ENGINE DETAIL

The New Holland T6040 Elite is powered by a robust FPT NEF turbocharged diesel engine that balances efficient power output (120 hp) with a high compression ratio (16.5:1), promoting enhanced fuel efficiency and torque delivery at lower RPMs. Its advanced fuel system (HPCR) and dual paper air filtration ensure optimal combustion and engine longevity, making it suitable for both agricultural and heavy-duty applications. However, compliance with Tier 3 emissions standards may limit its use in regions with stricter emissions regulations, so consideration of local compliance is essential for operational viability.

TRANSMISSION

The New Holland T6040 Elite tractor features a partial power shift transmission with 16 forward and reverse gears, enhancing operational flexibility. Its AutoShift capability allows for automatic shifting across multiple ranges, improving efficiency during varied field conditions while the economy mode can significantly reduce fuel consumption in transport applications. However, the complexity of the hydraulic wet disc clutch system may require more maintenance and expertise, especially in heavy-duty applications.
