New Holland TM120 Row-Crop Tractor

The New Holland TM120 is a row-crop tractor produced between 2002 and 2007 at the Basildon plant in England. Part of the TM series, this machine is engineered for general agricultural operations requiring a balance of power and versatility.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a CNH Genesis 7.5-liter, 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. It delivers a rated power of 120 hp (89.5 kW) at 2200 RPM. The engine features a liquid-cooling system and a dual-element air cleaner with an aspirator to maintain efficiency in dusty environments.

Multiple transmission configurations were available, including Dual Command, Shuttle Command, Range Command, and Power Command. These options range from partially synchronized gearboxes with power shuttle to full power shift systems, providing up to 48 forward gears with an optional creeper range. The tractor is available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive variants.

Hydraulics and Hitch

The hydraulic system utilizes a closed-center load-sensing (CCLS) design with a pump flow of 28 gpm (106 lpm), reaching a maximum system pressure of 2750 psi. The rear hitch is a Category II type with electronic lower-link draft control, capable of lifting up to 8137 lbs (3690 kg).

Operator Environment

The standard configuration includes an enclosed cab equipped with heating and air conditioning. For improved operator comfort during long field days, an optional heated air-ride seat is available. The tractor utilizes power steering and differential hydraulic wet disc brakes for precise control.
