Smart tractor wins sustainability award
Claas's Axion 960 CEMOS tractor has been recognised as the most sustainable tractor in the prestigious Tractor of the Year awards.
The new range, for release this month, offers three models: the TT4.55, TT4.65 and TT4.75, with engines from 55 to 75hp. The TT4 is set to replace the original Series TT, released in New Zealand in 2005.
New Holland in New Zealand says the Series TT tractor “delivered proven technology, reliability, simplicity and low cost of ownership at a very economical price. Since its introduction, New Holland dealers have sold the TT model into many different applications nationwide”.
The new lineup offers farmers, small holders, local government/municipalities and other operators a “highly versatile” tractor, the company says.
“It offers excellent manoeuvrability, ergonomic comfort and fuel efficiency…. It suits agricultural and non-agricultural tasks, including front loader activities, hauling and PTO work. The TT4 series benefits from New Holland’s acclaimed ergonomic excellence and distinctive styling cues.”
Power will come from FPT Industrial S8000 turbocharged mechanical fuel injection engines – 2.9L power plants with two valves per cylinder and maximum torque of up to 300 Nm.
The engine uses Tier 3 technology to meet engine emission standards. A 540 eco PTO speed enables the engine to run at a lower working speed for lower fuel use.
A new 12x12 transmission offering is standard, as is a dash-mounted synchronised shuttle control. Its lever can be operated without removing the hand from the steering wheel, enhancing safety and loader productivity.
An optional 20x20 creeper transmission is available for all models, with speeds as low as 0.27km/h (270m/hr).
“The transmission controls will be familiar to users of New Holland tractors,” the company says. “Situated either side of the operator, all gear changes can be carried out from the seat without the need to stretch and reach, enabling the operator to easily switch from the steering wheel to the lever.”
The implement pump has flow of 52L/min, good for demanding tasks including front loader and hay and forage work.
A dedicated 28.8L/min independent steering pump assures steering accuracy without compromising loader cycle times or three point linkage operation
A canopy for the ROPS frame is standard equipment.
