High-Capacity Drawbar
A high-capacity drawbar option is available for applications where
heavy drawbar loads are expected. The high-capacity drawbar should
be used for applications like front folding planters, liquid manure
wagons, and large grain carts. Three swing positions, one on each
side of center, are obtainable by moving bolts which extend up
through the drawbar hanger on both sides of the drawbar. Six
drawbar mounting positions are available just like on the standard
drawbar. The high-capacity drawbar allows equal angle hitching
when necessary. The high-capacity drawbar has a vertical tongue
load rating of 4990 kg (11,000 lbs). The “auto pin” clevis is standard.

The Power of Technology
CAN Systems Put the Latest Technology to Work for You
New Holland service professionals use an Electronic Service Tool
(EST) to service New Holland tractors. The latest New Holland
tractors are equipped with a Controller Area Network (CAN),
that allows all the tractor systems to communicate on one
network. No longer is your New Holland service technician tied
to the shop. The EST makes in-field diagnosis easy.
n Provide Information to the Operator
n Improve Tractor Operation
n Enhance Tractor Performance
n Prevent System Failures
n Provide Quick and Accurate Troubleshooting
Service technicians connect the Electronic Service Tool into the tractors CAN system to communicate using the
CAN network. Fault based diagnostics are used to quickly identify problems. Detailed photographs, diagrams and
component locators on the EST screen provide complete information about related wiring and connectors. Repairs
can be made quickly, assuring maximum productivity. In addition to service diagnostics, the EST can be used to
download new software to upgrade the functions performed by the controller networks. It can also be used to change
the default transmission gears.
Consider several examples of how controllers and other devices within the CAN work together. As the tractor moves
through the field, the controllers in the CAN system continually check a variety of inputs:
n Operator Commands
n Engine Torque
n Gear Selection
n Tractor Speed
n Wheel Slip
n Hitch Position
As conditions vary, this information is used by the system to adjust engine power to the transmission. The
transmission responds to commands from the operator to complete functions that previously required individual
actions by the operator. Therefore, the operator’s time is available to make corrections in the field. As the operator
moves the hand throttle lever or signals other operations, the tractor identifies the change and sends the new
command to the required systems via the CAN system. New Holland tractors are designed as a platform for evolving
technology to provide more usable information.

New Holland EZ-Guide® Plus Lightbar
The new EZ-Guide Plus is the second generation of lightbar to be offered by New Holland. It is also the first lightbar
in the industry to combine easy-to-read guidance LED’s with a graphical LCD screen, and a high-end GPS receiver
all in one unit. The LED’s display how far to the left or right of center you are, making it easy to follow your swath
guidance, while the added LCD screen displays your vehicle orientation, to help you follow contours easier. By
combining LED guidance with a graphical display, you get the best of both worlds to help you stay on track.
The EZ-Guide Plus is not only easy to learn but it can be installed in any vehicle in minutes. Use it in any field
application that requires parallel swaths including field preparation, chemical or fertilizer applications, and air seeding
applications. Tough working conditions are no problem either—the system works consistently day or night, in wind,
rain, dust or fog with no deterioration in performance. Lightbar guidance technology can help you accomplish more by
extending your hours of operation, making each working day more productive. You can improve your coverage, while
reducing your cost of chemicals, fertilizers, fuel and other input materials, by eliminating costly skips and overlaps. The
EZ-Guide Plus is not just a lightbar, it’s also a fully functioning GPS receiver. The system outputs “NMEA” position
data that enables it to feed position data to other GPS-enabled equipment such as yield monitors, variable rate planters
and field computers. See your New Holland specialist about making this technology work in your operation.

Tall, wide, soft radial tires provide:
• The best traction.
• The best ride.
• The least amount of maintenance required to control a powerhop condition.
Definitions
Rolling Circumference - Rolling circumference is the distance a tire travels in one revolution
Interaxle Ratio - A FWD tractor uses both the front and rear tires to do the work. Since the front tires are smaller
than the rear tires, the front tires must rotate faster to travel the same distance as the rear. The mechanical gear
combination used to allow the front axle to move the tires at a faster speed is referred to as the interaxle ratio. The
tractor manufacturer establishes the interaxle ratio.

