Introduction
New Holland TS90 Agricultural Tractor
The New Holland TS90 is a utility tractor produced between 1999 and 2003 at the Basildon facility in England. Part of the TS series, this machine was engineered to provide reliable performance for diverse agricultural applications, offering configurations suitable for both livestock and general field operations.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 5.0-liter, 304 cubic-inch liquid-cooled engine, delivering a rated power of 90 hp (67.1 kW) at a governed speed of 2170 RPM. With a bore and stroke of 112 x 127 mm and a compression ratio of 17.5:1, the engine is designed for consistent torque delivery in demanding field conditions.
Transmission Configurations
The TS90 features a versatile range of transmission options to suit specific operational needs. The lineup includes the EconoShift (8 forward/2 reverse), Econo Dual Command (16 forward/4 reverse), Synchro Command (12 forward/12 reverse), and Synchro Dual Command (24 forward/24 reverse). ElectroShift variants are also available, providing up to 24 forward and reverse speeds, with optional creeper ranges for low-speed tasks.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center configuration as standard, with a primary pump flow of 9.7 gpm (36.7 lpm) and a system pressure of 2500 psi. An optional closed-center system increases flow capacity to 21 gpm (79.5 lpm). The rear hitch is a category II type, providing a lift capacity of 4,200 lbs (1905 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point, which can be increased to 6,210 lbs (2816 kg) with an assist ram.
