Proposition 65 Warning
Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.
Electro-magnetic Interference (EMC)
This tractor complies strictly with the European Regulations on electro-magnetic
emissions. However, interference may arise as a result of add-on equipment which
may not necessarily meet the required standards. As such interference can result in
serious malfunction of the unit and/or create unsafe situations, you must observe the
following:
Ensure that each piece of non-New Holland equipment fitted to the tractor bears
the CE mark.
The maximum power of emission equipment (radio, telephones, etc.) must not
exceed the limits imposed by the national authorities of the country where you
use the tractor.
The electro-magnetic field generated by the add-on system should not exceed
24 V/m at any time and at any location in the proximity of electronic components.
Failure to comply with these rules will render the New Holland warranty null and void.

TO THE OWNER
GENERAL
This Manual has been prepared to assist you in the
correct procedure for running-in, driving and operat-
ing and for the maintenance your new tractor. Your
tractor is intended for use in normal and customary
agricultural applications.
Read this Manual carefully and keep it in a conven-
ient place for future reference. If at any time you re-
quire advice concerning your tractor, do not hesitate
to contact your New Holland dealer who has factory
trained personnel, genuine manufacturers’ parts and
the necessary equipment to carry out all your service
requirements.
Your tractor has been designed and built to give
maximum performance, economy and ease of
operation under a wide variety of operating
conditions. Prior to delivery, the tractor was carefully
inspected, both at the factory and by your dealer to
ensure that it reaches you in optimum condition. To
maintain this condition and ensure trouble-free
operation, it is important that the routine services, as
specified in section 3 of this Manual, are carried out at
the recommended intervals.
CLEANING YOUR TRACTOR
Your tractor is a state-of-the-art machine with sophis-
ticated, electronic controls. Even though every
precaution has been taken to safeguard electronic
components and connections, the pressure gener-
ated by some pressure washers is such that
complete protection against water ingress cannot be
guaranteed.
When using a high pressure washer, do not
stand too close to the tractor and avoid directing the
jet at electronic components, electrical connections,
breathers, seals, filler caps, etc.
Never direct a cold water jet at a hot engine or
exhaust.
SAFETY
Pages vi to xi inclusive list the precautions to be
observed to ensure your safety and the safety of
others. Read the safety precautions and carefully
follow the advice offered before operating the
tractor.
FIRST 50 HOUR SERVICE
Near the back of this Manual, you will find Section 5 --
the 50--hour service reports.
After you have operated the tractor for 50 hours, take
your tractor, together with this Manual, to your New
Holland dealer. He will then perform the factory
recommended 50 hour service and complete the
service report sheets (pages 1 and 3). The first sheet
(page 1) is the dealer’s copy and should be removed
by the dealer after the service has been carried out.
The second sheet (page 3) is your copy of the service
performed. Ensure that you and the dealer sign
both copies.
SERVICE PARTS
It is pointed out that genuine parts have been ex-
amined and approved by the Company. The installa-
tion and/or use of ‘non-genuine’ products could have
negative effects upon the design characteristics of
your tractor and thereby affect it’s safety. The Com-
pany is not liable for any damage caused by the use
of ‘non-genuine’ parts and accessories.
It is prohibited to carry out any modifications to the
tractor unless specifically authorised, in writing, by a
New Holland representative.
WARRANTY
Your tractor is warranted according to legal rights in
your country and the contractual agreement with the
selling dealer. No warranty shall, however, apply if
the tractor has not been used, adjusted and main-
tained according to the instructions given in this
Operator’s Manual.

