The Ford 8160, 8260, 8360, and 8560 tractors are part of the Ford/New Holland 60 Series introduced in the mid to late 1990s. Designed for heavy-duty farming and row-crop operations, these tractors were built on the New Holland Genesis platform and equipped with robust 6-cylinder diesel engines ranging from approximately 110 hp in the 8160 to over 160 hp in the 8560. With powerful drivetrains, versatile hydraulics, and modern cab features, the 60 Series offered both productivity and operator comfort for demanding agricultural work.

The 8160, 8260, and 8360 share many features with the flagship 8560, including a partial powershift “Range Command” transmission with 17 or 18 forward and 6 reverse gears, closed-center load-sensing hydraulic systems, and independent PTOs with 540/1000 rpm options. The 8560 leads the lineup with a 7.5L Genesis 6-cylinder engine, producing around 160 hp, hydraulic pump flows of approximately 26 gpm, and rear lift capacities exceeding 12,000 lbs at 24 inches. Fuel capacities of 85 gallons and operating weights in the 12,000–13,500 lb range provide the endurance and stability needed for large implements and long workdays.

The repair manual provides complete factory service coverage for these tractors. Sections include engines, electrical system, clutch, transmissions, mechanical rear wheel drive, brakes, power take-off, hydraulic system, front drive lines, and cab. Each section contains step-by-step disassembly and reassembly procedures, troubleshooting guides, exploded component diagrams, wiring and hydraulic schematics, torque specifications, and lubrication charts. Designed for both professional technicians and tractor owners, the manual ensures accurate repairs and long-term reliability of the 60 Series tractors.
