Numerous tyre options, including super singles compatibility for standard chassis models
New Holland has completely redesigned and improved its T9 tractor series, built in the United States. The brand's most powerful tractor, whose largest model reaches a maximum of 669 ch thanks to EPM additional power management, is available in two versions: with a standard chassis or a heavy-duty chassis, to meet every farming need. The standard 36 chassis was developed with row-crop farming in mind, which requires tight turns, as practised in the United States. Following intensive customer consultation, the size of the T9 has been adapted to European road conditions, so the overall width can be limited to 3m with a tyre fitment that respects soil structure.
The wide chassis model is the most powerful articulated tractor on the market and is perfect for all the world's major grain-growing plains. Large farms and agricultural contractors will find in the T9 range the ideal complement to New Holland's other high-end products, such as the CR (rotary) and CX (conventional) combine harvesters, or the FR forage harvesters. In addition, thanks to its choice of soil-friendly tyres, the T9 series offers a significant agronomic advantage by limiting soil compaction.
An excellent operator environment with the SideWinder II and a quiet cab
New Holland carried out extensive research among users before designing the new T9 cab. The result is the best cab in its class, making you forget the impressive dimensions of the T9 around the operator. The control logic will be familiar to users of the T8, T7 and T6000 series and guarantees a 100% New Holland experience.
The cab is packed with clever features that make work easier. One example is the multiple award-winning SideWinder II armrest, which offers ergonomic operation, with all controls naturally within reach. The CommandGrip multifunction lever controls the full powershift transmission for precise gear changes. A dedicated button controls the direction reversal.
The T9 series can be factory-fitted with New Holland's integrated IntelliSteer auto-guidance system. This comprehensive equipment ensures optimal ease of use, with the roof featuring an integrated antenna position and the system being controlled via the 178mm IntelliView III display, which makes it easier to track passes. No additional display or equipment is needed. This fully integrated system delivers absolute pass-to-pass accuracy of 1-2 cm from one year to the next, using RTK signals.
The system is controlled via the IntelliView III colour touchscreen, which also allows operators to access a whole range of operating parameters for constant monitoring and adjustment, in order to achieve maximum productivity and efficiency.
The integrated control panel, ergonomically placed to the operator's right, allows the tractor's operating parameters to be adjusted while working. Functions such as engine speed management and the Terralock automatic systems are controlled via an intuitive panel to ensure that the T9 series operates under optimal conditions and delivers the best results.
Operators spending long hours in the cab will appreciate the all-new Comfort Ride cab suspension. Unique on the market, the cab is suspended at all four corners to absorb even the hardest shocks and ensure cab stability. To increase productivity even further, New Holland's sloping hood concept has been integrated to improve visibility during manoeuvres, and the 360° lighting ensures consistent productivity, even in low light. One of the quietest cabs on the market offers a spacious, relaxing working environment, thanks to the improved cab suspension system and the quiet operation of the Cursor 9 and 13 engines.
The powerful FPT Cursor engines use SCR technology to reduce operating costs
SCR technology, aimed at complying with the strict Tier 4A harmful emissions regulations, was developed in partnership with Fiat Powertrain Technologies, our engine development partner. A fundamental element of the SCR system is AdBlue/DEF, the solution injected into the after-treatment system to neutralise the harmful emissions produced during combustion. These are converted into water and nitrogen, two elements naturally present in the environment. The AdBlue/DEF system of the T9 series has been designed to demand as little as possible from the operator. It only needs topping up from time to time when refuelling with diesel. Its location next to the existing diesel tank makes refilling convenient. The operator is constantly informed of the AdBlue/DEF level via the displays in the cab. The initial purchase price of AdBlue is more than offset by the fuel savings achieved thanks to this sophisticated solution.
New Holland will help its customers adopt SCR technology during the transition to Tier 4A, by providing all the necessary information. All New Holland dealers will stock all the products needed to ensure compliance with the new Tier 4A regulations, including AdBlue, in containers of various sizes to suit farmers' individual needs.
SCR technology offers significant performance benefits. The Cursor 9 and 13 SCR engines benefit from maximum power with EPM increased between 390 and 669 cv thanks to the New Holland engine power management system. This technology continuously adapts the power produced by the engine to working conditions through intelligent detection of the torque absorbed by the PTO, the hydraulic system and the transmission. This allows optimal engine power generation, always tuned for maximum efficiency. Increased performance and reduced fuel consumption are guaranteed, and customers will have a perfectly efficient power reserve to maintain consistent work quality in difficult conditions.
