Last Updated: July 2024

Overview

The New Holland 8160 is a row-crop tractor with a 4x4 MFWD (Mechanical Front Wheel Drive) chassis configuration. It features an 18-speed transmission with selective gear fixed ratio and partial (6) range operator-controlled powershift. The liquid-cooled, 6-cylinder Genesis diesel engine runs on Diesel No. 2 fuel, has a displacement of 456 cubic inches, a bore of 4.4 inches, a stroke of 5 inches, and produces a maximum power of 89.7 HP (66.85 kW) at 2201 rpm. The maximum torque is 287.5 lb.-ft. (389.8 Nm) at 1437 rpm with a 34.2% torque rise. The hydraulic system features a closed-center load-sensing design, with a maximum force exerted of 902 lbs at the hitch points, a pump delivery rate of 23.9 GPM (90.6 l/min) at minimum pressure and rated engine speed, and a maximum hydraulic power of 34.5 HP (25.7 kW) at 2465 psi. The drawbar performance includes a power of 57.5 HP (42.90 kW) at rated engine speed in 5th gear, with a drawbar pull of 7400 lbs (32.92 kN) and a speed of 3.70 mph (5.96 km/h). The unladen tractor mass with front drive engaged is 11,330 lb. It has dimensions of 180 inches in length, 84 inches in width, and a maximum height of 119.5 inches to the top of the exhaust. The tractor is equipped with hydraulically operated single wet disc brakes with foot pedals and has a sound level of 75.0 dB(A) in both engaged and disengaged modes.
