InfoWeb Marketplace · Editorial teamPublished on 17 February 2012 · 4 min read
• NEF SCR ECOBlue™ engine: superior performance, excellent transient load response and up to 10% lower operating costs
• Excellent weight-to-power ratio of 28,6 kg/hp: improved traction and reduced soil compaction
• 1000 Eco PTO: fuel savings
• SuperSteer™ front axle: improved maneuverability and super-tight turning
• Very rich and flexible product offering: users tailor their tractors to their needs
The T6 tractor range incorporates SCR ECOBlue™ technology for full compliance with the Tier 4A standard. This new series comprises seven models: T6.120, T6.140, T6.150, T6.155, T6.160, T6.165 and T6.175, delivering between 119 and 175 ch. Thanks to the engine power management system, operators have the power they need to easily handle every farming task.
The T6 will become the tractor of choice for forward-looking mixed crop and livestock farmers, as well as for contractors. New Holland is alone in its segment in offering a six-cylinder Tier 4A engine with a rated power of 115 ch, giving farmers an even wider choice.
NEF SCR ECOBlue™ engine: superior performance, excellent transient load response and up to 10% lower operating costs
New Holland has adapted the SCR ECOBlue™ engine to the entire T6 range: users can choose between a 4,5-litre four-cylinder NEF engine or a 6,7-litre six-cylinder NEF version.
All models, except the entry-level T6.120, feature engine management with Engine Power Management (EPM). EPM technology, available for transport, PTO and now hydraulic applications, constantly adjusts engine power to actual working conditions.
Intelligent load sensing of the PTO, hydraulic system and transmission ensures that the engine delivers optimal power and always runs at the most efficient settings.
SCR ECOBlue™ engines deliver the best response power. Engine responsiveness has been improved thanks to uncompromising combustion cycles that only SCR ECOBlue™ technology can handle.
The entire combustion cycle has been optimized to deliver maximum performance across the whole operating range, since the engine always breathes 100% fresh, clean air, whatever its power output. Improved cooling features reduce parasitic losses, while gas scavenging minimizes back pressure to improve overall engine efficiency and performance.
The SCR ECOBlue™ engines fitted to the T6 range significantly improve work performance thanks to improved torque characteristics: maximum torque of 726 Nm and torque back-up of 42%. In practice, this means that when the tractor is under load, the reaction time is quicker to prevent any slowdown in difficult conditions.
Fuel consumption has been further improved thanks to Engine Idle Speed Management (EISM) technology. Engine idle speed is reduced from 850 to 650 tr/min in certain conditions, in particular when the operator is not seated or when zero acceleration is applied. Combined with the highly efficient SCR ECOBlue™ engine, users see operating costs reduced by up to 10%.
Excellent weight-to-power ratio of 28,6 kg/hp: improved traction and reduced soil compaction
As always, the entire T6 tractor range features exceptionally low weight-to-power ratios of 28,6 kg/hp. As a result, farmers and contractors are not burdened with unnecessary weight: they can significantly reduce fuel consumption and soil compaction. The low vehicle mass makes it possible to adjust ballasting according to field productivity needs.
1000 Eco PTO: even more fuel savings
The three largest models in the T6 range can now be optionally equipped with a 540E/1000/1000E PTO, ideal for hay and forage producers used to the BB9000 range of large square balers. The PTO reaches its 1000 Eco speed at just 1893 tr/min, which considerably reduces fuel consumption and also helps lower the vehicle's noise emissions.
SuperSteer™ linkage and front axle: improved maneuverability and super-tight turning
The unique SuperSteer™ front axle technology allows the front axle and linkage to follow the steering movement of the wheels. The resulting steering angle of 66° provides a super-tight turning radius of just 4,05 m (40% more steering efficiency compared with a standard axle). This technology is ideal for row crops. More time spent working, less time wasted on turns and less compaction at the headlands!
You can also choose the Terraglide™ suspended front axle, which will ensure your comfort if you do a lot of transport work.
Rich and flexible product offering: customers tailor their tractors to their needs
New Holland knows full well that every farm is different and that every customer has very specific needs, which is why a ?zero constraint? approach was adopted for the configuration of the T6 range. All options can be selected on all tractors, with no limitations or predetermined packages. Some examples: standard cabs or low-roof versions, a new 80l/min fixed hydraulic pump or a 113 litres/minute CCLS closed-center load-sensing hydraulic pump, Electro Command™16x16 transmission (8 speeds without clutching) or Dual Command™ 24x24 (2 speeds under load), four- or six-cylinder engines... Everything comes together as a perfectly compatible whole.
A tailor-made cab designed for maximum visibility
The T6 ?horizon? cab offers optimal visibility over 360° thanks to its 4-pillar design, with no intermediate pillar obstructing the side view of the towed implement. In addition, this cab is designed for loader applications, as its glazed roof lets you keep an eye on your loader in the raised position. The sloping hood ensures low visibility. This FOPS and ROPS approved cab will protect you optimally against falling objects.
We have thought of low livestock buildings: for this, you can choose between a low cab or a high cab. You can also opt for a fixed cab or a suspended cab for optimal comfort.
Model specifications
The new numbering of the T6 series directly indicates the power of the different models: the first digit represents the series, T6, and the digits after the point refer to the maximum power of the engine power management system (or to the maximum power in the case of the T6.120). Model identification has been further simplified: models ending in '0' are four-cylinder machines, and those ending in a '5' are fitted with six-cylinder engines.
