ENGINE DETAIL

The New Holland L85 tractor, powered by the 3.9L Iveco 8045.25 turbocharged diesel engine, delivers 85hp at a rated 2500 RPM, making it suitable for medium-duty agricultural tasks. Its efficient oil and coolant capacities (12.4 qts and 14.8-16.9 qts respectively) enhance durability and reduce maintenance frequency, though the slightly lower power rating may limit performance in heavy-duty applications. The Thermostart pre-heating system is an advantage for cold starts, ensuring reliability in varying climates.

NEW HOLLAND L85 ENGINE

The New Holland L85 tractor is powered by an Iveco 3.9L 4-cylinder diesel engine, which offers a balance of power and fuel efficiency for various agricultural tasks. The 29-gallon (109.8L) fuel tank capacity enables extended operation between refueling, making it suitable for long working hours in the field. However, users should consider that the size and weight of the engine may impact maneuverability in tighter spaces, potentially limiting its use in smaller farms or orchards.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The New Holland L85 tractor features a 12-speed partially synchronized transmission with a synchronized shuttle, enabling smooth directional changes, while the 24-speed partial power shift allows for optimal speed customization and efficient power management across various terrains. This design enhances operator control and boosts productivity in agricultural tasks. However, the complexity of the transmission system may require more maintenance and operator training to maximize its potential.

TRANSMISSION 1

The New Holland L85 tractor features a Synchro Command transmission, offering 12 forward and reverse gears, boosting versatility in various agricultural tasks. The partially synchronized gear shifting enhances operational efficiency, enabling smooth transitions and reducing driver fatigue during frequent direction changes. However, reliance on a synch shuttle may present challenges in heavy-duty applications where immediate gear engagement is critical.

Type partiallly synchronized with sync shuttle
Gears 12 forward and reverse
Description Four gears in three ranges with left-hand reverser. Gear and shuttle shifts are synchronized.

TRANSMISSION 2

The New Holland L85 tractor's Dual Command transmission offers enhanced operational flexibility with 24 forward and 12 reverse gears, allowing precise speed adjustments for various applications. The partial power shift feature enables seamless gear transitions, improving productivity in both fieldwork and transport tasks. However, the complexity of the dual control system may require additional operator training to maximize efficiency and minimize potential gear shifting errors.

Gears 24 forward and 12 reverse
Description Four gears in three ranges with two-speed power shift and left-hand reverser. The Dual Command provides push-button shifting to lower gear at each speed.

MECHANICAL

The New Holland L85 tractor offers versatile drivetrain options, available in both 4x2 and 4x4 configurations, enhancing traction across varied terrains. The hydraulic wet disc brakes provide consistent stopping power, improving safety during operation with heavy loads. With optional air-conditioning in the cab, operator comfort can be maximized during long hours in diverse agricultural environments, though the two-post ROPS design may limit full cab protection in rollover scenarios.
