The Ford New Holland 8100 was introduced in 1988 as part of the updated 10 Series lineup, replacing earlier models and incorporating advancements in tractor technology. Production continued until 1991. The heart of the 8100 is the Ford 401 cubic inch (6.6L) 6-cylinder diesel engine, delivering approximately 125 engine horsepower. This translates to a PTO horsepower of around 105. Transmission options typically included a 12-speed forward, 4-speed reverse synchronized transmission. The PTO system offered both 540 and 1000 RPM options, providing versatility for different implements. Hydraulic capacity was robust, typically around 20 GPM, with multiple remote valves available for operating hydraulic implements. The 3-point hitch was a Category II, offering a lift capacity of approximately 6,800 lbs. Farmers frequently used the 8100 for row crop operations, hay production, livestock management, and various tillage tasks. Compared to other tractors in the Ford New Holland lineup, the 8100 offered a balance of power and maneuverability, making it a versatile choice for medium-sized farms. It slotted between the smaller models like the 7710 and the larger, more powerful options like the 8730.