IMPORTANT ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
Soil, air and water are vital factors of agriculture and
life in general. Where legislation does not yet rule the
treatment of some of the substances which are re-
quired by advanced technology, common sense
should govern the use and disposal of products of a
chemical and petrochemical nature.
The following are recommendations which may be of
assistance:
Become acquainted with and ensure that you
understand the relative legislation applicable to your
country.
Where no leglislation exists, obtain information
from suppliers of oils, filters, batteries, fuels, anti-
freeze, cleaning agents, etc., with regard to their ef-
fect on man and nature and how to safely store, use
and dispose of these substances. Agricultural con-
sultants will, in many cases, be able to help you as
well.
HELPFUL HINTS
1. Avoid filling tanks using jerrycans or inappropri-
ate pressurised fuel delivery systems which may
cause considerable spillage.
2. In general, avoid skin contact with all fuels, oils,
acids, solvents, etc. Most of them contain sub-
stances which can be harmful to your health.
3. Modern oils contain additives. Do not burn con-
taminated fuels and/or waste oils in ordinary heating
systems.
4. Avoid spillage when draining off used engine
coolant mixtures, engine, gearbox and hydraulic oils,
brake fluids, etc. Do not mix drained brake fluids or
fuels with lubricants. Store them safely until they can
be disposed of in a proper way to comply with local
regulations.
5. Modern coolant mixtures, i.e. antifreeze and
other additives, should be replaced every two years.
They should not be allowed to get into the soil but
should be collected and disposed of safely.
6. Do not open the air-conditioning system yourself.
It contains gases which should not be released into
the atmosphere. Your New Holland dealer or air
conditioning specialist has specialised equipment for
the recovery and charging of air conditioning systems.
7. Repair any leaks or defects in the engine cooling
or hydraulic system immediately.
8. Do not increase the pressure in a pressurised
circuit as this may lead to the components exploding.
9. Protect hoses during welding as penetrating
weld splatter may burn a hole or weaken them, caus-
ing the loss of oils, coolant, etc.

v
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
A careful operator is the best operator. Most accidents
can be avoided by observing certain precautions. To
help prevent accidents, read and take the following
precautions before driving, operating or servicing the
tractor. Equipment should be operated only by those
who are responsible and instructed to do so.

hazard which could possibly cause serious injury. It is
used to warn operators and others to exercise due
care and attention to avoid a surprise accident with
machinery.
DANGER
The word DANGER denotes a forbidden practice in
connection with a serious hazard.
Failure to follow the CAUTION, WARNING and
DANGER instructions may result in serious bodily
inury or even death.
THE TRACTOR
1. Read the Operator’s Manual carefully before us-
ing the tractor. Lack of operating knowledge can lead
to accidents.
2. Only allow properly trained and qualified persons
to operate the tractor.
3. Use the handrails and step plates, when getting
on and off the tractor, to prevent falls. Keep steps and
platform clear of mud and debris.
4. Replace all missing, illegible or damaged safety
decals.
5. Keep safety decals free of dirt or grime.
6. Do not permit anyone but the operator to ride on
the tractor. There is no safe place for passengers.
7. Keep children away from the tractor and farm
machinery at all times.
8. Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to
modify or alter the tractor or any of its components or
any tractor function without first consulting your New
Holland dealer.
9. Install all guards before starting the engine or op-
erating the tractor.

vi
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DRIVING THE TRACTOR
1. Always sit in the driver’s seat while starting or
driving the tractor.
2. When driving on public roads, have considera-
tion for other road users. Pull in to the side of the road
occasionally to allow any following traffic to pass. Do
not exceed the legal speed limit set in your country for
agricultural tractors.
3. Use a rotating beacon or other recognised warn-
ing when driving on public roads to indicate that the
vehicle is slow moving and is a possible hazard.
4. Dip the tractor lights when meeting a vehicle at
night. Make sure the lights are adjusted to prevent
blinding the driver of an oncoming vehicle.
5. Reduce speed before turning or applying the
brakes. Ensure that both brake pedals are locked to-
gether when travelling at road speeds or when on
public roads. Brake both wheels simultaneously
when making an emergency stop.
6. On four wheel drive tractors the drive to the front
axle is automatically engaged, at speeds above 8.5
km/h (4 MPH), when the brakes are applied, to pro-
vide four wheel braking. Owners should be aware of
the effectiveness of four wheel braking which greatly
enhances braking performance. Appropriate care
should be exercised during heavy braking.
7. Use extreme caution and avoid hard application
of the tractor brakes when towing heavy loads at road
speeds.
8. Keep the tractor in the same gear when going
downhill as would be used when going uphill. Do not
coast or freewheel down hills.
9. Any towed vehicle whose total weight exceeds
that of the towing tractor must be equipped with
brakes for safe operation.
10. Always disengage the differential lock when
turning. When engaged, the differential lock will pre-
vent the tractor from turning.
11. Always check overhead clearance, especially
when transporting the tractor. Watch where you are
going, especially at row ends, on roads and around
trees and low overhanging obstacles.
12. To avoid overturns, drive the tractor with care
and at safe speeds, especially when operating over
rough ground, when crossing ditches or slopes and
when turning corners.
13. Use extreme caution when operating on steep
slopes.
14. If the tractor becomes stuck or the tyres are fro-
zen to the ground, reverse the tractor out to prevent
overturning.

