Torque: Specific torque figures vary by model, but are in the high torque range for heavy-duty field operations. Fuel System Fuel Type: Diesel, LP-Gas (as indicated by governor section) Injection System: Commonly high-pressure common rail (HPCR) fuel injection system for efficiency and power. Engine Internals Cylinder Configuration: Inline 6-cylinder (typical for Cummins QSX series) Emission Control: Likely features advanced emission control systems such as Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) depending on model year and region. 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Type Standard: New Holland's Ultra Command™ continuously variable transmission (CVT) is a prominent feature in this series, offering infinite speed selection. Optional Transmission Type Optional: Depending on the specific model year and configuration, powershift transmissions might have been available as an option. Features Transmission Features: CVT provides optimal fuel efficiency and productivity by precisely matching engine speed to load. Powershift transmissions offer efficient power delivery through gear changes. Fluid Requirements Transmission Fluid Type: Requires specific tractor transmission fluid (TFD) or equivalent, such as New Holland Ambra™ UTTO or an approved aftermarket equivalent. Refer to manual for precise specifications. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Wheelbase: Varies by configuration (e.g., standard vs. articulated versions if applicable within the T8 range), but typically in the range of 120-130 inches for standard wheel configurations. Weights Operating Weight: Can range from approximately 20,000 to 30,000+ lbs depending on configuration and ballast. Max Gross Weight: Significantly higher, designed for heavy draft work and potential trailer towing. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Rollover Protection: Equipped with a Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) as standard for operator safety. Active Features Braking System: Service brakes are hydraulic, typically wet disk brakes for durability and performance. Parking brake system also included. Passive Features Operator Station Safety: Features like safety interlocks on PTO and transmission, seatbelt, and clearly visible warning lights. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Operator Station Features: While primarily focused on productivity, cabs often feature advanced climate control, ergonomic seating, and integrated control consoles for tractor functions. Driver Assistance Precision Agriculture: The T8 series is often equipped with or designed to integrate with precision agriculture technologies like GPS guidance (e.g., New Holland IntelliSteer™), auto-steering, and telematics systems for remote monitoring and fleet management. Connectivity Telematics Integration: Integration with telematics systems allows for real-time monitoring of machine performance, location, and diagnostic codes, improving operational efficiency and maintenance planning. Control Systems Integrated Control: Features like the IntelliView™ IV touch-screen display consolidate machine controls, implement controls, and guidance systems into a single interface. 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Engine Oil Change: Typically every 250-500 operating hours, depending on operating conditions and oil type used. Always consult manual for exact intervals. Hydraulic Fluid Filter: Intervals usually around 500-1000 operating hours. Critical for maintaining hydraulic system health. Air Filter Replacement: Check regularly and replace based on dust load and condition, typically within 250-500 hours. Fluid Specifications Engine Oil Specification:...
