New Holland’s T7.210 tractor has been named the 2011 Golden Tractor for Design Series at the Eima Show, held recently at Bologna, Italy.
A jury of 20 journalists, representing 20 European publications specialising in agricultural machinery, named the tractor the best machine of the year in terms of style, functionality and ergonomics.
This latest award confirms the T7 Series as the most award-winning machine in the 14-year history of the Eima event, with a total of two Tractor of the Year awards – in 2008 with the T7060 (now the T7.260) and in 2010 with the T7070 Auto Command (now T7.270) – and three Golden Tractor for Design awards – in 2008, 2010 and 2011.
The T7.210 model is powered by a 6.7-litre Stage 3B compliant NEF engine with SCR technology and is able to provide gains in performance while decreasing fuel consumption.
Equipped with New Holland’s AutoCommand constantly variable transmission, the T7.210 also features the multi award-winning SideWinder II armrest with CommandGrip lever for proportional speed and direction control and an IntelliView III touchscreen monitor. It also has the integrated New Holland IntelliSteer automatic satellite drive system.
Intended for users who prefer a compact machine, but do not want to forfeit high performance, maximum versatility, great productivity and low running costs, the T7.210 has a weight-to-power ratio of 28.3kg/hp and has been designed to allow the fitting of tyres up to size 650/65/R42. These considerably increase the footprint of the vehicle and allow decreased working pressure, improving traction and ground clearance while reducing wheelslip.
