Introduction
New Holland TK85 Agricultural Crawler Tractor
The New Holland TK85 is a specialized agricultural crawler tractor produced between 2000 and 2004. Designed for field operations requiring high traction and stability, this machine features a tracked propulsion system and is categorized within the manufacturer's agricultural crawler line.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an Iveco 8045.05 diesel engine. This 3.9-liter, 4-cylinder liquid-cooled unit delivers a power output of 80 hp (59.7 kW) at a rated speed of 2500 RPM. The engine displacement and configuration are optimized to provide sustained torque for heavy draft applications.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The TK85 utilizes a constant mesh transmission providing 8 forward and 8 reverse gears, allowing for precise speed selection during cultivation or transport. Power is transferred through a 292mm dry disc clutch. The crawler drive system, supported by 12.2-inch wide tracks, ensures minimal ground compaction and high pulling force in varied terrain conditions.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system features a main pump flow capacity of 12 gpm (45.4 lpm), with a dedicated 5 gpm (18.9 lpm) flow allocated for steering functions. The tractor is equipped with a rear hitch of category II/I, utilizing top-link draft sensing for implement control. It offers a lift capacity of 4,078 lbs (1,849 kg) measured at 24 inches (610 mm) behind the lift point, with 3 to 5 rear valves available for external hydraulic implements.
PTO and Electrical System
The independent rear PTO system supports two operational speeds: 540 RPM at 2199 engine RPM and 1000 RPM at 2381 engine RPM. The electrical system operates on a 12-volt circuit, powered by an alternator with a 45-amp charging capacity, ensuring reliable operation of lighting and electronic controls.
Conclusion
With an operating weight ranging from 8,570 to 8,900 pounds, the New Holland TK85 is engineered for agricultural tasks that demand superior traction and stability. Its combination of a reliable Iveco engine, standard crawler tracks, and flexible hydraulic configuration makes it a suitable choice for demanding field operations where wheeled tractors may face limitations.
