Tc5060 parts and accessories

The Ford New Holland TC5060 combine, produced in the early 2000s and beyond, was a popular choice for farmers needing a reliable and efficient machine. Typically equipped with around a 175-horsepower engine, it offered header widths ranging from 15 to 25 feet. Its conventional threshing system, known for its gentle grain handling, made it a favorite for harvesting a variety of crops.

The Ford New Holland TC5060 combine harvester was introduced as part of the TC5000 series, building upon the legacy of New Holland's conventional combines. Production spanned from the early 2000s well into the 2010s. Powering the TC5060 is typically a FPT (Fiat Powertrain Technologies) engine, often a 6.7-liter diesel rated around 175 horsepower. The threshing system utilizes a conventional cylinder with multiple rasp bars and a large concave area, providing effective grain separation. Grain tank capacity is approximately 200 bushels, with an unloading auger capable of emptying the tank at a rate of roughly 50-60 bushels per minute. Available header widths varied, typically ranging from 15 to 25 feet, accommodating various crop types and field sizes. Options included a straw chopper or spreader for residue management. The cab offered enhanced operator comfort, including air conditioning and adjustable controls, contributing to increased productivity. The TC5060 excelled at harvesting wheat, soybeans, barley, and other small grains, known for its ability to deliver clean grain samples.

Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust the concave clearance based on the crop being harvested. Proper adjustment minimizes grain loss and damage.
Belt and Chain Tension: Check and maintain proper tension on all belts and chains. Loose belts and chains can cause slippage, leading to reduced performance and premature wear.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean the sieves and chaffers regularly to ensure optimal airflow and grain separation. Clogged sieves can result in grain loss and reduced harvest efficiency.
Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Proper lubrication prevents premature bearing failure and extends the life of the combine.
