Engine Make Model:
Ford New Holland / Fiat Powertrain Technologies (FPT) Engine (Specific model number not provided in product info, but typically a 4-cylinder diesel)
Displacement Approximate:
Approximately 3.9 Liters (236 cubic inches) - Common for this series.
Horsepower Rated:
Typically in the 70-85 PTO horsepower range (exact figure varies by specific model variant and engine tuning).
Torque Peak:
Engine torque figures vary, but generally designed for strong low-end torque for pulling applications.
Injection Type:
Typically direct injection, possibly with rotary or inline injection pumps.
Type:
Likely a mechanically controlled transmission with multiple forward and reverse gears. Options could include 8x2, 8x8, or 16x16 powershift transmissions.
Options:
Possible options for synchronized shifters or powershift transmission variants (e.g., Electro-Shift).
Pto Options:
Standard PTO speeds (e.g., 540/1000 RPM) and potentially ground speed PTO.
Differential Lock:
Usually equipped with a rear axle differential lock for improved traction.
Wheelbase:
Varies by configuration, but typically around 85-90 inches (2150-2300 mm).
Operating Weight Approximate:
Around 5,000 - 6,500 lbs (2270 - 2950 kg) without ballast, depending on configuration (cab, loader, etc.).
Rollover Protection:
ROPS certified structure included or available; cab provides enhanced protection.
Braking System:
Hydraulic wet disc brakes, known for reliability and effectiveness.
Seatbelt:
Operator seatbelt is a standard safety feature, especially with ROPS or cab.
Lighting:
Includes headlights, taillights, and work lights for visibility.
Features:
Primarily focused on operational functionality. Cabin models may include basic radio and heating/ventilation systems.
Features:
Basic PTO speed control, hydraulic lift controls (draft control, position control), and potentially cruise control for PTO or engine speed.
Features:
No advanced digital connectivity features expected for this era of tractor.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 250 hours or annually, whichever comes first.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Typically every 250-500 hours or annually.
Hydraulic Fluid Filter:
Recommended replacement intervals, often around 500 hours or as per manual guidance.
Air Filter Service:
Inspect daily, replace as needed based on operating conditions, typically every 250-500 hours.
Engine Oil Viscosity:
API CD or CE classification, SAE 15W-40 recommended for general use (refer to specific manual for precise grade).
Hydraulic Fluid Type:
Ford New Holland approved hydraulic/transmission fluid (e.g., NH 134) or equivalent meeting ISO VG 46 specifications.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water.
Common Wear Items:
Clutch wear, hydraulic pump seals, and PTO clutch engagement can be common wear items with high usage.
Electrical Connections:
Corrosion on electrical connectors and grounds can sometimes cause intermittent issues, especially in older units.
Cooling System Leaks:
Radiator hoses and seals can degrade over time, leading to coolant leaks.
Heritage:
Ford New Holland built upon the legacy of Ford tractors, known for robustness and widespread dealer support.
Series:
Part of the Ford New Holland 40 Series, which succeeded earlier Ford tractor lines and was later integrated fully into the New Holland brand. These tractors represent a transition period.
