• Electro Command™ transmission: 40 km/h ECO at 1870 rpm reduces fuel consumption and improves comfort.
• Comfort Ride™ cab suspension: Increased operator comfort in the VisionView™ cab, the market benchmark.
• Exceptional maneuverability: extraordinary agility with a wheelbase of 2380 mm and a wide choice of tires.
• Terralock™ system and high-capacity brakes: improved traction and maneuverability with enhanced deceleration performance.
• Powerful and efficient engines: highly efficient common rail engines, meeting the Tier 4A standard and developing up to 114 ch (hp).
• Auto PTO: effortless PTO engagement, without overload.
• Cutting-edge PLM™ solutions: full compatibility with EZ-Pilot™ guidance increases yields and reduces costs
With the highly renowned Electro Command™ semi-powershift transmission now available on the T5 range, New Holland is further expanding its offer to livestock farms, mixed-crop farms and contractors. This range of three models developing from 99 to 114 ch (hp) will benefit from the reputation of this transmission, from engines compliant with the Tier 4A standard, equipped with common rail technology, and from the deluxe VisionView™ cab, the benchmark for this market segment.
?With this highly efficient transmission, the T5 Electro Command will establish itself as the tractor for intensive transport, haymaking, silage and miscellaneous work on mixed-crop and livestock farms,? commented Luca Mainardi, Head of Tractor and PLM Solutions Development. ?Moreover, with its perfectly spaced working speeds and its exceptional panoramic visibility, the T5 Electro Command will be an excellent candidate for municipalities and road maintenance.?
Electro Command™ transmission: 40km/h ECO at 1870 rpm reduces fuel consumption and improves comfort
The Electro Command™ semi-powershift transmission is the optimized version of the very popular transmission fitted to tractors of the T6 range. This highly efficient transmission offers 16 forward and reverse speeds and allows the operator to select up to eight speeds using simple control buttons located on the gear lever, without having to move the lever.
This lever falls perfectly to hand during work. Range changing is made easier by the addition of three switches on the Command Arc console. The selected ratio is shown on the dashboard, for easy reading at a glance.
The Electro Command transmission with creeper will be the first choice for vegetable growers and row crops. An additional clutch and extra reduction gears provide 16 additional creeper speeds, giving a 32x32 transmission with forward speeds as low as 280 meters/hour. The 'Creeper' function is intuitively activated using a switch located on the Command Arc console.
Comfort Ride™ cab suspension: Increased operator comfort in the VisionView™ cab, the market benchmark.
With the industry-leading deluxe VisionView™ cab, the T5 sets new standards for comfort in mid-size tractors. When fitted with the optional Comfort Ride™ cab suspension, the T5 offers an unrivaled driving position. Well known to users of the T6, T7 and T8 ranges, this suspension absorbs the harshest jolts and reduces operator fatigue by providing a steady, smooth ride, even on uneven roads or across fields.
Exceptional maneuverability: extraordinary agility and a wide choice of tires
The T5 range comes with exceptional maneuverability, essential for working in tight yards and narrow headlands. The compact dimensions of the T5 Electro Command have been confined to a wheelbase of 2380 mm, just 30 mm more than the Dual Command versions.
New Holland's constant concern is to increase reliability, which is why the dimensions of the rear axle housings have been increased to 275 mm. These high-capacity rear axles thus considerably improve the overall reliability of the tractor.
The T5 Electro Command can be fitted with 540/65R38 tires to limit soil compaction and increase load capacity during transport.
Terralock™ system and high-capacity brakes: improved traction and maneuverability with enhanced deceleration performance.
The T5 Electro Command range benefits from the famous Terralock™ traction management system. When activated, the system automatically manages the engagement of the front-wheel drive and the differential lock, thanks to permanent interaction between the forward speed sensors, the brake pedal and the rear linkage.
The system will deactivate automatically during a very tight turn, on headlands for example. This eliminates the 'scraping' of the soil by the tires because the wheels rotate freely and are not locked together. As a result, damage to surface shoots and its negative impact on yields are reduced. The system is also automatically disengaged when the forward speed reaches 15 km/h, for better efficiency in transport.
Alongside the improvements to the transmission, all T5 Electro Command tractors will benefit from high-performance braking with carbon discs. The service life of the brake discs has been extended even further, to improve the already impressive deceleration performance. This means that even with the most heavily loaded trailers, the T5 Electro Command can be brought to a safe stop.
Powerful and efficient engines: highly efficient common rail engines, meeting the Tier 4A standard, developing up to 114 ch (hp)
In perfect line with New Holland's roadmap for equipment below 120 ch (hp), the T5 Electro Command will benefit from the innovative Cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (CEGR) technology, developed in collaboration with FPT Industrial, which makes it possible to meet the Tier 4A standard for polluting emissions.
The complete engine installation has been optimized in terms of space, to ensure that the overall dimensions of the T5 Electro Command remain unchanged and that operating performance is the best possible. The cooling capacity required for equipment below 120 ch (hp) is always more moderate than on more powerful models and CEGR technology becomes the best solution.
Auto PTO: effortless PTO engagement, without overload
New Holland has chosen to equip its T5 Electro Command tractors with this popular feature, the Auto PTO. Activated using a dedicated switch located on the right-hand pillar of the cab, the system is designed to automatically disengage the PTO when the mounted implement reaches a preset height above the ground, and to automatically re-engage it when the implement is lowered below this preset level. As the system requires no operator intervention, it protects the PTO shaft against torsional or bending stresses that can affect its longevity during the various raising and lowering maneuvers of the driven implement.
A predetermined PTO speed is easily maintained with the automatic engine speed management system (ESM): the operator simply selects the desired PTO speed. The system maintains the required engine speed regardless of load variations, by shifting transmission ratios up or down within the selected range.
Cutting-edge PLM™ solutions: full compatibility with EZ-Pilot™ guidance, which increases yields and reduces costs
The entire T5 Electro Command range can be fitted with guidance solutions suited to all kinds of work. Farms wishing to improve steering accuracy will opt for the EZ-Pilot™ system. A steering wheel rotation motor integrated into the steering column steers the tractor using the guidance signals it receives. All adjustment parameters can be viewed and controlled in the cab, on the FM 750 color touchscreen or on the extra-wide 30 cm FM 1000 screen. With the slim AG25 receiver and RTK correction signals, accuracy of up to +/- 2.5 cm can be achieved. When used with PLM software, precise and uniform fertilizer spreading helps optimize input costs. Row crop and vegetable growers can also benefit from precise seeding and inter-row weeding.
