• Three new combine harvesters from 170 ch to 240 ch
• Four- and five-walker models
• Gentle crop handling for high-quality straw
• Comfortable cab that inspires confidence
• Affordable price based on proven reliability and performance
New Holland's outstanding combine harvester family offers the widest choice in the industry, allowing the brand's customers to choose the right machine without compromise. The new TC5000 range, made up of five models, extends the previous offering by adding four- and five-walker models ranging from 170 ch (125 kW) to 240 ch (177 kW) for a new top-of-the-range model.
Developed on the basis of proven technology that has made their reliability famous, the new TC5000 models are carefully engineered. They benefit from advances in engine and harvesting technology to deliver better performance and reduced operating costs.
Designed for performance
New Holland's latest 6.8-litre engine is designed to deliver more power and produce less noise while being more compact and lighter. In addition to exceeding the requirements set by the Tier III emissions standards, the new engine also lowers operating costs thanks to lower fuel and lubricant consumption.
The TC5050 model from 170 ch features a mechanical governor, while the TC5070 from 207 ch and TC5080 from 240 ch are fitted with four valves per cylinder and Common Rail injection for optimum performance.
The new engines are combined with proven transmissions that ensure effortless operation even in the most difficult conditions, thanks to the large, high-inertia threshing drum that ?filters? peak loads. The TC5050, TC5070 and TC5080 models benefit from a smooth and precise hydrostatic transmission.
The TC5000 is able to maintain a high forward speed in any type of crop. A versatile, easily adjusted reel allows high-speed cutting and a positive crop flow to the feeder conveyor. Advanced cutterbar height compensation and control systems make it possible to achieve these high speeds.
Lateral cutterbar tilt can be fitted on the TC5070 and TC5080 models and can be combined with the Autofloat™ system, which allows the cutterbar to stay automatically parallel to the ground. The ControlfloatTM system will automatically maintain a stubble height set by the operator.
Although the TC5000 models are New Holland's entry-level combine harvesters, they nonetheless illustrate the brand's innovative approach to design and performance. Fitted with a rotary separator, the additional concave area of 0,83 m2 brings the total forced-friction area to 1,82 m2, allowing easy threshing and separation of difficult, high-volume crops.
Superior-quality straw
The TC5000 range is ideally suited to livestock operations, where high-quality straw is as important as the grain harvest. The simple and efficient threshing system of the TC5000 range ensures gentle crop handling. A smooth passage from the feeder conveyor to the threshing drum and then to the walkers preserves the straw structure, with no aggressive change of direction. The rotary separator offers improved capacity in high-yielding crops.
The large open area of the walkers draws out the remaining grain while gently transferring the straw out of the combine harvester. The four-walker TC5050 model is joined by the five-walker TC5060, TC5070 and TC5080.
Comfortable driving
High levels of operator comfort and control are the foundation of New Holland's design. The TC5000 range features a modern, spacious cab offering unobstructed 191-degree visibility. The quiet operation of New Holland engines reduces operator fatigue. The choice of an air-suspension seat, a passenger seat, remotely controlled mirrors, and remote controls for cutterbar and threshing system engagement improves comfort and well-being.
A logical multifunction lever controls the speed and movements of the cutterbar. Information on combine harvester operation is conveniently displayed on a console to the operator's right. This efficient system inspires confidence and is complemented by the TC5000 range's ability to reverse the feeder conveyor and cutterbar. A powerful electric motor, engaged from the cab, makes it easy to clear blockages and maintain performance in difficult and uneven crops.
Low operating costs
With low cost and practical operation in mind, New Holland engineers have equipped the TC5000 range to offer good value for money.
Proven reliability, high build quality and precise finish ensure that the TC5000 models hold their value for many seasons. Daily maintenance and overall running costs are reduced, and servicing time is cut thanks to easy access to the engine area, a hinge-mounted rotary screen and easily accessible greasing points.
The use of the latest New Holland engines, featuring advanced fuel injection and combustion control, results in a balance between high engine performance and fuel consumption. The New Holland Tier III engine uses almost 5 % less fuel than the previous TC56 model.
