| PTO (claimed) | 90hp / 67.1kW |
ENGINE DETAIL
The Ford-New Holland 8160 is powered by a robust 7.5L diesel engine with a high compression ratio of 17.5:1, providing efficient combustion and improved torque output at 1400 RPM, optimal for heavy-duty tasks. Its bore and stroke dimensions (4.5 x 5.0 inches) favor low-end torque, enhancing its suitability for applications like plowing and hauling. The engine's starter power (4.9 hp) combined with a coolant capacity of 24.8 qts ensures reliable operation in various conditions, though the complexity of valve clearances (0.016 inches intake, 0.018 inches exhaust) necessitates meticulous maintenance to prevent performance issues.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Ford-New Holland 8160 features a Dual Command partially synchronized transmission, offering 23 forward and 12 reverse gears, allowing for efficient speed modulation in various field conditions. The wet disc clutch improves durability and allows for gear changes on-the-go within ranges, though range shifts necessitate a complete stop, which might be less convenient in dynamic operations. The optional creeper gear effectively doubles speed options, enhancing versatility for detailed tasks like tillage or planting where slow precision is critical.
| Transmission | Dual Command |
| Type | partially synchronized |
| Gears | 23 forward and 12 reverse |
| Clutch | wet disc |
| Oil capacity | 76.8qts / 72.7L |
| Description | Four gears (1-4) in three ranges (A-C) with left-hand shuttle lever and push-button underdrive. Gear shifts may be made on the move with the clutch. The tractor must be stopped to shift range. The forward-reverse shuttle, and the push-button underdrive, may be performed on the move without the clutch. Reverse gears operate in underdrive only. Optional creeper doubles the available speeds to 46 forward and 24 reverse |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Ford-New Holland 8160 features a 17-speed Range Command transmission with a partial power shift, allowing for smooth and efficient gear changes via a left-hand shuttle lever. This design supports both versatility in speed selection and the ability to use a creeper gear for enhanced precision, making it ideal for applications requiring fine control, such as tillage or specialty crop management. However, the limitation of reverse gears being available only in range B could pose challenges when maneuvering in tighter spaces, necessitating careful planning during operation.

| Description | The 17-speed Range Command transmission was available with 2WD. Six gears (1-6) in three ranges (A-C) with left-hand shuttle lever. Push-button gear shifting on the move. To shift ranges, hold up or down gear shift button while pressing range shift button. Reverse is available in range B only. Optional creeper increases available speeds to 30 forward and 12 in reverse |
TRANSMISSION 3
The Ford-New Holland 8160's Range Command transmission offers versatility with 18 forward and 6 reverse speeds, enabling smooth transitions for various agricultural tasks. Its wet disc clutch provides reliable performance, though the limited reverse gear in range B may be a constraint in certain scenarios such as loading operations in confined spaces. The optional creeper gear enhances operational efficiency, allowing for additional speed settings of 31 forward and 12 reverse, making it advantageous for precise maneuvers.
