New Holland has introduced the new generation of T7 Standard Wheelbase (SWB) tractors, with power ranging from 180 to 225 hp. The models feature a more efficient engine, a redesigned front axle, and a newly designed cab. These improvements enhance field performance and operator comfort.
The T7.225 model with Dynamic Command transmission achieved an efficiency of 243 g/kWh in terms of consumption in the PowerMix test at the DLG center in Germany.
The new dual-accumulator front suspension improves stability and smooths the ride. The turning radius has been reduced by 17%, from 14,3 to 11,4 meters. The new axle is available in standard and heavy-duty versions, with or without suspension.
The tractor maintains the 2.789 mm wheelbase, but now allows a gross vehicle weight of 13,5 tonnes and a payload of up to 5,5 tonnes.
The 6,7-liter FPT NEF engine meets Stage V emissions standards. The new sloping hood improves forward visibility. The power curve has been adjusted to peak at 1.500 rpm, reducing noise and fuel consumption. Service intervals reach 750 hours, according to the company.
Tank capacity has also increased: 350 liters for diesel and 48 liters for Arla 32. All models feature the Engine Power Management system, which delivers 22% to 25% more power in transport, PTO and hydraulic applications.
The T7.180, T7.190 and T7.210 models can be equipped with the new 3x1-range Auto Command CVT transmission. Versions with Dynamic Command and Range Command, both semi-powershift, are also planned. The T7.225 can be equipped with Dynamic Command (24x24) or Auto Command (CVT with 55 km/h) transmissions.
The cab features a new SideWinder control panel, with an IntelliView 12 display and CommandGrip joystick. Ergonomics have been improved with easier access to controls. The InfoView display behind the steering wheel is operator-configurable.
Other highlights include more efficient air conditioning, new interior materials, more space, and cabin suspension options (mechanical, hydraulic, or pneumatic). The access ladder has been integrated into the fuel tank. There are storage compartments and a five-liter reservoir for cleaning.
At the rear, the hydraulic, electrical, and pneumatic connectors have been repositioned to facilitate attachment of implements. The line accepts the use of a front PTO with wet clutch and can be equipped with mechanical valves, even on CVT versions.
ISOBUS Class 2 and 3 compatibility allows for touchscreen control of implements and tractor functions. Tractor/Implement Management (TIM) is also available.
All models feature a factory connectivity package. This technology enables remote dealer support and data-driven operational optimizations.
