T7 Range Tier 4B
The Heavy Duty range is truly groundbreaking. The
two new models can mount larger Group 48 and 49
tyres (2050mm and 2170mm respectively) with a read
tyre width up to 900mm. The larger tyres reduce soil
compaction and increase traction: two benefits in one.
Tyre pressure is monitored directly from the IntelliView™
IV display. An alarm will set off if tyre pressure drops on
any of up to 16 tyres, which means having control of the
trailer as well.
In terms of manoeuvrability, the ABS SuperSteer™ option
can reduce the turning cycle by up to 50%by automatically
applying the inner brake during field turns.
On top of the Heavy Duty version, the new T7 range
also includes a long wheel base and a standard
wheel base version. The long wheelbase comes in four
models, all of which feature the new, rugged
styling package. The models come with a
rated horsepower of 180, 200, 220 and
240, all with the same six cylinder, 6,7 litre
engine.
The T7 standard wheel base is also
available in four configurations, this time
with a rated horsepower of 140, 150, 165
and 180 hp.
The entire T7 family has taken advantage of the
move to Tier 4B compliance, with a number of key new
features: the new T7 range performs better, is more
powerful, more comfortable, and has lower emissions.
The new T7 range displays a sleek, rugged styling
with no compromise on functionality. The new
engine hood features the signature New Holland cat eye
lights, now in LED form. But the lines of the hood have
not been drawn just for their looks: their extended side
panels provide more protection from dirt and debris.
The side vents provide aeration, as well as style.
New Holland has redesigned its celebrated T7 range,
with new looks, new features, new models, and new
Tier 4B compliant powertrains.
The T7 family comes in three versions, the standard
wheelbase with maximum power (including Engine
Power management) between 175 and 225 hp, the
long wheelbase with max power from 225 to 270, and
the new Heavy Duty range with 290 or 315 hp that has
already won the Machine of the Year award in 2015.
The T7 Heavy Duty Range is the result of a global
customer consultation. New Holland asked farmers all
over the world to specify their perfect tractor, and this
is it: more power, larger loads, business class comfort,
compact dimensions, tight turning and easy multitasking.
All the required features have been packed into a totally
new body and have been distilled into just two
models, the T7.290 and the T7.315. There
is also an exclusive Blue Power edition for
those who really want the best of the
best. With metallic midnight blue paint,
chromed grille, silver wheel trims and
silver light surround on working lights,
the T7 Heavy Duty range Blue Power is also
a stunning looker.
No surprise that it received the Machine of the Year
2016 award, given by a jury of 19 journalists representing
leading European agricultural publications.
“We are very proud of this recognition”, commented
Sean Lennon, Head of Tractor and Telehandler Product
Management. “This award is a well deserved recognition
of the hard work and dedication of all those involved in the
development of the T7.315, from our engineering teams
to the whole Basildon plant team, who set up a brand
new dedicated assembly line and new processes to ensure
consistently high quality for every unit leaving the line”.
More performance, more power, more comfort, in a sleek new package
T7 Range. New looks, new tricks
“Pleasant days in the field”
David Roberts - UK
David Roberts represents J&J Roberts on
Clive Farm, in Wolverhampton, UK. “We’ve
always had New Holland tractors”, he says,
“but hadn’t replaced a machine for some
time, so when it was time to change our
T6080 we decided to move up a power
bracket to the T7.270 Auto Command Blue
Power”.
“We farm 400ha of owned and rented
land near Wolverhampton. Around a
third of the land is ploughed and the
remainder is minimum tillage. The extra
power from the T7.270 Auto Command
means we can get cultivation work done
faster, and alongside our existing T7030
we’ve got more capacity should we take
on additional land in the future”.
“We’re really pleased with the T7.270 so
far. The new cab is very comfortable and
much quieter than the T7030, which will
make long days in the field much more
pleasant”.
Service access is as easy as ever. Similarly, the gullwing
profile of the roof line provides the perfect seating for an
array of adjustable LED working lights. Another example
of form integrated into function. Even the radio antenna
is integrated, highlighting the attention to detail that went
into this new design.
The whole T7 Series features a 6-cylinder engine and
ECOBlue™ HI-eSCR technology developed by FPT
Industrial that meets Tier 4B emissions standards
without the need for Exhaust Gas Recirculation or
Diesel Particulate Filter. This means that upper power
levels have actually increased for all versions of the T7.
Rated power of the long wheelbase is up 5%, while the
standard wheel base is up 9% to 180 hp. Add to that 45
hp of Engine Power Management and you end up with a
