Its user-friendly design and dependability made it a staple on many farms.
The Ford New Holland L85 tractor was introduced in 1994 as part of the L Series, replacing earlier models and offering improvements in performance and operator comfort.

The independent PTO delivered around 65 PTO horsepower and offered both 540 RPM and 1000 RPM options. The hydraulic system had a capacity of approximately 14.5 GPM, with two standard remote valves.

Common applications for the L85 included haying operations (mowing, baling), livestock handling, tillage, and general farm work. It distinguished itself from smaller models in the lineup through its increased power and heavier build, making it suitable for more demanding tasks, while offering better value than larger framed tractors.
