New Holland showcases latest range with novel competition

FARMERS visiting the FTMTA show will be able to enter a competition to win use of a New Holland T6.180 DCT for up to three months (or 500 hours) along with the backup of the New Holland technical team.

It’s a great chance for farmers to experience first-hand a versatile, award-winning tractor that is currently the only tractor in its segment to offer an eight-step semi powershift transmission, which contributes to higher efficiency and reduced fuel consumption.

Several models from the T7 tractor range will also feature on the New Holland stand, in addition to an exclusive T5.120 Terracotta limited edition model built to celebrate 100 years of FIAT tractors.

Examples from New Holland’s new implement range will be on display to many Irish farmers for the first time, including a Disc Cutter 320P mounted disc mower conditioner, front-mounted Disc Cutter F 320P, and a reversible plough.

Contractors will also be able to view New Holland’s FR920 Forage Cruiser.

This flagship model is the brand’s highest-powered forager and features an all-new FTP Industrial V20 engine with a power curve specifically matched to forage harvesting operations. It delivers a massive 911hp maximum power at 1600 to 1800 rpm, 4,095 Nm maximum torque and a productivity-boosting 44pc torque rise at 2100-1600 rpm.

The V20 engine delivers the most fuel-efficient performance in the 1600 to 1900 rpm working range. New Holland claims this, together with the low maintenance costs, helps deliver the machine’s low total cost of operation.
