New Holland has extended its T7 Long Wheelbase range with a new flagship model that delivers more power and best-in-class power-to-weight ratio while maintaining the dimensions and manoeuvrability of the other models.
The performance comes with the superior operator environment of the Horizon Ultra cab and a host of intelligent innovations and features that maximise the tractor’s efficiency, productivity and uptime.
The new T7.300 features an FPT Industrial NEF 6 engine that’s been enhanced with a raft of features and improvements. It delivers 280hp maximum power for draft work and 300hp for PTO and haulage tasks. The new electronically variable-geometry turbocharger ensures high torque and fuel efficiency at low rpm. The tractor meets Stage V emissions standards with a High e-SCR only after-treatment system that optimises power, responsiveness and fuel economy.
Customers will be able to spend more time in the fields with an 18 per cent increase in fuel capacity and minimise their operational costs with a service interval that’s 50 per cent longer than some competitors. The new model features an upgraded version of New Holland’s popular Auto Command transmission that further adds to the tractor’s exceptional efficiency.
New Holland has also extended the tractor’s overall capabilities with increased axle capacities and a higher Gross Vehicle Weight. Tyres that are 2.05m tall increase traction and performance while respecting the soil, and all of this while maintaining the same overall dimensions of the existing T7 models, delivering on the brand’s ultimate performance density claim.
The new T7.300 caters for the customers’ need for more processing power, greater implement connectivity and automation, as well as in-cab convenience. They’ll benefit from New Holland’s best intelligent farming innovations: the efficiency-boosting PLM Intelligence and IntelliView 12 monitor, and the SideWinder Ultra fully adjustable armrest for ergonomic intuitive operation. Tractor Implement Management (TIM) connects the tractor to implements with ease, ensuring communication to and from the implement.
The new model also features award-winning smart innovations in tractor-implement automation that will deliver tangible benefits for customers: the Integrated Large Square Baler Control that optimises interaction between the tractor and baler, anticipating the crop compression results in a 15 per cent reduction in cab movement, a more consistent PTO speed and a 12 per cent reduction in fuel consumption through the baling cycle. The unique CentreView places the display directly in front of the driver while the award-winning Intelligent Trailer Brake delivers stability in conditions that call for it.
The new T7.300 offers the superior comfort of the Horizon Ultra cab, the quietest on the market at 66dBA. It also features a new Comfort Ride suspension, the active electro-hydraulic system decouples the cab movement from the chassis with a “skyhook” control logic to deliver a smooth ride.
The T7 Long Wheelbase range has a well-earned reputation for hydraulic performance, and the T7.300 is no exception. New features include decouple-under-pressure high-flow electro-hydraulic remotes that have fully configurable controls, and a new hydraulic circuit with an optimised design that reduces connections by 30 per cent and features remote test ports for fast fault finding. Operators can manage heavy implements with confidence with the new self-centring hydraulic stabilisers with adjustable lock point. The customisable advanced joystick controls up to six remote valves, providing excellent operator ergonomics.
The new T7.300 benefits from New Holland’s advanced PLM Intelligence solutions that integrate digital technologies to deliver a smart and connected agriculture, enabling customers to maximise the machine’s productivity while optimising yield and input costs.
Precision Land Management (PLM) Intelligence allows all best-in-class field applications such as IntelliSteer 1.5cm accuracy autosteering, IntelliTurn and headland sequences management and ISObus compatibilities for Section Control and variable rate applications to increase productivity, reduce costs and increase comfort.
PLM with Intelligence products are connected to the farmer and the dealer through MYPLM Connect providing real-time information from the field. The dealer can deliver proactive support with remote diagnostics and view the operator’s display in the cab via screen sharing to provide advice.
Connected farming packages help simplify customer business operations. Farmers can prepare field activities from their office and send data remotely to the fleet, and a new IntelliField feature allows up to six machines working in the same field to share information in real time so that each driver has the complete view of the ongoing work in the field on the tractor’s IntelliView display.
The whole fleet is monitored at a control room and skilled technicians are able to provide remote support as necessary, sending corrective action alerts and allowing dealers to prepare assistance.
