New Holland specialised tractors, powerful and reliable
At EIMA International, New Holland's new range also involved specialised tractors. Here are the most significant innovations.
T4 F/N/V Series. These machines, which are recommended for small and medium-sized fruit and wine growers and contractors with valuable crops, see the debut of the VisionView cab, which features a spacious environment and flat floor suitable for all types of operators. The design of the front glass, combined with the lower, more compact bonnet, which covers and protects the entire after-treatment system, optimises the driver's view of the front of the vehicle - i.e. the working area - just as the one-piece side glass and the four-pillar structure improve it on the sides and rear. The VisionView cab is also one of the quietest in its class (the sound level is just 71 decibels), making driving the T4 F/N/V tractors even more comfortable and safe. On the VisionView, the category 2 and 4 dual filtration system is available, while the man-machine interface has been upgraded with the InfoView digital instrument cluster. In short, when it comes to comfort, New Holland's specialised tractors measure up to open field tractors. Finally, the range's plus points include the F5C FPT engine, which reaches a maximum torque of 518 Nm at a speed of just 1,300 rpm, with a torque reserve of up to 40%. One tractor in this range - the T4.120 F - was recently awarded the prestigious Tractor of Year award in the Best of Specialised category at EIMA 2022.
TK4 series. The TK4 Series crawler tractors have been updated with a restyling in line with the latest specialised wheeled tractors. The open field models saw the introduction of the new, more powerful Stage V engines with a maximum power output of 85 to 109 Hp and an after-treatment system with EGR, DOC and SCRoF, while the 'narrow' models are equipped with a 75 Hp Stage V engine and after-treatment system with EGR, DOC and DPF without the use of AdBlue. The compact design of the engine and after-treatment system has allowed them to fit under the bonnet profile, improving both the view of the work area and the machine's agility to manoeuvre. The new specifications add to a vehicle that has always offered features and exclusives that still make it the best-selling crawler tractor today.
T4F S. This is a machine which, in its basic version, is specifically designed for fruit growing, viticulture and greenhouse cultivation. Reliable and durable, the T4F S models cover a power range of up to 110 horsepower and are equipped with a new 12x12 mechanical or powershuttle transmission and a choice of front axles, including the SuperSteer. Performance has been further improved thanks to the new ergonomic layout of the controls combined with a new hydraulic system (pump capacity up to 70 l/min and new front and rear linkage). Likewise, the view of the work area and manoeuvring agility have been improved thanks to the new positioning of the after-treatment system (ATS), which now retracts completely under the bonnet profile.