vii
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
OPERATING THE TRACTOR
1. Before starting the tractor, apply the parking
brake, place the P.T.O. control in the ‘OFF’ position,
the lift control lever in the down position, the remote
control valve levers in the neutral position and the
transmission levers in neutral.
2. Do not start the engine or operate controls (other
than the external hydraulic lift switches) unless you
are sitting in the tractor seat. Always sit in the tractor
seat when starting the engine or operating the con-
trols.
3. Do not bypass the transmission and P.T.O. neu-
tral start switches. Consult your New Holland dealer if
your neutral start controls malfunction. Use jump
leads only in the recommended manner. Improper
use can result in a tractor runaway.
4. Avoid accidental contact with the gear shift lev-
ers while the engine is running as unexpected tractor
movement can result.
5. Do not get off the tractor while it is in motion.
6. If the power steering or engine ceases operating,
stop the tractor immediately as the tractor will be
more difficult to control.
7. Before leaving the tractor, park the tractor on lev-
el ground, apply the parking brake, lower attached
implements to the ground, disengage the P.T.O.and
stop the engine,.
8. Do not park the tractor on a steep incline.
9. The cab is designed to provide the minimum
noise level at the operator’s ears and meets or ex-
ceeds applicable standards in this respect. However,
noise (sound pressure level) in the workplace can ex-
ceed 85 dB(A) when working between buildings or in
confined spaces, with cab windows open. It is recom-
mended that operators wear suitable ear protectors
when operating in high noise level conditions.
10. Do not run the tractor engine in an enclosed
building without adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes
are toxic and can cause death.
11. Pull only from the pick-up hitch, swinging draw-
bar or the lower link drawbar in the lowered position.
Use only a drawbar pin that locks in place. Pulling
from the tractor rear axle or any point above the axle
may cause the tractor to overturn.

viii
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
12. Always select Position Control when attaching or
transporting equipment. Ensure that hydraulic cou-
plers are properly mounted and will disconnect safely
in case of accidental detachment of the implement.
13. If the front end of the tractor tends to rise when
heavy implements are attached to the three--point
hitch, install front end or front wheel weights. Do not
operate the tractor with a light front end.
14. Ensure any attached equipment or accessories
are correctly installed, are approved for use with the
tractor, do not overload the tractor and are operated
and maintained in accordance with the instructions
issued by the equipment or accessory manufacturer.
15. Remember that your tractor, if abused or incor-
rectly used, can be dangerous and become a hazard
both to the operator and to bystanders. Do not over-
load or operate with attached equipment which is un-
safe, not designed for the particular task or is poorly
maintained.
16. Do not leave equipment in the raised position
when the vehicle is stopped or unattended.
17. Do not drive equipment near open fires.
18. Always wear a protective mask when working
with toxic spray chemicals. Follow the directions on
the chemical container.
OPERATING THE P.T.O.
1. When operating P.T.O.- driven equipment,
disengage the P.T.O., shut off the engine and wait
until the P.T.O. stops before getting off the tractor and
disconnecting equipment.
2. Do not wear loose clothing when operating the
power take-off or when near any rotating equipment.
3. When operating stationary P.T.O.-driven equip-
ment, always apply the tractor parking brake and
block the rear wheels front and back.
4. To avoid injury, do not clean, adjust, unblock or
service P.T.O. driven equipment when the tractor en-
gine is running. Ensure that the P.T.O. is switched off.
5. Make sure the P.T.O. guard is in position at all
times and always replace the P.T.O. cap when the
P.T.O. is not in use.

