• The T7 range is equipped with a Nef 6,7 litre engine meeting the Tier 4A standard, using SCR technology developed by FPT and delivering optimised performance and efficiency
• Four new short-wheelbase models added to this new range to extend the offering even further
• Proven New Holland Auto Command continuously variable transmission, delivering precision and fuel savings, built in-house in Antwerp
• Multi-award-winning SideWinder™ II armrest, offering unrivalled ergonomics and intuitive controls as well as fully integrated GPS auto-guidance
• Best-in-class weight-to-power ratio with 28,3 kg/hp
• Best-in-class manoeuvrability and versatility
• Impressive hydraulic flow, up to 140 litres/minute
The New Holland T7 range is equipped with the new Nef 6,7 litre engine meeting the Tier 4A standard and using SCR technology developed by FPT. The new models deliver from 218 to a maximum of 269 horsepower with EPM, which includes engine power management, and replace the previous five models.
In addition, this range is extended with four short-wheelbase models, T7.170, T7.185, T7.200, T7.210, producing between 171 and a maximum of 212 horsepower with EPM. This further widens the choice available to farmers looking for the productivity of Auto Command and an extremely manoeuvrable tractor.
These additional models are ideally suited to both farmers and contractors, offering excellent performance and remarkably low consumption. Thanks to their versatility, they are at home in all applications, in the field and on transport work as well as with a loader. The ergonomic controls of the T7 and their ease of use have been incorporated into the four new models.
Tier 4A: more productivity and lower operating costs for greater respect for the environment
SCR technology, which makes it possible to comply with the Tier 4A regulations on stringent emission standards, was developed in partnership with Fiat Powertrain Technologies, our partner that develops our engines. A fundamental element of the SCR system is AdBlue, the solution injected into the exhaust gases to neutralise the harmful emissions produced during combustion. These are converted into water and nitrogen, two elements naturally present in the environment.
The AdBlue system of the T7 series has been designed to require minimal attention 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 kept informed of the AdBlue level at all times via the displays in the cab.
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 the products needed to ensure compliance with the new Tier 4A regulations, including AdBlue, in containers of various sizes to suit the individual needs of farmers.
SCR technology offers significant performance benefits. The 6,7 litre Nef engines benefit from an increased maximum EPM power, ranging between 171 and 269ch, thanks to the New Holland engine power management system. This technology continuously adapts power to current working conditions by sensing the PTO, hydraulic load and transmission. This allows the engine to develop the optimum power the tractor needs, ensuring maximum efficiency.
Optimised performance and optimal fuel consumption are guaranteed, and customers will have a perfectly effective power reserve to maintain productivity in difficult conditions. In addition, the new T7 series offers the best weight-to-power ratio in its class, with an impressive ratio of 28,3 kg/hp.
The introduction of this new engine will allow customers to reduce their fuel consumption by up to 10%. As a result, the purchase cost of AdBlue is more than offset by the fuel savings achieved. For every euro invested in AdBlue, the user will save three euros of fuel. By choosing the SCR technology of the T7 series, New Holland customers are investing in a solution that is clean in terms of polluting emissions as well as in a highly profitable tractor.
The four additional models produce a rated power between 125 and 165 cv. EPM provides additional engine power, of 171 cv for the T7.170 and up to 212 cv for the T7.210, and further increases productivity. The introduction of short-wheelbase models extends the power range and offers customers more versatility. As with all engines in the range, the 6,7 litre Nef has a turbocharger and an intercooler. It is equipped with electronic Common Rail fuel injection.
Big tractor features
The four short-wheelbase models have a wheelbase of 2.733 mm in a compact package offering natural agility, but they also have the features of "big" tractors: they have been engineered to accommodate tyres up to 650/65/R42. These tyres greatly increase the size of the tyre footprint and ensure lower operating pressures for optimised traction and ground clearance. Wheel slip is also reduced.
Auto Command transmission for maximum efficiency
New Holland has adapted its Auto Command transmission, proven on the largest models in the range, for the four additional models, to match their dimensions and requirements exactly; the T7.220 - T7.270 models retain the excellent current transmission. Developed in the brand's in-house transmission centre in Antwerp, Belgium, these transmissions are at the heart of the tractor range and, combined with the Command Grip™ multifunction lever, deliver smooth, stepless power that is easy to control and managed to guarantee optimal fuel efficiency.
The operator simply selects the desired working speed and Auto Command adapts the engine speed and transmission setting to achieve maximum efficiency.
With the optional 40 km/h ECO, customers can reach top speeds at a reduced engine speed (1.600 tr/min), which is ideal for activities involving a lot of transport work. Speeds as low as 0,02 km/h are achievable, perfect for vegetable crops and other specialist applications.
Award-winning ergonomic controls
The entire T7 range is equipped with the multi-award-winning SideWinder™ II armrest, recognised worldwide and setting the new benchmark for control ergonomics in the agricultural sector. Tested for more than 15.000 hours during the development phase, each control has been placed in the precise position recommended to us by operators.
Already familiar to users of the T6000, T8, T9 ranges as well as FR forage harvesters, the Command Grip™ multifunction lever allows the operator to control the tractor smoothly. The most frequently used functions, including the choice of working engine speed, the valve controls and auto-guidance, are activated by simply pressing a button.
The integrated IntelliView™ III colour touchscreen makes it possible to continuously monitor and adjust a whole series of operating parameters, as well as to control ISOBUS equipment and the integrated IntelliSteer™ guidance solution. All T7 tractors can be factory-prepared with integrated guidance providing absolute pass-to-pass accuracy of 1-2 cm from year to year, using RTK signals. The display provides the interface with this system and its 178 mm width makes it easier to track the recorded guidance passes.
The New Holland panoramic cab offers the best sound insulation on the market, high-quality fit and finish, and a whole range of features to increase operator comfort, reduce fatigue and improve productivity.
Exceptional manoeuvrability and versatility
The SuperSteer™ front axle offers an unrivalled turning radius, ideal for tight turns at the headland. This saves time and fuel.
These four short-wheelbase models benefit from a newly developed in-house front linkage, designed specifically for the SuperSteer models to match the machine's exceptional manoeuvrability optimally. Lifting capacity is not neglected, with a maximum of 3.263 kg for models fitted with SuperSteer, rising to 3.671 kg for models fitted with a standard front axle. Even the heaviest front-mounted implement can be used easily.
The fully integrated concept improves the stability of the machine and the visibility of the front-mounted equipment, for precise operation without compromising manoeuvrability.
Improved PTO offering
The transmission of the short-wheelbase models allows the PTO to operate at a lower engine speed (-12%), for further fuel savings. A ground-speed PTO is also available, which will delight users of driven implements.
