Production of the New Holland TDD series began in Turkey in 2002 alongside the corresponding Case IH JX models. Imports into Finland of the NH tractors did not start until 2004, when production of the machines destined for Western Europe was moved to Italy.

The TDD was developed from the Fiatagri 66 series. Its technology was simpler than that of the smaller TN series, but it offered a lifting capacity of 3,565 kg. The transmission was a 12 + 12 gearbox with a mechanical reverser; its lever was located to the left of the seat. The range shift was unsynchronized. Both the four-wheel-drive engagement and the PTO clutch were mechanical. The rear linkage used Fiat’s traditional mechanical “click-clack” quick-lift control. In Finland, a live PTO and three hydraulic valves were standard equipment.

The cab was cramped and spartan, with the pedals coming up through the floor. The noise level was declared to be 81 dB in Finland. Visually, the TDD looked somewhat more dated than other NH series of the same era. On the revised 2004 models, the hood decals were changed to the design shown in the second illustration.
