New Holland Agriculture launches two special edition ?Blue Power? tractors

New Holland started this new year with a shower of awards; the brand received in turn:
• the prestigious ?Tractor of the Year® 2010? title, an award already given to the T7000 in 2007,

• the ?Golden for Design? award for the continuously variable transmission on the New Holland T7070 Auto Command™, an award also given in 2007 for the transmission of the T7060,

• the ?Golden Tractor for Design Award?, which recognizes the New Holland brand for its commitment to developing new ?useful? concepts related to comfort and ease of use, for example the SideWinder™ II armrest and its intuitive controls, an award also given in 2007 at Agritechnica for the T7060 Power CommandTM,

• the ?Good Design Award 2009? was also given to the SideWinder™ armrest available on the T6000 and T7000 ranges,

• the ?Innovation Award? for this same armrest at the FIMA show in Spain...

And this list is not exhaustive!

All these awards recognize New Holland's determination to offer its customers the best technology and solutions to make the work of farmers, and of agriculture in general, easier and more profitable.

To celebrate these remarkable successes, New Holland is staging the worldwide launch of two tractors from the T7000 range with a special ?Blue Power? edition at the FIMA show, to be held in Spain from 9 to 13 February 2010.

These ?Special Edition? tractors, the T7070 Auto CommandTM ?Blue Power? and the T7060 Power CommandTM SideWinderTM II ?Blue Power?, will stand out clearly from all other tractors with their body color, a unique special shade of blue reminiscent of the luxury of Maserati cars, with particular elements highlighted in silver.

The T7070 Auto Command™ ?Blue Power? will be delivered fully equipped, with the SideWinder™ II armrest, the front linkage and the IntelliViewTM III display. Auto CommandTM is New Holland's continuously variable transmission, recognized for its ease of use and smooth, jerk-free acceleration control.

The T7060 Power CommandTM ?Blue Power? will offer the same features as the T7070, including the SideWinderTM II console.

The T7060 Power CommandTM offers a best-in-class Full Powershift transmission, with smooth range changes, for perfect control in applications requiring high traction.

Of note, these tractors are fitted with engines from Fiat Powertrain Technologies (FTP), Bosch-Rexroth components in the continuously variable transmission and an SKF electronic parking brake system. The T7000 Blue Power tractors are offered with Trelleborg tires.

The full specifications of the two tractors, the T7070 Auto CommandTM ?Blue Power? and the T7060 Power CommandTM ?Blue Power?, are available at the official worldwide launch at the FIMA show in Spain, where they were unveiled for the first time.
