The new T4F S series is described as the ideal tractor for working in orchards and vineyards.
New Holland Agriculture has updated its specialty tractor offering with the introduction of the VisionView cab on the T4 F/N/V Series – alongside a new, more powerful engine and compact hood on the TK4 Series.
Oscar Baroncelli, New Holland Agriculture Tractors product management leader global, says New Holland has remained at the forefront of the specialty tractor segment for seven decades.
“The T4 F/N/V Vision- View cab, the TK4 and the new T4F S once again raise the bar, competely redesigning the products around customer needs.”
The cab is said to deliver the comfort of an open-field tractor in the narrow T4 F/N/V Series, with a spacious environment and flat deck for all sizes and shapes of operator. The design of the front window, combined with a lower and more compact hood offers best in class visibility, at the same time protecting the emissions after-treatment system.
The one-piece side window and four-pillar design offers noise levels as low as 71 dB(A), further adding to the operator’s comfort and safety. The tractors are available with Blue Cab4 fitted with Category 2 and 4 double filtration system.
The T4 F/N/V delivers emissions levels 16 times lower than its predecessor. It uses a F5C FPT engine to achieve 518Nm torque at 1,300rpm, as well as a torque backup up to 40%. Following customer feedback, hydraulic circuits have been redesigned, using a single hydraulic pump to deliver up to 80L/min.
With a history dating back to 1932, the TK4 series crawler tractors have been updated with new styling to match the latest wheeled specialty tractors. The open field models feature new, more powerful Stage V engines with maximum power outputs ranging from 85 to 109hp with emission controls via EGR, DOC and SCRoF.
The narrow models feature a 75hp Stage V engine and after-treatment system with EGR, DOC and DPF which doesn’t require AdBlue.
Other specifications or options include a factoryfitted cab for Crawler, the SmartTrax rubber track system Interchangeable with steel tracks in less than 1 hour. Steering- O-Matic Plus that uses one control to steer, brake, stop and re-start – without using the clutch pedal.
In addition, the Lift-OMati Plus system allows you to raise or lower the rear linkage when making a headland turn, while maintaining position and draft settings.
Following the modern style of the new T4 specialty series, the T4F S offers features that are essential to all orchard, fruit, vineyard & greenhouse applications already in the base version. The machine offers up to 110hp, combined with a new 12x12 mechanical or powershuttle transmission. The T4F-S will be offered with a wide range of front axles, including the SuperSteer version.
