New Holland Agriculture's new T7000 Power Command™ tractor range arrives at full power

New Holland Agriculture is expanding the T7000 family with a Full-Powershift version named T7000 Power CommandTM Sidewinder IITM.
These new-generation tractors come fully equipped:

• new Sidewinder IITM armrest

• IntelliView IIITM monitor

• electro-hydraulically controlled remote valves

• electronically controlled PTO speed selection

• integrated guidance system

• new electronically controlled parking brake

This high level of equipment is aimed particularly at arable farms and contractors.

Active Power Command™ transmission

The full power of the T7000 six-cylinder engines is delivered to the wheels smoothly and without jerks by one of the two Power CommandTM transmission versions available: the 18x6 40 km/h or the 19x6 40 km/h Eco with direct drive.

During road applications, both transmission versions offer perfect control of fuel consumption with simplified operation.

The Sidewinder IITM armrest: the perfect partner

Introduced on T7000 AutoCommandTM tractors, the all-new SideWinder IITM armrest is an option designed to match the Active Power CommandTM transmission perfectly.

Its ergonomic design offers excellent comfort and the logic of the controls allows natural operation. The operator's hand instinctively reaches the controls for fast, safe actions.

This armrest, adjustable with a single button, houses the CommandGrip™ handle, the single lever, the electronic lift control (EDC) potentiometer, the controls for the auxiliary remote valves and the front and rear PTOs, as well as the colour screen of the IntelliView IIITM monitor.

The CommandGrip™ multi-function handle on the armrest is derived from the one used on the new FR9000 forage harvester; it provides a common driving interface for harvesting machines and tractors.

This handle includes the gear shift controls, the two sets of auxiliary remote valves and guidance, as well as headland turn management and control of mounted or trailed implements requiring regular hydraulic adjustment.

The forward-reverse shuttle on the CommandGrip™ handle can be configured to manage gear changes automatically for smooth and efficient manoeuvres. The shuttle control is duplicated on the steering column.

The IntelliView IIITM touchscreen displays detailed information on all tractor functions, clearly and in an easy-to-use format.

This screen also serves as the interface for New Holland guidance systems. For customers wishing to make the best use of DGPS technology, the New Holland IntelliSteerTM system allows the T7000 Power CommandTM to steer itself along straight or curved lines previously recorded during an initial pass or during earlier work.

Comprehensive software for simplified operation

Using the Power CommandTM transmission is simple and intuitive; it reduces operator intervention while improving performance thanks to precise software management.

For example, IntelliShift™ manages gear changes according to load, speed and oil temperature to ensure smooth gear changes.

In addition, two automated modes take over from manual use of the transmission: the 'field' mode lets you set the gear change thresholds to obtain the best performance in traction or PTO work; the 'road' mode lets you program the number of gears to use for heavy or light loads to ensure the lowest fuel consumption.

Built on success

The T7000 Active Power Command™ SideWinder IITM builds on the success of the T7000 range introduced in 2007. The T7000 was voted ?Tractor of the Year 2008? and won a gold medal for its design at Agritechnica the same year.

Benefiting from a quiet and spacious HorizonTM cab, the best weight-to-power ratios in its category and a high-performance hydraulic system, the T7000 Power CommandTM SideWinder IITM can also be fitted with TerraGlide™ front axle suspension, cab suspension or the exclusive New Holland SuperSteerTM front axle, which provides the best levels of manoeuvrability and gives the user an exceptional wheelbase for better balance and excellent stability at work.
