In line with the advancement of technology, implements, and systems in the agriculture sector, New Holland is modifying their new-generation tractors to keep pace with farmers' needs in the future, writes Jaco du Preez.

New Holland T7 and T6000 tractor series

The new-generation T7 tractor is the future of farming. With its sleek lines and appealing curves, let's welcome the new three-model T7 long wheelbase range.

The head-turning styling features new 'cat-eye' lights, aggressive fish gill-like side vents, and a gull wing profile roof jam-packed with up to 16 LED cab lights, including automotive style signature lights for true round-the-clock farming.

The Tier 3 NEF engines are fully compliant for the South African market and develop between 180hp and 220hp (CV) or 132Kw to 162kW, whilst maintaining the outstanding fuel economy you've come to expect of the T7 range.

The new suspended cab with more visibility makes daylong farming even more comfortable.

Other specifications like hydraulic oil flow and lift capacity have been increased and now you have a four-speed power takeoff (PTO).
