Superior Media - New Holland filters are designed to trap more of the small contaminants that are most damaging to diesel engines. The media is uniformly resin-impregnated and heat-cured to provide efficient filtration, while resisting the effects of moisture.
  • Page 9 Excellent filterability provides extra protection against system contamination. DIESEL FUEL Use a good grade of fuel which meets SAE/ASTM EN 590 or equivalent. The use of biodiesel blends is approved for New Holland engines up to B5 (5% blend ratio). Oil Viscosity/ Engine Oil Capacity...

  • Page 13 TG PERFORMANCE ITEMS TerraGlide™ and SuperSteer™ FWD Axles A TerraGlide FWD axle is optional on TG model tractors. The TerraGlide axle helps keep the front wheels on the ground. This keeps the tractor stable under the variety of conditions tractors encounter on a regular basis.
  • Page 14 PERFORMANCE ITEMS High-Capacity Drawbar A high-capacity drawbar option is available for applications where heavy drawbar loads are expected. The high-capacity drawbar should be used for applications like front folding planters, liquid manure wagons, and large grain carts. Three swing positions, one on each side of center, are obtainable by moving bolts which extend up through the drawbar hanger on both sides of the drawbar.
  • Page 15 CAN system. New Holland tractors are designed as a platform for evolving technology to provide more usable information.
  • Page 16 New Holland EZ-Guide The new EZ-Guide Plus is the second generation of lightbar to be offered by New Holland. It is also the first lightbar in the industry to combine easy-to-read guidance LED’s with a graphical LCD screen, and a high-end GPS receiver all in one unit.
  • Page 17 Many tire manufacturers recommend using cast iron weights. If liquid ballast must be used, New Holland requires it be placed in the inside duals only if the wheels are spacer band type. Flange style duals or hub style duals may be lightly filled.
  • Page 18 RIDE, TRACTION & PERFORMANCE TG Tractors Refer to Load/Inflation Chart for inflation and tire size information (starting on page 26 or in the tire manufacturers’ guide). Tall, wide, soft radial tires provide: • The best traction. • The best ride. •...
  • Page 19 RIDE, TRACTION & PERFORMANCE FWD Dual Wheel Field Test Results The University of Nebraska conducted field tests in the summer of 1999 to compare the effect of traction on tractors equipped with and without front dual wheels. The results showed, when pulling drawbar implements, generally a 65/35 rear/front weight split performed the best for tractive efficiency with single or front dual wheels.
  • Page 20 Lead/Lag The relationship between the front and rear tires is referred to as Lead/Lag and is stated as a percentage. New Holland has established a Lead/Lag range that provides the operator with acceptable tire wear, front tire steering, and front tire pulling power.
  • Page 21 RIDE, TRACTION & PERFORMANCE TJ Tractors Tire manufacturers have found practices and procedures developed for bias ply tires may actually reduce the performance of radial ply tires. Minor adjustments in the tractor weight split (front/rear), ballast, and tire inflation pressure can dramatically improve performance of the tractor. Proper weight split, ballast, and tire inflation can: •...
  • Page 22 RIDE, TRACTION & PERFORMANCE Ballasting 4WD Tractors - Drawbar Applications Tractors used in drawbar work only. Generally these tractors are not equipped with a 3-point hitch or PTO and are used to pull standard pull type implements such as disks, chisel plows, field cultivators, rippers, etc.
  • Page 23 RIDE, TRACTION & PERFORMANCE Front and Rear Suitcase Weights Front Frame Weights Front suitcase weights can be mounted on the front of the tractor with a weight hanger. A maximum of 18 suitcase weights at 45 kg (100 lb) each can be installed, depending on the application, tractor static weight ratio and soil conditions.
  • Page 24 RIDE, TRACTION & PERFORMANCE TG Tractor—Tire Load and Inflation The inflation pressures are based on cold inflation pressure recommended by the Tire and Rim Association Inc. How to Use the Load and Inflation Charts: 1. Determine the ballasted tractor front axle weight and tractor rear axle weight. Note: If using fully mounted or high vertical drawbar implements, add the weight of the implement to the rear weight (refer to implement manual for weight).
  • Page 25 RIDE, TRACTION & PERFORMANCE TJ Tractor Tire Pressure for Maximum Tire Load at Rated Inflation To achieve the best tire pressure and load capacity, scale weigh the front and rear axle of the tractor. Determine proper ballast weight split. 60% Front/40% Rear - Tractor used with hitch mounted implements. 55% Front/45% Rear - Tractor used with drawbar towed high draft implement.

  • Page 28 RIDE, TRACTION & PERFORMANCE Preventing Powerhop On MFD tractors, powerhop occurs when the front axle attempts to out-pull the rear axle. On 4WD tractors, powerhop occurs when the rear axle attempts to out- pull the front axle. Regardless of model or manufacturer, under certain conditions tractors may hop fore and aft or the tires may bounce up and down.
