Showcased with a T7.245 at the recent National Fieldays, New Holland has expanded its T7 tractor range offering in New Zealand with the launch of a new Tier 3 long-wheelbase configuration, aimed at users looking for a reliable, no-fuss workhorse.
Developed following extensive consultation with New Holland customers, looking for a solution with reduced complexity and without compromising on performance, CNH sales manager David Knowles said the new model was built with the power to perform and designed for functional versatility across a wide range of farming operations.
“There’s no AdBlue required which is something new for this T7 range, making it easier to use and maintain,” said David. “Whether it’s a premium connected machine or the new versatile Tier 3 platform alternative, we now have a complete offering to satisfy every customer.”
Available in 180hp, 200hp, and 220hp, the new T7 model offers a choice of Power Command or Auto Command transmissions, multiple spec levels, and optional technology capabilities, with loader compatibility also adding versatility across different operations.
The new T7 model came in three different configurations, starting with the base level tractor featuring a Power Command transmission, mechanical remotes with the classic cab. The midlevel choice also offers Power Command, complemented by electric remotes, while the premium level offers the Auto Command transmission with electric remotes, with the option of a factory fitted, GPSready kit.
