Part of the New Holland Operator Manuals.
Printed by New Holland under part number 87033610, this 260-page operator manual covers the TJ series tractors, six variants from the TJ 275 to the TJ 500. Field work takes up the largest share of this New Holland TJ 275, TJ 325, TJ 375, TJ 425, TJ 450, TJ 500 operator manual PDF: PTO operation, drawbar and three-point hitch setup, remote hydraulics, and ballast. The warning displays on the ROPS post cluster are sorted by severity, and the operating chapters walk you through powershift and 24-speed transmission use, differential lock, cold starts and the first 50-hour service. Fill the TJ 275 with 24.0 liters (6.3 gal) of engine oil and the TJ 375 through 500 with 49.0 liters (13.0 gal); wheel-to-hub bolts take 390 to 420 lb ft. Every day it sits is field time lost. Bookmarked chapters and a text-searchable PDF take you to the right page fast, so your TJ is pulling in the field again.

New Holland TJ 275 to TJ 500 Common Problems This Manual Covers
New Holland TJ series ENG H20 TEMP warning with continuous alarm and flashing STOP ENGINE indicator
Stop the engine immediately when ENG H20 TEMP comes up; page 71 lists it as a critical fault. Check coolant level and inspect the radiator for blockage or other cause before you restart. After you correct the fault, press RESET on the Programmable Display to clear it. With the optional Performance Monitor, the tractor shuts itself down 30 seconds after the fault displays.
Manual Section: Critical Warning Displays p. 71ENG OIL PRES low engine oil pressure warning on programmable display monitor with STOP ENGINE flashing
Shut the engine off right away. Page 71 treats ENG OIL PRES as a critical fault, and RESET will not silence it while the cause is still there. Check the engine oil level first, with the dipstick pushed completely down (page 185), then look for another cause. Oil capacity on page 175 differs by model, so confirm the figure for your tractor before filling. Clear the fault with RESET once it is fixed.
Manual Section: Critical Warning Displays p. 71HYDRL OIL TEMP or TRANS OIL TEMP warning appearing on the programmable display during field work
Shut the engine off immediately on the critical HYDRL OIL TEMP display, check the hydraulic oil level and check for a blocked cooler, following page 71. For a critical TRANS OIL TEMP display, also shut the engine off immediately and check for a blocked cooler or other cause. If the approaching critical version shows instead (page 72), check for a blocked air cooler, and if the warning persists, contact your dealer.
Manual Section: Critical Warning Displays p. 71HITCH OFF LINE or TRANS OFF LINE message on display with hitch or transmission controls inoperative
Check fuses #36 and #41 for HITCH OFF LINE, or fuses #36 and #39 for TRANS OFF LINE, and replace them if needed, following page 71. AUX OFF LINE points to fuses #36 and #40. Do not run the tractor with the fuse/relay cover removed, because page 60 warns that this causes damage. If the condition persists with good fuses, contact your dealer.
Manual Section: Non-Critical Warning Displays p. 71LOW BATTERY warning below 11 volts with discharged battery showing no voltage across terminals
Check the alternator belt and battery water level (battery acid causes severe burns, so avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing, page 204), then test the battery, as page 74 directs. If a battery is discharged, disconnect the negative cable and put a voltmeter across the terminals (page 230). No voltage means the battery has an internal open circuit, so replace it. Never connect a charger or auxiliary battery to it, because a spark can make it explode. Charge batteries only in a well ventilated area, and never charge a frozen one.
Manual Section: Battery Troubleshooting p. 230TURN PTO OFF, AUX NEUTRAL or HITCH CAPTURE warning appearing on the display at startup
Move the PTO switch to OFF, return the remote hydraulic levers to neutral, and set the hitch position control to match the actual hitch position, following page 73. RESET will not clear these warnings. Before you start the engine, verify that all operating controls are in neutral or park lock (page 85). A HITCH SETUP or AUX SETUP message means the system needs calibration, so contact your dealer.
Manual Section: Diagnostic Warning Displays p. 73Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reset fault codes on a New Holland TJ tractor?
To reset warning faults, press the RESET button on the programmable display. Note that some critical faults cannot be reset by the button and require the engine to be shut off and the cause of the problem to be corrected. p. 71
What is the torque for the wheel weight bolts on a New Holland TJ tractor?
Wheel weight M16 Grade 10.9 bolts and nuts are torqued to 270 to 350 Nm (200-260 ft lb). p. 154
What is the engine oil capacity for a New Holland TJ 375, TJ 425, TJ 450, or TJ 500 tractor?
The engine oil capacity with filter for the TJ 375, TJ 425, TJ 450, and TJ 500 models is 13.0 gallons (49.0 liters). p. 175
How often should the engine oil and filter be changed on a New Holland TJ tractor?
The engine oil and filter should be changed every 500 hours, or once a year, or before storage, whichever occurs first. If CH-4 oil is not used, the interval must be reduced to 250 hours or less (page 176). p. 197
What is the correct coolant mixture for the cooling system?
The cooling system requires a 50-50 mixture of water and ethylene glycol. You must check the concentration level using a refractometer; do not use a floating ball hydrometer. p. 177
What do I get after purchasing this New Holland TJ 275 manual?
Delivery is instant: a 260-page searchable PDF is yours the second checkout clears. Laptop, tablet, or phone, all fine.
Can I print a copy of this New Holland TJ 275 Operator Manual for the shop?
