T3F/LP

Again, New Holland has provided environment friendly engines packed with the latest technology and innovations. As the leader of orchard farming tractors, the new T3F & T3LP series both have three models powered by FPT Industrial’s S8000 engine. This 2.9 litre, 3 cylinder engine is equipped with the latest Common Rail fuel injection technology, which is turbocharged and intercooled to deliver the power and performance expected of a New Holland tractor. Fully complaint to Stage V emission regulations, thanks to an optimised combustion profile with EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) and DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst) technology. While it does not require AdBlue, this system is naturally compact in design allowing the after treatment system is located between the engine and the ROPS frame protecting it from branches. Clean and efficient combustion allows the class leading 600 hour oil change interval on these engines.

Both T3F & T3LP series offer different transmission options to suit all farmers with different requirements. A 12x12 Synchro Shuttle™ is offered as a simple & durable mechanical transmission, well known from other New Holland series of tractors. Achieving 30kph maximum speed if specified with a 2WD front axle which is only available on the T3LP. 40kph is achievable if specified with 4WD which is available on both series of tractors. Both T3F & T3LP have a creeper speed option which can reduce forward speed to 100 meters per hour, a benefit for intensive PTO applications such as branch shredding. Hydraulic Powershuttle with 12x12 speed or with creeper configurations is also available on T3LP models only. With this new Powershuttle transmission, operators are able to change direction faster and effortlessly, without pressing the clutch pedal. This ensures a smoother and efficient daily operation, especially when working with a front loader or in confined workspaces where manoeuvring is required.

The new T3F & T3LP series of tractors are designed to deliver performance, efficiency and comfort to reduce fatigue while boosting productivity. Specially designed operator platforms deliver the ergonomic control layout expected by all operators and the T3F & T3LP is no exception. All controls have been specifically positioned so that they can be easily reached. A mid mounted ROPS frame can be folded down on gas struts allowing unrestricted access to low buildings or through low doorways. Major control levers and buttons are located in an ergonomic position on the front or right hand side console. Reduced transmission tunnel width, better positioned foot throttle, gear lever and handbrake combined with reduced trim and new seat with extra front and rear travel offers a capacious operator platform.

Both series of tractors are equipped with a two speed PTO with 540 and 540E as standard. A three speed PTO option is available which includes 540, 540E and ground speed PTO. Servo assisted PTO engagement with a lever located below the steering wheel and PTO speed selection is controlled by a lever located on left of the operator. The PTO engagement can be modulated by the operator reducing the chances of stalling the tractor if a high inertia implement is fitted.
