New Holland T6030 - User Manual

This document is an Operator's Manual for New Holland Delta and Plus Tractors, specifically models T6010, T6020, T6030, T6050, and T6070. It provides comprehensive information for the safe and efficient operation and maintenance of these agricultural tractors.

Function Description

The New Holland Delta and Plus Tractors are designed for a wide range of agricultural applications. They are equipped with sophisticated electronic controls and various transmission options, including Synchro Command (12 x 12), Dual Command (24 x 24), and Electro Command (16 x 16). These tractors feature a robust engine, driveline, hydraulic system, and power take-off (PTO) capabilities, both rear and front, to power various implements. The three-point linkage system, quick hitch, and linkage stabilisers facilitate the attachment and control of implements. Remote control valves, including electro-hydraulic options, provide flexibility for operating hydraulic attachments. The tractors are also equipped with braking systems, including hydraulic and air-operated trailer brakes, to ensure safety when towing. Four-wheel drive (4WD) functionality enhances traction and braking performance, especially in challenging terrain.

Usage Features

The manual guides operators through the proper procedures for running-in, driving, and operating the tractor. It emphasizes safety precautions, starting with the importance of reading the manual thoroughly and ensuring only properly trained and qualified persons operate the tractor. When starting, the operator must be seated, apply the parking brake, place the PTO control in 'OFF', the lift control lever in the down position, and all transmission and remote control levers in neutral. The manual warns against bypassing neutral start switches and improper use of jump leads, which could lead to a tractor runaway.

Driving the tractor requires consideration for other road users, using a rotating beacon and/or Slow Moving Vehicle warning on public roads, and dipping lights at night. Operators are advised to reduce speed before turning or braking, and to apply both footbrakes simultaneously for emergency stops, ensuring they are locked together for road travel to activate trailer brakes and 4WD braking. The manual stresses maintaining the same gear when going downhill as when going uphill to avoid coasting. The differential lock should never be applied when turning. Operators must always check overhead clearance and drive carefully over rough ground, ditches, slopes, and when turning corners to prevent overturns. Extreme caution is advised on steep slopes, and if the tractor gets stuck or tires are frozen, reversing out is recommended to prevent overturning.

For PTO operation, the engine must be shut off, the PTO switched off, and the PTO allowed to stop completely before getting off the tractor or disconnecting equipment. Loose clothing should be avoided near rotating equipment. When operating stationary PTO-driven equipment, the parking brake must be applied, and rear wheels blocked. Cleaning, adjusting, or servicing PTO-driven equipment should only be done when the tractor engine is off and the PTO is switched off. The PTO guard must always be in position, and the PTO cap replaced when not in use.

The manual also covers the use of position control for attaching and transporting equipment, ensuring hydraulic couplers are properly mounted. For heavy implements, front-end or front-wheel weights should be installed to prevent the front end from rising. The clutch should be engaged slowly when driving out of ditches or up steep hillsides, and disengaged promptly if front wheels rise. Attached equipment and accessories must be correctly installed, approved for use, not overload the tractor, and maintained according to manufacturer instructions. Toxic spray chemicals require a protective mask, following chemical container directions.

Maintenance Features

The manual outlines a detailed maintenance schedule, including 10-hour/daily, 50-hour, 100-hour, 300-hour, 600-hour, 1200-hour/12 month, 1200-hour/24 month, 1800-hour, and every 3 years services, as well as general maintenance as required. It includes a lubrication and maintenance chart and specific instructions for servicing when warning lights illuminate.

Key maintenance safety points include:

Unqualified persons should not attempt to adjust fuel injection or hydraulic systems due to the risk of serious injury.
Hands should not be used to check for leaks; cardboard or paper should be used instead.
The engine must be stopped, and pressure relieved before connecting or disconnecting lines.
All connections must be tightened before starting the engine or pressurizing lines.
If fluid is injected into the skin, immediate medical attention is required.
The cooling system operates under pressure; the expansion tank cap should be turned slowly to the first stop to release pressure before removing it entirely, and never removed from a hot system.
Smoking and open flames are prohibited during refueling.
The tractor and equipment, especially brakes and steering, must be maintained in reliable condition.
Open flames should be kept away from the battery and cold weather starting aids to prevent fire or explosion. Jumper cables must be used according to instructions.
Servicing the air conditioning system should only be done by authorized dealers due to the risk of frostbite from escaping refrigerant.
The engine must be stopped before performing any service.
Prolonged contact with used engine oil should be avoided, and skin washed promptly with soap and water.
Equipment must be kept clean and properly maintained.
Drained fluids and removed filters must be disposed of properly.
Tractor wheels are heavy and must be handled and stored carefully to prevent injury.

The manual also provides guidance on fault finding for the engine, transmission, hydraulics, three-point lift, brakes, cab, and electrical system. It includes information on vehicle storage and accessories such as engine coolant immersion heater, transmission oil heater, 40 Amp socket and cable, auxiliary headlights, battery isolator switch, and loader subframe and control valve (joystick).

For fuel, the manual strictly prohibits adding gasoline, alcohol, or blended fuels to diesel fuel due to fire and explosive hazards. The fuel cap should never be removed, or the tractor refueled with the engine running or hot. Smoking near fuel is forbidden. The fuel tank should not be filled to capacity to allow for expansion, and spilled fuel must be wiped up immediately. The fuel tank cap must be securely tightened, and a lost cap replaced with an approved one. Fuel should not be used for cleaning.

The Operator Protective Structure (ROPS/FOPS) is a critical safety component. The manual states that no devices should be attached to it for pulling, and no holes should be drilled. Any damage, fire, corrosion, or modification will weaken the structure, and it MUST be replaced if compromised. After an accident, fire, tip, or roll-over, a qualified technician must inspect and replace the Protective Structure, mounting/suspension, operator seat, seat belts, and wiring within the protective system. Welding, drilling holes, attempting to straighten, or repairing the Protective Structure is strictly prohibited as it can reduce structural integrity and lead to serious injury or death.
