The New Holland NH-480s, also known as Fiat 480, is a versatile tractor celebrated across Pakistan for its durability, efficiency, and value. With a classic 55 horsepower output and a rugged build, it’s perfectly suited to small-to-medium farms handling a variety of tasks—from tillage and seeding to haulage and field spraying.
Powertrain & Performance
At its core is the FPT Industrial 8035.06 3-cylinder diesel engine equipped with direct injection, delivering 55 HP at 2500 rpm and about 22.7 kg-m (~223 Nm) torque at 1500 rpm—providing ample pulling power for heavy implements and field operations.
Cooling, Lubrication & Filters
The engine uses a water-cooled system with a four-row brass tube and copper fin radiator for efficient heat dissipation. Maintenance-friendly features include an oil-bath air cleaner with pre-cleaner, replaceable fuel filters, and continuous-flow oil filters—all designed for extended service life.
Transmission & PTO
Drive power is transferred via an 8 forward + 2 reverse constant-mesh gearbox, with synchromesh on 3rd, 4th, 7th, and 8th gears. The fully independent 540 rpm PTO delivers reliable performance across all farming implements.
Hydraulics & Hitch
The tractor’s Category I–II 3-point linkage uses a gear-type pump, with draft and position control. The hydraulic lifting capacity is rated up to 1540 kg, allowing efficient use of a wide range of implements.
Chassis & Structural Features
With an operating weight of 1,710 kg, the NH-480s is manageable yet stable. It sports a dual-plate dry clutch, manual “recirculation ball” steering with lubricated joints, and a fully upholstered seat with parallelogram suspension to enhance operator comfort.
Utility & Options
The tractor includes practical features like a 54 L fuel tank, easy-access front grill for maintenance, and optional power steering, front weights, PTO pulley, sunroof canopy, and high-clearance kits—making it adaptable to a variety of farm conditions.
