Ford New Holland TK90MA Tractor Parts
TK90MA parts and accessories
The Ford New Holland TK90MA was a popular narrow tractor model manufactured between 1996 and 2000. Powered by a reliable 82 HP Iveco 8045.05 diesel engine and offering around 75 PTO horsepower, the TK90MA was valued for its compact size and maneuverability in orchards, vineyards, and other confined spaces. Its robust design made it a dependable workhorse for various farming tasks.
The Ford New Holland TK90MA was introduced as part of the TK series, specifically designed for specialty applications where a narrow tractor was essential. Production spanned from 1996 to 2000. Its Iveco 8045.05 engine, a 4.0L (4000 cc, 244.1 cu-in) four-cylinder diesel, provided 82 engine horsepower. The transmission was typically a mechanical gear type offering multiple speeds forward and reverse for optimal control. The power take-off (PTO) delivered approximately 75 horsepower at 540 RPM. Hydraulic capacity was sufficient for operating implements like sprayers and cultivators, and it featured two or more remote valves. The 3-point hitch was typically a Category II, capable of lifting several thousand pounds. Common applications included orchard and vineyard work, row crop cultivation in tight spaces, and hay operations on smaller farms. What set the TK90MA apart was its narrow width, allowing it to navigate between rows of crops without damage, a significant advantage over larger, standard-sized tractors. Its reliable engine and durable construction further contributed to its popularity.

Maintenance Tips
- Change engine oil and filter every 250 hours of operation using appropriate heavy-duty diesel engine oil (e.g., 15W-40) that meets API CH-4 or higher specifications. Always use a quality oil filter.
- Inspect and service the hydraulic system regularly, including checking fluid levels, changing hydraulic filters (typically every 500 hours), and looking for leaks. Maintaining clean hydraulic fluid is crucial for system performance.
- Periodically drain and clean the fuel tank to remove sediment and water. Use a fuel conditioner to prevent algae growth, especially during storage. Replace fuel filters as recommended in the operator's manual.
- Before storing the tractor for an extended period, stabilize the fuel, grease all lubrication points, and disconnect the battery. Store it in a dry location to prevent rust and corrosion.
