Farm equipment: change and upgrade frequently

In the agriculture industry, mechanisation and technology are constantly changing to make machines and processes more effective. New Holland uses their 40 research and development centres to achieve this, writes Jaco du Preez, product and marketing specialist for tractors at CNH.

With the new T7 HD series we are adding our first Stage V tractor to the range. There are three models in the series, and we focus, as a start, on the T7.315 HD (221kW) model. This unit uses the ECOBlue HI-eSCR 2 system (echo Selective Catalytic Reduction) to reduce emissions. This innovative after-treatment system is a maintenance-free, patented solution that minimises operating costs. The auto command Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) contributes to the effective operation of this unit.