ix
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SERVICING THE TRACTOR
1. The cooling system operates under pressure. Do
not remove the expansion cap while the system is
hot. Always turn the cap slowly to the first stop and
allow the pressure to escape before removing the
cap. Never remove the cap from the top of the radia-
tor unless the expansion tank pressure cap has first
been removed.
2. Keep the tractor and equipment, particularly
brakes and steering, maintained in a reliable and sat-
isfactory condition to ensure your safety and comply
with legal requirements.
3. To prevent fire or explosion, keep open flames
away from battery or cold weather starting aids. To
prevent sparks which could cause explosion, use
jumper cables according to instructions.
4. Do not attempt to service the air conditioning
system. It is possible to be severely frost bitten or in-
jured by escaping refrigerant. Special equipment and
instruments are required to service the air condition-
ing system. See your New Holland dealer for service.
5. Stop the engine before performing any service
on the tractor.
6. Hydraulic fluid and fuel oil in the injection system
operate under high pressure. Escaping hydraulic
fluid or fuel oil under pressure can penetrate the skin
causing serious injury. Unqualified persons should
not remove or attempt to adjust a pump, injector, noz-
zle or any other part of the fuel injection or hydraulic
systems. Failure to follow these instructions can re-
sult in serious injury.
Do not use your hand to check for leaks. Use a
piece of cardboard or paper to search for leaks.
Stop the engine and relieve pressure before con-
necting or disconnecting lines.
Tighten all connections before starting the en-
gine or pressurising lines.
If fluid is injected into the skin obtain medical at-
tention immediately or gangrene may result.
7. Continuous long term contact with used engine
oil may cause skin cancer. Avoid prolonged contact
with used engine oil. Wash skin promptly with soap
and water.
8. Keep equipment clean and properly maintained.
9. Dispose of all drained fluids and removed filters
properly.
10. Tractor wheels are very heavy. Handle with care
and ensure, when stored, that they cannot fall and
cause injury.

x
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DIESEL FUEL
1. Under no circumstances should gasoline, alco-
hol or blended fuels be added to diesel fuel. These
combinations can create an increased fire or explo-
sive hazard. In a closed container such as a fuel tank
these blends are more explosive than pure gasoline.
Do not use these blends.
2. Never remove the fuel cap or refuel with the en-
gine running or hot.
3. Do not smoke while refuelling the tractor or when
standing near fuel. Keep any type of open flame
away.
4. Maintain control of the fuel filler pipe nozzle when
filling the tank.
5. Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Fill only to the
bottom of the filler neck to allow room for expansion.
6. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
7. Always tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
8. If the original fuel tank cap is lost, replace it with a
New Holland approved cap.
9. Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.
10. Arrange fuel purchases so that summer grade
fuels are not held over and used in the winter.
SAFETY CAB OR FRAME (where fitted)
Your tractor is equipped with a safety cab or ROPS
frame (Roll Over Protection System) which must be
maintained in a serviceable condition. Be careful
when driving through doorways or working in con-
fined spaces with low headroom.
1. Do not modify, drill, weld or alter the safety cab or
frame in any way. Doing so could render you liable to
legal prosecution in some countries.
2. Never attempt to straighten or weld any part of
the main frame or retaining brackets which have suf-
fered damage. By doing so you may weaken the
structure and endanger your safety.
3. Do not secure any parts on the main frame or at-
tach your safety cab or frame with other than the spe-
cial high tensile bolts and nuts specified.
4. Never attach chains or ropes to the cab or main
frame for pulling purposes.
5. Never take unnecessary risks even though your
safety cab or frame affords you the maximum protec-
tion possible.
