Part of the New Holland Operator Manuals.
Within the hour you could be setting the electronic draft control before the drill goes in, with this 330-page New Holland 8360 operator manual PDF (OEM 86593406) open beside you; it covers all four models in the series, 8160 through 8560. Fault-finding charts sort engine, hydraulic, brake, and 3-point linkage symptoms by cause and remedy, with separate tables for the mechanical, Hi Lo, and Semi-Powershift transmissions. Service schedules fill a solid chunk of the book, running from the 10-hour daily checks through the 1800-hour service, plus the routines to follow when a warning light illuminates. Set inlet valve clearance between 0.36 and 0.46 mm, and torque the axle extension bolts to 410 Nm after adjusting rear wheel track. Nobody wants a mystery dash light with rain coming. Bookmarks and a live text layer put the right chart on your screen in seconds.

New Holland 8160, 8260, 8360, 8560 Common Problems This Manual Covers
New Holland 8560 transmission pressure warning light flickers during shuttle or range shifts under load
Check the transmission oil level on the dipstick with the tractor parked level and engine off. Remote cylinders draw from the rear axle reservoir, so top up after connecting large cylinders, but never add more than 4 litres (7 Imp. pt.) above the FULL mark, per page 154. Then work through the transmission fault charts starting on page 267.
Manual Section: Transmission - Semi-Powershift FaultsEngine starts then dies after a few minutes, especially in cold weather
Drain water from the fuel filter sediment bowl, then bleed air from the system with the hand primer before restarting. Replace both fuel filters at the interval in the maintenance schedule; the small factory filters plug fast with gelled fuel. Keep the 220 litre tank topped up in cold weather to limit condensation, per page 314.
Manual Section: Engine Faults p. 268Remote hydraulics slow and oil running hot during loader or baler work
Check the rear axle oil level first; remote cylinders and loader work can pull the reservoir low. Watch the temperature gauge and stop if the oil passes 110°C (230°F), the maximum recommended operating temperature on page 157. If flow stays weak with level and temperature correct, follow the hydraulics fault chart in the Fault Finding section from page 267.
Manual Section: Hydraulics FaultsElectronic instrument panel flickers or gauges read erratic after washing or damp weather
Inspect the battery terminals and the harness connectors behind the instrument console for corrosion and loose pins; clean them and coat with dielectric grease. Check the ground straps between engine, chassis, and cab. Add a terminal check to every 300 hour service in the maintenance chart, and use the electrical fault chart from page 267.
Manual Section: Electrical System FaultsBrake pedal feels spongy or tractor pulls to one side when stopping with a loaded trailer
Check the rear axle oil level at each 10 hour daily service listed; the wet brakes run in this oil. Latch both brake pedals together before any road travel with a trailer. If the pedal stays spongy or travel feels excessive, work through the brakes fault chart from page 267.
Manual Section: Brakes FaultsFrequently Asked Questions
What are the torque specs for the front disc to hub bolts on a two wheel drive New Holland 8160, 8260, 8360, 8560?
For two-wheel drive models, the torque specification for the front disc to hub bolts is 300 Nm (220 lbf. ft.). p. 224
What is the procedure for bleeding the fuel injection system?
To bleed the system, ensure the tractor has adequate fuel and a charged battery. Crack open the nuts on the high-pressure lines to each injector, crank the engine on the starter motor to expel air, and tighten the nuts as the engine begins to fire. p. 250
How often should the engine oil and filter be changed?
The normal engine oil and filter change period is every 300 hours of operation. However, this interval should be reduced to 150 hours if operating in temperatures below -12° C (10° F) or in arduous conditions. p. 225
What is the correct valve clearance for the New Holland 8160, 8260, 8360, 8560 engine?
The valve clearance should be checked with the engine cold. The inlet valve clearance is 0.014 - 0.018 in. (0.36 - 0.46 mm) and the exhaust valve clearance is 0.017 - 0.021 in. (0.43 - 0.53 mm). p. 236
What is the engine oil capacity including the filter?
The engine oil capacity, including the filter, is 19 litres (33.4 Imp. pints). p. 226
