In the autumn of 1998, the New Holland TN series was introduced, which included five different versions. The standard model was designated TND. The TNS model was equipped with a SuperSteer front axle, in which the front axle pivoted relative to the chassis to improve maneuverability. We do not have information on the narrow specialty models for wine and fruit growing—TNV, TNN, and TNF—or the cabless TN.

The basic technology of the lineup was closely related to the preceding Fiat 66 series. The engines were 3-cylinder Iveco units with DIN power ratings of 50–72 hp. In the narrow lineup there were also 4-cylinder models up to 88 hp. There were three transmission options. The base version was a 16+16-speed Shuttle Command with no extra refinements. The mechanical reverser was on the left side. The Split Command model was additionally equipped with a mechanical reduction high-low gear, giving it 32+16 speeds. The Dual Command also had the same number of gears, but its high-low gear was hydraulic and the reverser was replaced by an electro-hydraulic PowerShuttle. Depending on the version, the lowest speed ranged from 0.5 to 0.8 km/h, but all models could also be fitted with a true creeper gearbox, for up to 44+16 speeds. The range shift was unsynchronized.

The differential locks were engaged electro-hydraulically. TNS models featured automatic four-wheel drive engagement based on slip control. An electric top link was available as an option. Even the basic lift came with Fiat’s Lift-O-Matic quick-lift control and draft sensing on the lift arms. The hydraulic system came standard with three SCVs. A live PTO was standard, and PTO speeds were 540 rpm (for TNS models 540/750 rpm). The cab had a relatively low center section, keeping the overall tractor height to just 230 cm. The noise level was quoted at 78–79.5 dB. TNS models had a digital instrument cluster. In Southern Europe, the TN series was also available in Fiatagri colors.
