Ford New Holland TM135 Tractor Parts
TM135 parts and accessories
The Ford New Holland TM135 tractor, manufactured from 1998 to 2003, was a popular choice for farmers needing a reliable workhorse. Powered by a robust 135 horsepower diesel engine, it provided ample power for various agricultural tasks. With a PTO horsepower rating suited for demanding implements, the TM135 gained a reputation for its versatility and dependable performance.
The Ford New Holland TM135 was part of the TM series, introduced to update and improve upon the earlier models. Production ran from 1998 to 2003. At its heart is a 7.5L (456 ci) New Holland diesel engine producing approximately 135 horsepower. This six-cylinder engine offered excellent torque for pulling heavy loads. The TM135 typically featured a partial powershift transmission with 18 forward and 6 reverse speeds providing a range of options for various field conditions. The power take-off (PTO) delivers around 115 HP and offered both 540 and 1000 RPM options to accommodate a wide array of implements. The hydraulic system has a capacity of around 22 GPM, and offers typically three remote valves. It's equipped with a Category II 3-point hitch, capable of lifting approximately 8,800 lbs. Commonly used in row crop operations, hay production, livestock farming, and general tillage, the TM135 distinguished itself with a combination of power, comfort (for its time), and advanced features like electronic draft control, placing it above smaller utility tractors but below the larger, more specialized models in the Ford New Holland lineup.
