Ford New Holland L85 Tractor Parts

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. Production continued until 1999. The L85 is powered by an Iveco 8045.05 diesel engine, producing approximately 75 horsepower. The engine displacement is 268 cubic inches (4.4 liters). It featured a reliable mechanical fuel injection system. The standard transmission was a fully synchronized 12-speed forward and 12-speed reverse transmission, providing a wide range of gear options for various field conditions. 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. The 3-point hitch was a Category II hitch, capable of lifting around 5,000 lbs. 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.
