. The representative figure sits at about the 82nd percentile, heavier than roughly 82% of the row-crop tractor peers. That puts it in the heavy range for this comparison. It is 6,334 lb heavier than the peer-group average of 14,006 lb.
Does the New Holland TG230 weigh more than 10,000 lb?
Yes. The representative published weight is 20,340 lb, and the heaviest published configuration on this page is 25,305 lb (12.65 US tons). Any trailer calculation also needs the trailer itself plus fuel, ballast, attachments and other equipment.
What is the New Holland TG230 weight-to-horsepower ratio?
Using the page’s representative 20,340 lb weight and 230 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 88.4 lb per horsepower. A lower lb/hp number means less tractor mass for each horsepower; this is a comparison metric, not a traction or performance rating.
