New Holland: Upgraded T9 range is better than ever

The T9 Series is the most powerful tractor in the New Holland range and provides a simple, high-horsepower solution for large-scale farmers, with its competitive price, low running costs, superior operator comfort and soil-friendly tyres. This latest upgrade – which features seven models with maximum power outputs from 435hp to 692hp – ramps up its powerful performance, further improves operator comfort and reduces operating costs.

“The T9 in standard frame version has been developed for the European markets, providing a tractor that can utilise 900mm wide high traction tyres, yet remaining within the 3m transportation requirement,” New Holland’s Luca Mainardi said. “The higher-horsepower models use a heavy-duty frame that’s perfect for broad area, small grain growers and large arable farmers where equipment width accommodates a wider footprint. The soil-friendly tyre offering gives advantages in both reduced soil damage at headlands and reduced operator fatigue when moving between fields.”

The T9 meets Stage IV emissions standards with New Holland’s EcoBlue HI-eSCR proven technology that the company has adopted for its high-horsepower tractor ranges. It has the highest conversion efficiency in the industry of 95 per cent and has multiple advantages for customers. First of all, it’s an evolution of the Stage IIIB EcoBlue solution, so there’s no change in the way the machine operates. It’s highly efficient with low fuel and AdBlue consumption, and because of the simple installation, it’s able to deliver the same or more power than its predecessor.

The best-in-class cab design makes the T9’s impressive proportions shrink around the operator and is packed with features that make operation easy and comfortable. The award winning SideWinder II armrest offers the ultimate in ergonomic operation, as all controls naturally fall to hand. The CommandGrip multi-function handle controls the tractor functions that are used most frequently. The Ultra Command transmission gear change, Ground Speed Management, IntelliSteer and Headland Turn are on the handle itself for intuitive operation.

It’s been further improved with more responsive, soft touch buttons and backlighting. A thumb wheel has also been integrated to make the adjustment of Ground Speed Management target speeds very easy.

The T9 delivers the best hydraulic performance in its segment with up to eight rear-mounted remote valves. The standard pump delivers up to 159 lit/min. An optional high-flow version delivers up to 216 lit/min that can be raised to a total of 428 lit/min when combined with a Mega Flow pump. With this hydraulic power the T9 operates the most power hungry implements with ease.

The SideWinder II armrest provides four paddle controls for the remote valves, that fall immediately to hand, with the remaining four valves either controlled by the CommandGrip or jointly by the CommandGrip and an additional two paddles. Some of our customers expressed a preference for paddles to control remote valves, so we added a two-paddle pod to raise the number of paddle controlled valves to six.

The upgraded T9 also introduces a new PTO gearing that delivers 1,000rpm PTO speed at 1,800 revs instead of the 2,000 of its predecessor. This results in an even quieter cab, lower vibration and less fuel consumption. More economy and more comfort for the operator.
