New Holland T8.390: six-cylinder tractor of the T8 range with a Fiat FPT engine, 250 kW rated output and four-wheel drive for heavy arable farming
New Holland is an agricultural machinery brand of the CNH Industrial group, and its T8 range covers the upper power segment of row-crop tractors. Engines for this class come from Fiat FPT, the powertrain arm of the same group, which keeps engine and tractor development under one roof.

The T8.390 carries a six-cylinder diesel engine with 8.7 litres of displacement. Rated output is 250 kW, roughly 340 hp at 2,000 rpm; peak output reaches up to 390 hp, the difference being the usual gross-versus-net gap of modern tractor engines. At an unladen weight of 11,345 kg and a design top speed of 40 km/h, the power is aimed at drawbar pull rather than road speed.
Machines of this size pull heavy tillage implements and large attachments in professional arable farming, usually with four-wheel drive and a power take-off running at the standard speeds of 540 or 1,000 rpm. A design top speed of 40 km/h places the tractor, under German rules, in driving licence category T.
When buying a used six-cylinder tractor of this power class, check the turbocharger and intercooler, the condition of the clutch where a front power take-off is fitted, and the tightness of the hydraulic couplings for attachments. After several thousand hours, wear tends to show first in the front axle steering knuckles and brakes.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
