The latest New Holland T7 Standard Wheelbase (SWB) tractors bring new capabilities
to the 180-225hp segment. Multiple technology and transmission improvements
enhance efficiency, and a new front axle makes for a significantly smoother ride and
tighter turning circle, complementing the range’s established compact dimensions. The
new T7 Standard Wheelbase also sports the striking new Dynamic Blue colour which
will be introduced across future New Holland tractors.
“We’ve completely reimagined the key design features of the T7 Standard Wheelbase
tractor range,” says New Holland Standard Wheelbase Global Product Manager,
Manfred Pfleger. “Significant upgrades include a new cab design, a new operator
interface and armrest, and a more compact front end, core for a tractor range that
competes in an important sector of the market with a broad customer base. The
redesigned suspension delivers greater comfort and control, and complements the light
weight, high-capacity design of this range to boost productivity and performance.”
The T7.225 with Dynamic Command™ (DCT) transmission recently set a new
benchmark at the German DLG test centre. It achieved best-in-class PowerMix fuel
efficiency in its power class, consuming just 243g/kWh.
The new front axle, available in standard or heavy-duty versions, either of which can
be suspended, incorporates dual accumulators for faster, smoother response that
cushions the tractor and the operator. A roll control option locks the accumulators
to eliminate movement and enhance handling in transport mode. In conjunction with a
new axle support and redesigned hood shape, the new axle has cut the turning circle
by 17% (2.4m), from 14.3m to 11.4m, for swifter, more efficient headland turns.
The new T7 Standard Wheelbase tractors all feature the same 2,789mm wheelbase as
the models they succeed, yet now have a maximum permissible gross vehicle
weight of 13.5t and a greater maximum payload of 5.5t, positioning them amongst
the segment leaders.
A new sloping bonnet that enhances forward vision conceals a Stage V FPT NEF
6.7-litre engine, with 750-hour service interval. Diesel fuel and AdBlue/DEF
capacities have respectively been increased to 350 litres and 48 litres. The NEF
engine’s new power curve reaches maximum power at a lower engine speed of
1,500rpm, reducing both fuel consumption and noise. Each model benefits from an
Engine Power Management boost for 22-25% additional power in transport, PTO
and hydraulic applications.
Depending on business requirements, the T7.180, T7.190, and T7.210 tractors can be
specified with the new 3x1-range Auto Command™ CVT, available from launch. Both
the new Dynamic Command™ semi-powershift with Double Clutch Technology,
and the well-respected Range Command™ semi-powershift transmission, will be
subsequently introduced.
On the range-topping T7.225 model, customers can select from Dynamic Command™
or Auto Command™ transmissions. The new Dynamic Command™ provides 24F/24R
speeds, with a 50kph Eco top speed and start/stop functionality, while the new Auto
Command™ CVT has a 55kph top speed. New power-assisted brakes provide greater
stopping power to match the higher speeds.
Next-level technology for greater productivity and comfort
A new operator interface on the SideWinder™ armrest means customers can
specify the controls that suit their requirements, from mechanical remote valves and a
standard instrument cluster to electronic remotes and the IntelliView™ 12 touchscreen
display.
The new compact SideWinder armrest puts key controls at the driver’s fingertips for
intuitive operation, and in addition to IntelliView™ 12 includes a refined
CommandGrip™ multifunction handle plus, on models specified with electronic
remote valves, new operating paddles. Information on the InfoView™ display behind
the steering wheel is selectable via the encoder on the SideWinder armrest.
The new T7 Standard Wheelbase tractors offer enhanced comfort and functionality,
featuring improved climate control, a more spacious cab, upgraded materials, and
expanded storage. Users can choose from three roof options and various cab
suspension types – mechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic.
Styling and substance merge further around the cab access area, where the steps and
handles are integrated into the fuel tank. On the right-hand side is an integral
storage box and a five-litre hand-wash tank. Buyers can specify a range of LED light
options, and distinctive new New Holland leaf emblem taillights.
At the rear, implement connection is even easier with better access to hydraulic,
electrical and pneumatic connections, and a new independent pick-up hitch. Auto
Command™ CVT models can now be specified with mechanical remote valves, and the
optional front PTO has a wet clutch for durability.
The range supports ISOBUS Class 2 or 3, enabling implement control over tractor
functions in addition to touchscreen control of ISOBUS implements, and TIM tractor /
implement Management is available. These functions apply to the management of both
front and rear mounted implements.
All models come with Connectivity Included as standard, allowing data-driven
efficiency improvements and remote dealer support through monitoring and updates.
