New Holland Agriculture is renewing and extending its offering of specialty tractors with next-generation T4 F/N/V series models, the updated Stage V T3F range and the brand-new T3LP low profile model.

The new T4 F/N/V Series meets Stage V emissions standards with new F5C engines and after-treatment system that deliver more power and torque with a clean performance. The 80 model at the low end of the range features a 3.4-litre, two-valve engine with an after-treatment system with diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and diesel particulate filter (DPF) that requires no AdBlue, resulting in lower cost of ownership.

The other models in the range feature a 3.6-litre, four-valve engine and a Compact HI-eSCR2 after-treatment system with DOC and selective catalytic reduction (SCR). A new model, the T4.120 V/N/F, has been added at the top of the range. It delivers a powerful performance with up to 118hp, capable of meeting the engine power requirements for PTO applications and multiple implements.

The recognised manoeuvrability of this specialist range is further enhanced by the new hood that’s been entirely redesigned to provide the lowest hood height in the segment for the Specialty version. The engine layout has been entirely redesigned so that the new hood comfortably houses the complete after-treatment system. The low height and compact size of the hood raises the bar on visibility and safety, as well as reducing potential damage to branches when working under the fruit tree canopy.

The hydraulic system of the rollover protection system (ROPS) version has been upgraded to significantly increase productivity and efficiency. It features a new 100-lit/min hydraulic pumps and up to five pairs of hydraulic remote outlets with power beyond and free flow, and has the capacity required for the simultaneous operation of multiple implements. The new load-sensing hydraulics reduce fuel consumption and oil overheating.

Operator comfort on the ROPS version has been further enhanced with more space, wider seats, new and intuitive controls and an easier-to-read dashboard.

The cab of the T4 F/N/V has been entirely redesigned from the ground up, making the most of the experience acquired with the development of the patented New Holland Blue Cab 4. The new design concept was driven by  customer requirements for comfort and ergonomics. It introduces a standard flat deck and incorporates features from the cabs of New Holland’s higher horsepower ranges. They include the new VIS multi-functional display positioned above the dashboard, which provides live information on the tractor and makes it easy to set functions intuitively thanks to an encoder fitted on the right-hand side trim.

The Comfort is further enhanced by the suspended front axle that ensures a smooth ride. The new windscreen combined with the low hood design provides customers with the best visibility on the market. The cab’s controls have been completely renewed with the most advanced New Holland features and is ready to integrate the latest PLM systems and agriculture 4.0 technologies.

The new T4 F/N/V Series aims to offer the perfect tractors for contractors and small to medium orchards and vineyards with high value crops.

The upgraded T3F series and new T3LP tractors feature a new engine that delivers a maximum power ranging from 55hp to 75hp. The new tractors meet Stage V emissions standards with a new, compact after-treatment system with DOC and DPF.

The range’s upgrade includes improved ergonomics and operator comfort with features such as the lower seat index point. The engine and after-treatment system they deliver a powerful performance with excellent fuel economy and low maintenance costs in a compact package.

The new T3LP model has been engineered to match the specific needs for a low-profile tractor with higher ground clearance that can comfortably work under the canopies of fruit trees. It’s an ideal tractor for multi-purpose farms, equally at home working in orchards and light agriculture applications. Its compact size also makes it very well suited for greenhouse farming.

The wide axles ensure excellent stability in wide-row orchards such as olives and almonds. It’s also supremely manoeuvrable, with a steering angle of up to 52 degrees and tight turning radius of 3.5m for the two-wheel drive version and 3.6m for the four-wheel drive.
