Ford New Holland 30-Serie
3 models in this series
Ford New Holland 30 range – from the 3430 to the 8830 from Basildon: three- to six-cylinder diesel with 31 to 137 kW, up to 8.3 tonnes weight
After Ford took over New Holland in 1986, the agricultural machinery division traded for several years as Ford New Holland, with production including the plant at Basildon in England. The 30 range succeeded the earlier 10 range in the early 1990s. This page covers the three versions 3430, 8630 and 8830, spanning from a compact all-purpose tractor to a powerful large tractor.

The register lists 3 versions here with 31.1 to 136.8 kW rated output from three- to six-cylinder diesel engines of 3,141 to 6,582 cc displacement. Kerb weight ranges from 2,742 to 8,346 kg, length from 3,525 to 5,243 mm, width from 1,771 to 2,665 mm and height from 2,451 to 3,065 mm. Maximum torque ranges from 170 to 471 Nm at rated speeds of 1,970 to 2,200 rpm.
The wide span from the compact 3430 to the heavy 8830 shows the breadth of the Ford New Holland 30 range, which covered everything from the smaller family farm to the large arable enterprise. In this decade, the range competed with the comparable series from John Deere, Case IH and Massey Ferguson for market share in the European and American agricultural machinery markets.
When buying a used model from the 30 range, check, depending on size, the condition of the injection pump and turbocharger, wear on the clutch and gearbox, and on the larger models the four-wheel drive and brakes. Spare parts for this range are available through the New Holland dealer network, which continues to support the technical succession of Ford New Holland today.
