I've got a TS90 with the 12x12 transmission. It's OK. All of those 12x12's that I've seen have a nasty habit of locking in gear from time to time if you're not careful about how you shift them. Mine will lock in low range... That hasn't been a big problem but I always carry a screwdriver to remove the access cover in front of the levers so I can realign the forks... Really I suppose it's only done that mabey 5 times in 15 years... but I'm careful to make sure it doesn't. I don't force the low range shift. The 24x24 is the same mechanical transmission with a dual power feature. For my own part I've never really been fond of the 12 speed layout. If I was buying another it would be a 16 speed. Some had electrical problems.... and then there's others out there with 12000 hours and never a glitch.
The TL I think can be had with the 12x12 transmission... but it's got a dry PTO clutch that would bother me. The TS has a wet PTO... TS is Ford heritage. TL is Fiat heritage for the most part... so you get an Iveco engine in that one and the Genesis engine in the TS. Overall I think the TS is a better tractor. Also be aware that with the 16x16 you get the higher end hydraulic system. The 12x12 models have the twin gear pump system which is basically open center... The other is a pressure/flow compensated system. I think the 24x24 also had the PFC system though I'm not certain. IIRC, it also had a wet clutch and reverser...

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
