Engine Family:
New Holland Genesis/IVECO based diesel engines (specific engine codes would vary per model/year, e.g., F4GE0484, F4GE0454, etc. for the TL-A series, often 3.9L or 4.5L).
Displacement Range:
Approximately 3.9 to 4.5 Liters (238 to 275 cu in).
Horsepower Range:
Estimated 70 to 100 horsepower (depending on specific TL model: TL70, TL80, TL90, TL100).
Torque Range:
Torque figures vary significantly by engine and model, typically in the range of 250-350 Nm (184-258 lb-ft) at governed RPM.
Injection Type:
Typically direct injection with mechanical or electronic control (common rail systems on later models).
Emission Controls:
Varies by region and year; may include EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation), DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) on later models to meet Tier 3/4 standards.
Transmission Type Standard:
Typically a 12-speed manual shuttle shift transmission (e.g., 4 gears x 3 ranges with forward/reverse shuttle) or a 16-speed creeper transmission.
Transmission Type Optional:
Powershift transmissions (e.g., 16x16 or 32x32 with powershift gears) were often available as an option on higher horsepower models.
Shuttle Control:
Synchronized forward/reverse shuttle lever, often located on the steering column for easy directional changes without clutching.
Pto Options:
Standard PTO speeds often include 540/1000 RPM, with ground speed PTO also common. PTO engagement is typically electro-hydraulic or mechanical.
Wheelbase Range:
Approximate wheelbase: 2100mm to 2300mm (83 to 91 inches), depending on specific model and chassis configuration.
Overall Length Range:
Approximate overall length: 3700mm to 4200mm (146 to 165 inches) without implements.
Operating Weight Range:
Approximate operating weight: 3000kg to 4000kg (6600 to 8800 lbs), depending on configuration (2WD/4WD, cab/no cab, loader fitted).
Drawbar Horsepower:
Specific drawbar HP will be lower than rated engine HP, typically 80-85% of rated engine power.
Rollover Protection:
ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) is standard, either as an integrated part of the cab or as a foldable frame for non-cab models.
Braking System:
Hydraulically assisted wet disc brakes, typically on rear axle, and often on front axle for 4WD models. Parking brake is usually mechanical.
Seatbelt:
Operator seatbelt integrated into ROPS/cab structure.
Lighting:
Standard headlights, taillights, brake lights, and turn signals. Optional work lights available.
Features:
Basic operator controls. Cab models may include radio/audio systems, heating and air conditioning (HVAC) with manual controls. Digital hour meters and basic warning lights are standard.
Features:
Electronic draft control (EDC) for the three-point hitch is common on many models, allowing for precise implement control. Power-assisted steering is standard.
Features:
No advanced digital connectivity features as found in modern automotive applications. Focus is on robust mechanical and hydraulic systems.
Engine Oil Filter Change:
Typically every 250-500 operating hours, depending on operating conditions and oil type.
Fuel Filter Change:
Recommended every 500 operating hours or as per manual guidance, with potential for more frequent changes in dusty conditions.
Air Filter Maintenance:
Check daily, clean or replace as needed based on operating environment. Service interval typically 250-500 hours.
Hydraulic Fluid Filter Change:
Typically every 500-1000 operating hours.
Engine Oil Grade:
Typically API CJ-4 or ACEA E7/E9, viscosity SAE 15W-40 or 10W-30. Always refer to manual for exact specification based on climate and engine type.
Hydraulic Transmission Fluid:
NH 410B or equivalent UTTO (Universal Tractor Transmission Oil) or STOU (Super Tractor Oil Universal) with correct specifications. Critical to use the correct fluid to avoid damage to wet brakes and hydraulic components.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze/coolant, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Yellow or OAT (Organic Acid Technology) coolant is often recommended for modern diesel engines.
Issue 1:
Wear in Powershift clutches/gear sets, particularly if operated aggressively or with heavy loads without proper maintenance.
Issue 2:
Hydraulic system leaks, often due to aged seals or hoses, affecting lift capacity or power steering.
Issue 3:
Electrical connection corrosion or failure, leading to intermittent operation of lights or dashboard indicators.
Issue 4:
Wear on PTO clutch packs or engagement mechanisms.
Heritage:
New Holland Agriculture is a global leader in agricultural machinery with a legacy dating back to 1895. Known for innovation and reliability in tractors and harvesting equipment.
Series Evolution:
The TL Series represented a significant segment of New Holland's utility tractor line during its production years, evolving from earlier models and often sharing components with other Fiatagri/CNH Industrial tractor platforms. They bridge the gap between smaller utility tractors and larger row-crop models.
Production Period:
Production years span roughly from the late 1990s to mid-2000s, with various updates and designations (e.g., TL-A, TL-B).
