Ford New Holland 9884 Tractor Parts

9884 parts and accessories

The Ford New Holland 9884, manufactured from 1985-1989, was a powerful articulated four-wheel drive tractor popular for its robust performance in demanding agricultural tasks. Powered by a Cummins NTA-855 diesel engine producing around 350 horsepower, this tractor delivered substantial pulling power. With a PTO horsepower of approximately 290, the 9884 quickly became a favorite among farmers needing a reliable workhorse for tillage and other heavy-duty applications.

The Ford New Holland 9884 was introduced in 1985 and remained in production until 1989, filling a need for high-horsepower, four-wheel drive tractors. Its robust construction and powerful engine made it a staple on many farms. At its heart lies a Cummins NTA-855 diesel engine, a six-cylinder powerhouse boasting 855 cubic inches of displacement and delivering approximately 350 horsepower. This engine provided exceptional torque and reliability. The transmission is a 12-speed forward, 3-speed reverse, partical powershift, offering a wide range of speeds for various field operations. The PTO delivers around 290 horsepower, and is available in both 540 and 1000 RPM configurations. Hydraulic capacity is approximately 30 GPM, supporting multiple remote valves for implements. The 9884 features a Category III 3-point hitch, offering substantial lift capacity for heavy implements. Commonly used for primary tillage, planting, and large-scale row crop operations, the 9884 distinguishes itself from smaller Ford New Holland models with its articulated steering, larger engine, and increased overall capacity. It was a step up in power and capability compared to the smaller two-wheel drive models of the era.

Maintenance Tips

Engine Oil & Filter: Change engine oil and filter every 250 hours using the recommended oil type (typically 15W-40) to maintain optimal engine performance and longevity. Regularly inspect oil levels.
Hydraulic System: Check hydraulic fluid levels and inspect for leaks regularly. Change hydraulic fluid and filters every 500 hours or as recommended by the manufacturer to prevent contamination and ensure smooth operation of hydraulic components.
Fuel System: Use clean, high-quality diesel fuel and regularly inspect the fuel filters. Drain water from the fuel tank to prevent fuel line clogging and injector damage. Consider using a fuel additive, especially during colder months.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing the tractor for the off-season, completely fill the fuel tank to prevent condensation. Disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Grease all lubrication points and cover the tractor to protect it from the elements.
