Ford New Holland TR98 Combine Parts

TR98 parts and accessories

The Ford New Holland TR98 combine, produced from the late 1990s into the early 2000s, offered farmers a reliable and productive harvesting solution. These combines were known for their durable construction and efficient rotary separation system. Typically powered by engines around 275 HP, they could accommodate header widths up to 30 feet, making them a versatile choice for various grain harvesting operations.

The Ford New Holland TR98 represents a pivotal era in combine technology, building upon the success of the earlier TR series. Manufactured from approximately 1997 to 2002, the TR98 features a robust engine, commonly a Cummins M11 series diesel engine, delivering around 275 horsepower with a displacement around 661 cubic inches (10.8 liters). The heart of the TR98 lies in its Twin Rotor separator system, providing efficient grain separation and reduced grain loss compared to conventional cylinder combines. The grain tank boasts a capacity of approximately 300 bushels, complemented by an unloading auger capable of discharging grain at a rate of around 2.5 bushels per second (150 bu/min). TR98 combines could handle various header widths, typically ranging from 20 to 30 feet, enabling them to efficiently harvest various crops. Options included straw choppers and spreaders for residue management. The cab offered improved operator comfort and visibility. The TR98 was particularly well-suited for harvesting wheat, corn, and soybeans, delivering high throughput and clean grain samples.

Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust concave clearance to optimize threshing efficiency and minimize grain damage, especially when switching between different crop types.
Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect all belts and chains for proper tension and wear. Loose or worn belts and chains can lead to reduced performance and potential breakdowns.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean the sieves and chaffers regularly to prevent plugging and ensure proper grain cleaning. Adjust the sieve settings based on the crop being harvested.
Bearing Greasing: Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for greasing all bearings. Proper lubrication is crucial for preventing premature bearing failure and extending the lifespan of critical components.
