New Holland: T4S sets new standards in comfort and versatility

New Holland Agriculture says its new T4S tractor delivers the perfect balance between affordability and performance in the sub-80hp tractor sector. Specifically designed to meet the demands of livestock and smaller mixed-farm operations, the three-model range comprises the T4.55S (55hp), T4.65S (65hp) and T4.75S (75hp).

“New Holland recognises there’s a strong demand for tractors that offer mechanical simplicity matched with an enhanced standard specification for improved versatility,” the company’s head of tractors, Sean Lennon, said. “The new T4S series is the result of many years of experience in this sub-80hp power sector.

“Matching the very latest cab technology and sound mechanical engineering is just a part of the T4S tractor package. Small farm and livestock users will find it delivers an unrivalled balance of performance and versatility.”

Purpose developed for the T4S, the new four-post cab offers exceptional roominess and all-round visibility. An opening roof panel offers additional sightline for front-end loader work.

A flat cab floor provides exceptional space for this tractor category, with easy access to facilitate climbing in and out of the tractor for yard work. Powerful heating and air conditioning complete a comfort package designed for fatigue free hours in any task.

As standard, T4S models are fitted with an eight-forward and eight-reverse transmission, with four synchromesh speeds split between high and low ranges. An optional 12 x 12 transmission offering is available throughout the entire range, and is enhanced with the addition of the hydraulic shuttle. This steering-column-mounted lever can be operated without removing the hand from the steering wheel, enhancing safety and improving loader productivity.

An optional creeper allows speeds as low as 108m/hr, ideal for specialist activities and precision applications such as seeding.

The rear lift capacity of the T4S is a class leading 3,000kg with two external assist rams. Up to three hydraulic remotes are available and offer standard flow of up to 48 lit/min. This ensures appropriate hydraulic performance even when carrying out the most demanding applications, including front loader and hay and forage applications.

All T4S tractors are fitted with a two-speed 540/540E PTO. Engagement, via a servo-assisted lever, provides in-built soft start modulating engagement to protect both the tractor and attachments. As an option, a ground-speed PTO can also be specified.

Developed for agricultural applications, the 2.9-litre, three-cylinder S8000 Stage IIIB engine series delivers a combination of high power and torque (with up to 32 per cent of torque reserve) linked to excellent fuel consumption. Engines on all models feature a turbocharger and intercooler for exceptional efficiency and performance.

With a compact wheelbase of 2,130mm, and overall height of 2,520mm, the T4S tractor is a thoroughly modern but traditionally sized “small” tractor. Depending on tyre choice, operating widths across the rear of the tractor span 1,440mm to 1,950mm, making a T4S the ideal choice as an all-rounder for a wide range of tasks.
