Last Updated: July 2024

Overview

The New Holland T8050 is a powerful row-crop tractor driven by a liquid-cooled, six-cylinder, intercooled turbocharged diesel engine manufactured by CNH Engine Corporation. The engine has a displacement of 540 cubic inches (8849 ml), a compression ratio of 17.6:1, and produces a rated maximum power output of 311.04 horsepower at 2200 rpm. It generates a maximum torque of 994 lb-ft (1348 Nm) at 1500 rpm, with a torque rise of 51.6% and power increase of 13.1% at 1984 rpm. The tractor features a selective gear fixed ratio transmission with power shift, offering 19 forward and 6 reverse gears with detailed nominal travel speeds. It has a 4-wheel drive chassis (4x4 MFWD 4WD) and power steering for enhanced traction and maneuverability. The operating weight is 24095 pounds unladen and 34500 pounds with ballast. The tractor is equipped with radial tires and has a 12-volt electric starter. Comprehensive hydraulic performance details include a maximum force of 19795 lbs (88.1 kN), pump delivery rate of 44.0 GPM (166.6 l/min) at 2946 psi (203 bar), and hydraulic power of 71.3 HP (53.2 kW). Detailed dimensions and fuel consumption rates are also provided in the test results.
