New Holland C327
The New Holland C327 is the sole radial-lift compact track loader in the 300 Series, pairing a 74 hp FPT diesel with 2700 lbs of rated capacity. Its radial geometry is aimed squarely at digging, grading, and dirt work rather than truck loading.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓Radial-lift geometry gives it stronger digging and prying performance at ground level than the Super Boom machines in the same lineup.
- ✓Simple radial arms mean fewer pivot points and grease zerks than a vertical linkage, which owners appreciate at maintenance time.
- ✓The 74 hp FPT engine and 8270 lb weight give it a strong power-to-weight feel for grading and pushing dirt.
- ✓A 32.4 GPM high-flow option lets it run brush cutters and mulchers that many radial CTLs in this class can't feed.
- ✓Track drive keeps it working in mud and on slopes where the wheeled 300 Series machines would spin out.
- ✓The wide 300 Series cab, 8-inch display, and standard backup camera carry over from the pricier models unchanged.
- ✓It's priced below the Case TR270B-class competition, making it one of the cheaper 74 hp CTLs from a major brand.
- ✓Shared CNH platform parts with Case track loaders make sourcing wear items easier than the NH dealer count implies.
Cons
- ✗The 98-inch dump height and modest reach make loading tall trucks awkward - buyers who load daily should step to the vertical-lift C-Series machines.
- ✗New Holland's construction dealer network is thin in many regions, so service and warranty support can be a long haul.
- ✗Radial geometry arcs the load back over the machine as it lifts, limiting placement precision at full height.
- ✗Track undercarriage maintenance costs are real - rollers, idlers, and rubber tracks add up fast versus a wheeled machine.
- ✗Resale values trail Bobcat, Cat, and Deere CTL equivalents in most markets.
- ✗At 8270 lbs it's heavier than several competing radial CTLs, which matters for trailering behind a 3/4-ton truck.
- ✗Owners report FPT emissions sensors can throw nuisance codes that are annoying to diagnose without a nearby dealer.
- ✗As the only radial CTL in the lineup it gets less marketing attention, and some dealers stock few units to demo or rent.
