Introduction

Volvo T800 (T810 Series)

The Volvo T800, part of the T810 series, is a heavy-duty agricultural tractor manufactured between 1966 and 1978. Designed for high-output field operations, it represents the robust engineering standards of Volvo during the mid-to-late 20th century.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled Volvo D60 6-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 5.5 liters. It delivers a power output of 106 hp (79.0 kW) at a rated speed of 2300 RPM. The engine is tuned for torque, providing up to 267.7 lb-ft (363.0 Nm) at 1600 RPM, which provides the necessary lugging power for sustained agricultural tasks.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The T800 features a mechanical transmission with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears. It is configured as a 4x2 2WD drive as standard, with an optional 4x4 MFWD (Mechanical Front Wheel Drive) configuration available for increased traction. The machine includes a standard differential lock to assist in difficult terrain, while steering is managed through a hydrostatic power system.

Hydraulics and PTO

The hydraulic system operates at a pressure of 2275 psi (156.9 bar) and provides a standard pump flow of 7.9 gpm (29.9 lpm), with an optional 11.9 gpm (45.0 lpm) capacity for more demanding implement requirements. The rear power take-off (PTO) supports both 540 and 1000 RPM speeds, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of implements. The rear hitch has a maximum lift capacity of 5,200 lbs (2358 kg).

Dimensions and Construction

With a wheelbase of 106 inches (269 cm) and a total length of 156 inches (396 cm), the tractor provides a stable platform for heavy work. It features an operating weight of 9,900 lbs (4490 kg). The front tread is adjustable between 56 and 73 inches, while the rear tread ranges from 66 to 89 inches, allowing the tractor to be configured for various row-crop spacings.

Conclusion

The Volvo T800 is a versatile and durable tractor suitable for mid-to-large scale farming operations. Its combination of a high-torque 6-cylinder engine, optional 4WD capability, and adjustable tread widths makes it a capable machine for both heavy tillage and general field maintenance.
