| Capacity note | For the New Holland TK4040, the listed cooling system capacity is 3.5 gal | 13.2 L. Buy slightly more coolant than the exact capacity so you have enough for topping off after air burps out. |
| Mixture note | 50/50 antifreeze and water. |
| Radiator cap note | The radiator cap pressure listed for the New Holland TK4040 is 13 psi | 90 kPa. Do not replace it with a random cap unless the pressure rating matches. |
| Refill note | Refill slowly, run the tractor until warm with the heater circuit open if fitted, let it cool, then recheck the coolant level. Never remove a hot radiator cap under pressure. |
New Holland TK4040 Coolant FAQs
How much coolant does a New Holland TK4040 take?
The New Holland TK4040 takes 3.5 gal | 13.2 L of coolant. That is below the average utility tractor benchmark, so it is not a huge coolant job, but you still want spare premix for topping off.
Is 3.5 gal | 13.2 L a small coolant capacity for a New Holland TK4040?
It is below average compared with the benchmark on this page. That makes the job cheaper, but it does not make coolant choice or bleeding less important.
How many coolant jugs do I need for a New Holland TK4040?
This is a manageable refill amount. A 3.5 gal | 13.2 L system needs about 4 one-gallon containers if you are using premixed coolant. If using concentrate at a 50/50 mix, plan on about 1.8 gal of concentrate and 1.8 gal of distilled water. In metric terms, that is roughly 3 x 5 L containers for a full premix refill.
What coolant should I use in a New Holland TK4040?
The listed coolant is ethylene glycol-based coolant. Ethylene glycol tells you the base coolant, but the additive package still matters on diesel engines, so match the manual or an approved equivalent. The listed mix is 50/50 antifreeze and water, so do not run straight water except as a short emergency move.
How much concentrate and water does a New Holland TK4040 need?
With the listed 50/50 antifreeze and water mix, a full 3.5 gal | 13.2 L refill works out to about 1.8 gal of antifreeze concentrate and 1.8 gal of distilled water. If using premix, do not add extra water unless the product label says to.
Can I use a different radiator cap on a New Holland TK4040?
The listed cap pressure is 13 psi | 90 kPa. That higher-pressure cap helps raise the boiling point, but only if the radiator neck, hoses and overflow path are in good shape. A weak cap or damaged seat can still cause coolant loss.
Mistakes do happen. Coolant specs can change by year, engine, market, radiator option and coolant chemistry. Check the operator manual, parts book and official newholland.com website before draining, flushing or refilling the cooling system.
