Engine Manufacturer:
Likely Cummins or Ford/New Holland proprietary diesel engines, depending on the specific build and market.
Horsepower Range:
Typically in the 150-200+ horsepower range for models like the 8360, providing substantial power for heavy draft work.
Torque Output:
High torque output designed for pulling heavy loads and maintaining power under demanding conditions.
Cooling System:
Robust liquid-cooling system with a substantial radiator and fan for sustained operation in all conditions.
Exhaust System:
Heavy-duty exhaust system designed for efficient gas evacuation and noise reduction.
Transmission Type:
Likely a powershift or semi-powershift transmission (e.g., 18-speed or 19-speed powershift) for seamless gear changes under load.
Optional Transmission:
Potentially a standard manual transmission or a creeper gear option might have been available depending on specific configurations.
Power Take Off Pto:
Standard rear PTO with multiple speed options (e.g., 540/1000 RPM) and potentially a ground speed PTO.
Overall Length:
Variable, but typically in the range of 170-200 inches (430-510 cm) without front end loader or rear implements.
Overall Width:
Variable based on tire size, typically around 80-100 inches (200-255 cm).
Operating Weight:
Significantly heavy, often exceeding 15,000 lbs (6,800 kg), allowing for substantial traction and stability.
Wheelbase:
Substantial wheelbase contributing to stability during heavy draft operations, typically around 100-115 inches (255-290 cm).
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 250-500 operating hours, depending on oil type and operating conditions. Refer to specific manual for precise intervals.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Recommended every 1000-2000 operating hours, with filter changes at more frequent intervals.
Engine Oil Type:
API CD or CE classification diesel engine oil, viscosity grade typically SAE 15W-40. Consult manual for exact specifications.
Hydraulic Fluid Type:
Ford/New Holland approved UTF (Universal Tractor Transmission Oil) or equivalent hydraulic/transmission fluid. Capacity typically 15-20 gallons.
Common Wear Items:
Common wear items include clutch packs, hydraulic pump seals, PTO clutch, and front axle pivot bushings due to heavy usage.
Electrical Gremlins:
Some older models may experience minor electrical issues related to wiring harness degradation or connector corrosion, particularly in damp environments.
Origin:
Ford New Holland traces its roots to Ford Tractor Operations (acquired in 1985) and New Holland Machine Company (founded 1895).
Series Placement:
The 8000 series (which the 8360 belongs to) represented Ford's higher horsepower, premium agricultural tractors of its era, designed for versatility and performance.
Production Period:
The 8360 model was part of the Ford New Holland 'Genesis' tractor line, produced primarily in the 1990s.