The new T9 range is equipped with 9 litre Cursor engines (model T9.390) and 13 litre Cursor engines (models T9.450, T9.505, T9.560, T9.615, T9.670) developed and produced by Fiat Powertrain Technologies (FPT). These engines handle the most demanding tasks with ease thanks to a rated power of 354 to 608 cv. With up to 40% torque reserve, the T9 range overcomes the toughest conditions with the most demanding implements, without downshifting, giving the customer maximum productivity and efficiency.
The FPT Cursor engines of the T9.615 and T9.670 models are equipped with a two-stage turbo. The first turbo feeds the second, which delivers more engine power by increasing the density of the intake air. The constant power band, characteristic of the system, means that even in the most extreme conditions, the T9 will easily perform the most difficult tasks.
The best hydraulic performance in its class
The new T9 series offers the best hydraulic performance in its class with up to eight rear-mounted auxiliary hydraulic valves. The standard pump delivers débite159 litres/minute; it can optionally be replaced by a higher-capacity pump delivering 216 litres/min, which can be combined with the Mega Flow option providing 212 litres/minute thanks to an additional pump, for a total hydraulic flow of 428 litres/min. The most hydraulically intensive applications, such as planters and large pneumatic air seeders, as well as heavy draft work and transport with the largest chaser bins, become child's play
The hydraulic system is adjusted easily and simply via the IntelliView III display mounted on the SideWinder II armrest. For ease of use, four auxiliary valves are controlled by the ergonomic joystick and the other four with the armrest paddles. It is also possible to control two auxiliary valves via the CommandGrip lever.
Robust chassis and flexible ballasting
New Holland has completely redesigned the T9 chassis to increase both strength and rigidity in order to unleash the full prodigious performance potential of the most powerful models. The range also benefits from optimised manoeuvrability, with a reduced turning radius of xx metres. This system has been subjected to extreme tests to guarantee absolute reliability for customers; for example, the articulation pivot underwent a reliability test in the highly abrasive sand of Arizona for more than 10.000 hours.
The maximum permissible weight of the T9 series has been increased, reaching the impressive limit of 25 tonnes, which means that even the widest implements can be easily pulled. A wide range of ballasting options is also available. Operators can now choose from a full range of monobloc front weights, wheel weights and individual rear weights, to adapt the tractor's traction capacity to the work to be carried out.
Full Powershift transmission with automatic modes
The transmissions of the T9 range have been strengthened to match the engine offering perfectly and to ensure that the 669 cv delivered by the T9.670 are transmitted efficiently to the wheels. The 16 x 2 Ultra Command' full powershift transmission is easily controlled via the CommandGrip lever. Selecting the direction of travel is quick and easy, using either the left hand on the reverser lever mounted under the steering wheel, or the right hand on the reverser buttons located on the CommandGrip lever.
Ground speed management for precise control
To offer optimised productivity and fuel efficiency, New Holland has developed the ground speed management (GSM) concept for the T9 range. As with a continuously variable transmission, the operator sets the ideal working speed. Engine speed and gears are then automatically calibrated for maximum operating efficiency. Once GSM mode is activated, the hand throttle no longer controls engine speed but becomes a true ground speed selector. When the load increases, the transmission automatically downshifts so that the engine revs up and delivers more power. When conditions become easier, the transmission shifts up a gear and engine speed decreases to limit fuel consumption.
Available in two modes: field mode allows working speeds from 4km/h at rated engine speed, and road mode ensures optimal efficiency up to 40km/h. This intuitive system guarantees maximum efficiency under changing load conditions in situations where precise speed is required, such as high-speed seeding.
An improved tyre offering for reduced compaction
New Holland knows that soil compaction is a major concern on large farms. On customers' advice, all T9 standard chassis models can be fitted with extra-large RCI 50 tyres to reduce soil compaction. For applications in North America, dual or even triple wheel solutions provide a wide footprint and thus reduce soil compaction.
Standard chassis models can be fitted with ?super singles? in 900/60/R42 configuration to respect the three-metre transport width limit while benefiting from a wide footprint to prevent soil compaction. In addition, owners do not have to worry about the costly and complex daily maintenance required on tracked vehicles.
