Introduction

New Holland 8560 Row-Crop Tractor

The New Holland 8560 is a row-crop tractor produced between 1996 and 1999. Manufactured in England, this model was designed to provide reliable performance for heavy-duty agricultural operations, offering a balance of power and mechanical versatility.

Engine and Power

The tractor is powered by a 6-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with a displacement of 7.5 liters (456 ci). Operating within a rated speed of 2300 RPM, it delivers a power output of 144 hp. The engine features a compression ratio of 17.5:1 and utilizes a firing order of 1-5-3-6-2-4 to ensure consistent performance during field work.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The machine is equipped with a Range Command partial power shift transmission. Depending on the configuration, it offers 17 forward and 6 reverse speeds for 2WD models, or 18 forward and 6 reverse speeds for 4WD models. A left-hand shuttle lever facilitates directional changes, while an optional creeper gear set further extends the speed range. The drivetrain includes a wet disc clutch and differential locks with both manual and automatic modes.

Hydraulics and Hitch

The hydraulic system utilizes a closed-center, load-sensing design, providing a pump flow of 98.4 lpm (26 gpm) at a pressure of 190 bar (2755 psi). It supports 2 to 4 remote valves. The rear hitch is a Category II/III type, capable of lifting up to 5443 kg (12,000 lbs) at 610 mm behind the lift point, accommodating a wide array of heavy implements.

Dimensions and Handling

Available in both 2WD and MFWD 4WD configurations, the tractor features hydrostatic power steering and differential hydraulic wet disc brakes. The wheelbase measures 275 cm for the 2WD model and 272 cm for the 4WD version. Adjustable front and rear tread widths allow the machine to be configured for various row-crop spacings and terrain conditions.

Conclusion

"The New Holland 8560 is a robust, high-capacity tractor tailored for professional farming applications. Its combination of a powerful 6-cylinder engine, sophisticated load-sensing hydraulics, and flexible transmission options makes it a suitable choice for demanding traction and implement-heavy tasks."
