Giving farmers the advantage!

The COVID-19 pandemic has been difficult for everyone, including farmers. However, New Holland has continued to support farming communities during the pandemic. And because farmers always keep on working, New Holland has also kept on working and launched several new tractors and balers for farmers looking for better performance.

NEW PRODUCT RANGES

The GENESIS T8 Series with PLM Intelligence™ has been built with the input of farmers. From a reimagined cab design that offers the most comfortable and convenient driver experience, to next-generation intuitive controls that can be easily customised to the task at hand, every detail has been carefully engineered to meet a farmer’s needs.

This is also the first tractor on the market to fully integrate New Holland’s advanced PLM Intelligence™ platform.
