The New Holland TDD series was replaced by the TD5000 series in spring 2008, when the engines were upgraded to comply with Tier 3 standards. The appearance of the lineup was now already a couple of generations behind the rest of NH's product range. The exception in the somewhat outdated technology was the new 3.2- and 4.5-liter engines equipped with intercooling and a viscous fan. The lineup expanded downward with two lower-powered 3.2-liter models, but only the 4.5-liter models were imported to Finland. Also new was the high ground clearance TD5050 High Clearance model, which featured large diameter row-crop wheels at both ends.

The transmissions of the models imported to Finland were 12+12 with a mechanical reverser, with the lever positioned to the left of the seat. The range shift was unsynchronized. Standard equipment in Finland included a live power take-off and three hydraulic valves. The four-wheel drive and power take-off switches were mechanical. An electric three-point hitch was available as an option. New in the cab were suspended pedals, but overall the cab was still Spartan. The front axle was new, and the turning radius was larger than before.

Alongside the TD5000 series, a simpler version TD60…TD95 was produced, featuring an open platform and Tier 2 compliant 2.9- and 3.9-liter engines.