Front suitcase weights can be mounted on the front of
the tractor with a weight hanger. A maximum of 18
suitcase weights at 45 kg (100 lb) each can be installed,
depending on the application, tractor static weight ratio
and soil conditions.
Rear Frame Weights
Suitcase weights can also be mounted on the rear of the
tractor with a weight frame. However, rear suitcase
weights cannot be used if the tractor is equipped with a
three point hitch.
A maximum of 10 suitcase weights (TJ 275-325) or
14 suitcase weights (TJ375-500) at 45 kg (100 lb) each
can be installed depending on implement application,
front mounted equipment, tractor static weight split and
soil conditions.
Assembly weight:
Weight frame = 468 kg (1032 lb)
Frame + 14 suitcase weights = 1166 kg (2571 lb)
The entire weight assembly can be removed from the
tractor by removing 2 bolts and attaching an overhead
hoist to the rear holes on each side of the lifting bracket.

TG Tractor—Tire Load and Inflation
The inflation pressures are based on cold inflation pressure recommended by the Tire and Rim
Association Inc.
How to Use the Load and Inflation Charts:
1. Determine the ballasted tractor front axle weight and tractor rear axle weight.
Note: If using fully mounted or high vertical drawbar implements, add the weight of the implement
to the rear weight (refer to implement manual for weight).
2. Find the appropriate chart (Front Singles or Duals, Rear Singles, Duals or Triples).
3. Find tire size and correct rating.
4. Follow the row across to the first weight that is above your tractor (front or rear) axle weight.
5. Follow the column up to find the minimum recommended tire inflation pressure.
Note: Never exceed the load capacity for a particular tire. To obtain more load capacity, use duals
or change to a different tire.
Note: Never exceed the inflation pressure for a particular tire. The last number in the chart is the
maximum inflation pressure for that particular tire.
Note: Increase tire pressures 2 to 4 PSI over those stated in the chart for any of the following
conditions:
• If tire pressures are not checked daily
• Sharp turning and or braking will be encountered
• In-Furrow operation (Furrow tire only)
• Side hill operation

Front Weight of Tractor = 14,000 lb (6350 kg)
Rear Weight of Tractor = 9392 lb (4260 kg)
Total Weight of Tractor = 23,392 lb (10610 kg)
3)
Determine weight distribution by dividing front and rear weight by total weight.
Tractor Weight Distribution = 59.8% Front Axle
40.2% Rear Axle
4)
Adjust the weight distribution by adding 2000 lb (907 kg) weight to the rear wheels.
Adjusted Weight:
Front weight = 14,000 lb (6350 kg)
Rear weight = 11,392 lb (5167 kg)
Total weight = 25,392 lb (11 517 kg)
Total weight distribution = 55.1% Front Axle
44.9% Rear Axle
5)
Front Static Load - weight divided by number of tires.
14,000 lb/4 = 3500 lb
(6350 kg/4 = 1588 kg)
Front Chart: 18.4R-42 Dual Tires - 3500 lb = 9 PSI
(1588 kg = 62 kPa)
Rear Static Load - weight divided by number of tires.
11,392 lb/4 = 2848 lb
(5167 kg/4 = 1292 kg)
From Chart = 18.4R-42 Dual Tires - 2848 lb = 7 PSI
(1292 kg = 48 kPa)

INSTRUMENTATION
A key to efficient tractor operation is knowing what your tractor is doing and understanding what’s going on
internally. The most effective tool for accomplishing this is the tractor’s own instrumentation.
1. Tractor Monitor (Standard)
The Tractor Monitor displays basic tractor operations and
provides an interface for configuration and calibration.
• Engine Oil Pressure
• Engine Coolant Temperature
• Fuel Level
• Operation Indicators (gear, direction, etc.)
• Warning Indicators
