Tx32 parts and accessories

The Ford New Holland Tx32 combine, manufactured in the late 1980s and early 1990s, offered a blend of performance and reliability for grain farmers. Powered by a robust diesel engine producing around 150 horsepower, the Tx32 was capable of handling a variety of crops. With header widths ranging from 13 to 20 feet and a conventional separator, this model became a popular choice for its efficient threshing and cleaning capabilities.

The Ford New Holland Tx32 was a popular combine harvester produced during the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was designed to offer a balance of affordability and performance for small to medium-sized farms. The Tx32 typically featured a Ford or Iveco diesel engine, producing approximately 150 horsepower with a displacement of around 6.6 liters. Its conventional separator system, using a cylinder and concave, provided effective threshing and separation of grain. The grain tank capacity was approximately 150 bushels, and it had an unloading auger speed of around 40 bushels per minute. Available header widths ranged from 13 to 20 feet, allowing it to efficiently harvest various crops like wheat, corn, and soybeans. Chopper and spreader options were also available. The cab offered basic operator comfort and controls, focusing on functionality.

Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust the concave clearance to ensure proper threshing without excessive grain damage. Refer to the operator's manual for recommended settings based on the crop being harvested.
Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect all belts and chains for proper tension and wear. Loose belts can cause slippage and reduced performance, while worn chains can break and cause downtime.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Regularly clean the sieves and chaffer to remove debris and ensure proper airflow for effective grain cleaning. Clogged sieves can lead to grain loss over the back.
Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommended schedule. Proper lubrication prevents premature bearing failure and extends the life of critical components.
