Once again, New Holland Agriculture is anticipating farmers' needs and offering them complete solutions by updating its entire range of mixed-farming and livestock tractors:

- the brand-new T5 Tier 4B range, winner of the ?Tractor of the Year 2017 in the mixed farming and livestock category? award, is now called T5 Electro Command and remains the benchmark in the high-end offering;

- the new T5 Tier 4A range takes up the legacy of the legendary T5000 range, in a more compact, higher-performing and more competitive form;

- the T4 Powerstar, renamed T4, remains the indispensable all-purpose machine for farms, with its excellent level of performance, reliability and versatility.

With a wide choice of models, options and prices, New Holland is able to provide the perfect solution to meet the specific needs of every farm.

The highlight of this revamped mid-range, the new T5 range comes in five models, from the T5.75 to the T5.115. With a wide power range and varied transmission options, it meets every specific need. These high-performance models offer a higher GVW, which can reach 6 500 kg, and the VisionViewTM cab provides excellent visibility and absolute comfort.

According to Sean Lennon, Tractors and PLM Product Manager, ?the launch of the new T5 completes the process of updating and rationalizing our mid-range.

Through this process, we wanted to offer today's farmers a choice of varied solutions meeting their specific needs and respond to the growing demand for versatile, powerful and lightweight machines. The new T5 range offers a complete answer at an extremely competitive price.?

Wide choice of transmissions: a tractor precisely suited to the customer's needs

The T5 range can be fitted with a wide choice of transmissions depending on each customer's needs. The entry-level Synchro ShuttleTM 12x12 combines robustness with smooth changes of direction. The Powershuttle 12x12 allows the direction of travel to be reversed without declutching, from the steering wheel. The new Dual CommandTM 24x24 transmission features Powershift technology under load with a Hi-Lo doubler and an extremely efficient electrohydraulic reverser, for tailored shuttle shifting.

The creeper versions of the Synchro Shuttle 20X20, Powershuttle 20x20 and Dual Command 40x40 transmissions are aimed particularly at specialist growers such as market gardeners. The minimum creeper speed of 250m/h simplifies manual planting tasks, and the maximum travel speed of 40 km/h is perfectly suited to transporting crops to the farm.

The T5 range models are available in two- or four-wheel drive. They can also be fitted with New Holland's legendary SuperSteerTM axle, which offers a steering angle of up to 76 degrees.

Front linkage and front loader readiness: extreme versatility

The T5 can accommodate the 500TL front loaders and the new 700TL from New Holland which, combined with a front linkage, offer the ultimate level of versatility. The new 700TL chassis, 1 100 mm wide, improves visibility at the front of the machine for precision work and makes servicing easier.

The maximum lift height of New Holland loaders ranges from 3,5 m for the 520TL to an impressive 3,7 m for the 740TL. And with lift capacities of up to 2 060 kg, operators can be sure their machine will cope with any task.

The factory-fitted front linkage offers a maximum lift capacity of 1 670 kg which, combined with the 1 000 tr/min PTO, contributes to the impressive versatility of the T5 range. It will be particularly useful to hay and forage professionals who want to work with front-mounted mowers, or to municipalities that can easily switch from the front weight carrier to an implement linkage and front PTO.

Superior hydraulic system and lift capacity: more productive and more flexible machines

The hydraulic system has been specially designed for mixed-farming operators. The MegaFlowTM system can deliver up to 64 litres/minute with the main pump and 36 litres/minute with the service pump.

The operator thus has the power needed for the most demanding applications, such as work requiring the front loader, while always maintaining smooth and responsive steering.

Customers can tailor the hydraulic system to their needs. The T5 comes with two standard rear auxiliary valves and up to three rear valves, as well as two optional mid-mount valves.

Two additional cylinders provide an impressive rear lift capacity of 4 400 kg. In addition, the PTO with 3 speeds, 540/540E/1000, and ground-speed-proportional operation, allows more implements to be used and saves fuel. The result: a more productive, more versatile and more economical machine.

High-efficiency engine developed in-house: optimal productivity and efficiency

The new T5 range is equipped with a 3,4-litre common rail engine developed by FPT Industrial. Powerful and extremely quiet, it delivers between 75 and 114 ch and provides a maximum torque of 457 Nm for impressive productivity.

It reaches its maximum power as early as 1 900 tr/min and has a constant power range up to 2 300 tr/min, the most frequently used operating range.

The operator thus enjoys a remarkable level of productivity in all applications, including PTO work and high-speed road travel.

The 35% torque back-up gives the T5 exceptional engine responsiveness that guarantees maximum productivity in the most difficult working conditions. The memorization of two engine speeds makes it possible to set two different speeds and makes field work easier, further improving productivity.

Fuel economy and low operating costs: the class champion

Common rail injection technology puts its high precision at the service of optimal responsiveness and the best fuel economy in the segment. With its excellent weight/power ratio of just 31,6 kg/hp, the T5 reduces the risk of soil compaction and uses less fuel.

Several other features help improve fuel economy. This is the case with the new Dual Command™ transmission with integrated 40 km/h ECO, which also offers the advantage of quieter operation during road travel.

Thanks to its low fuel consumption and its larger 160-litre tank, the tractor spends more time in the field, which represents a significant productivity gain.

In addition to the savings made on fuel, the 600-hour service intervals, the longest on the market, offer a further financial benefit.

VisionViewTM cab specially designed to meet operator needs: absolute comfort

The large VisionView cab offers excellent panoramic visibility, further improved by the new single wiper with its 200-degree sweep angle and by wide-angle mirrors.

This tractor also has a glazed cab roof offering a completely clear view of the loader during handling activities.

All controls are sensibly positioned in the cab, and many features can be adjusted to create a comfortable, tailored working environment for the operator.

The dashboard moves together with the fully tiltable steering column to guarantee an always unobstructed view.

Several seat options are available for different levels of comfort, with, at the top of the range, the deluxe air-suspension version as well as a large passenger seat.

The air-conditioning system efficiently regulates the temperature inside the cab on the hottest days as well as in extreme cold. A simple-to-use radio is integrated into the cab and an auxiliary socket is available.
