New Holland tractors are renowned for their exceptional productivity and operator comfort. The brand deeply comprehends the requirements of farmers, striving to ensure that their tractors efficiently undertake a multitude of tasks on the farm.
Present at Val Farmers Day 2023, Jaco du Preez, Marketing Manager for New Holland South Africa, highlighted the “take-me-home” attributes of their renowned T9.505 and T8 Genesis tractors. Reflecting on the event, he expressed:
“Participating in Val Farmers Day was a distinct honor, offering a remarkable platform for farmer demonstrations. I would like to spotlight key features of two of the largest offerings within the New Holland lineup.”
New Holland T9.505
Jaco further explains:
“Among the range of five tractors, the T9.505 stands out with its power output ranging from 300 kW to 447 kW. This model has gained significant popularity, especially among farmers managing expanding operations and utilizing wider, heavier implements.”
Over the years, there have been remarkable technological advancements in these tractors. The T9.505 showcases the PLM intelligence controls, featuring a user-friendly 12-inch screen that provides access to all functions. Positioned conveniently on the operator’s right-hand side, the control arm allows for both manual adjustment and integrated control through the screen. Jaco emphasizes:
“This setup significantly enhances the operator’s work performance. Additionally, the consistency of these controls across PLM units ensures seamless compatibility, enabling operators to work effortlessly with all units.”
New Holland T8-380
“The T8 Genesis range enjoys significant popularity in South Africa as well. This well-established series has already gained the trust of South African farmers through its exceptional performance. These tractors also come equipped with the advanced PLM intelligence systems. Take, for instance, the T8-380 tractor boasting a robust 230 kW power output. It features row crop wheels that allow you to navigate between crop rows without damaging the plants,” Jaco highlights.
“South African farmers find these tractors especially favored for tasks like land preparation and planting,” Jaco mentions.
The T8-380 stands out with its exceptional feature of a small turning circle, making it highly effective on headlands. This advantage is achieved by optimizing the chassis to provide greater turning clearance for the front wheels, despite having the longest wheelbase in its size range among tractors in the market. Jaco explains that this design ensures optimal power delivery to the ground without any loss.
To further enhance convenience for farmers and operators, these tractors come equipped with a robust quick-coupling system, enabling effortless attachment and detachment of implements. The tractors boast an impressive hydraulic flow of 282 liters per minute, a capacity set to increase to 325 liters in the future.
“In essence, this tractor is a comprehensive solution that encompasses all functionalities and excels in diverse applications!” concludes Jaco.
New Holland tractors provide a superb solution for the requirements of every farmer. Regardless of size, speed, or type, the New Holland is prepared to assist, offer guidance, and deliver the optimal tractor tailored to your specific needs.
