New Holland H8040 – US-built self-propelled swather, 126 hp / 94 kW, for cutting and laying crop into windrows ahead of baling or threshing
New Holland is an internationally active farm machinery brand under CNH Industrial. The H8040 is built in the USA and, as a self-propelled swather, belongs to a different machine group than classic combine harvesters: it cuts and lays the crop into windrows to dry rather than threshing it immediately.

The H8040 is powered by a diesel engine rated at 126 hp, or 94 kW. This output is sufficient to drive the header and conditioning rollers of a self-propelled swather and to move briskly across the area being cut.
Self-propelled swathers such as the H8040 are used mainly for hay and forage harvesting and for certain cereal crops where the cut material is meant to dry further in the windrow before being baled or threshed. Unlike towed mowers, the swather itself provides drive and control for the header and conditioning rollers.
When buying a used H8040, key checkpoints are the header and drive belts and the hydraulic control of the cutting table, as well as the conditioning rollers for wear. The hours logged on the diesel engine and the condition of the tyres further indicate the machine's prior annual workload. The cutting table's suspension and the bearings of the conditioning rollers also deserve a close look at inspection, together with the condition of the cutter bar's knives.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
