The prospect of long hours harvesting just around the corner means that the one thing you really need to rely on is your combine harvester. 

Like any complex piece of machinery, a combine harvester needs professional maintenance – more so as it is suddenly pressed into a period of intensive use. 

A pre -harvest combine check and service can go a long way to help avoid an unwelcome breakdown plus heartache and expense in the middle of the busy season. Talk to your local rep or any T H WHITE Service Workshop for details of combine servicing and to book your machine in.

A 22 per cent increase in bale density, a 29-knife CropCutter™ system and the unique SmartShift™ gearbox – winner of the Agritechnica silver medal – make New Holland’s BigBaler 1290 High Density the most efficient large square baler in its segment.

Denser bales significantly reduce transport and handling costs, increasing profitability. The new MaxiSweep™ pick-up feeds crop into the large 4.05-metre baling chamber at higher rates, where the high-energy plunger achieves as much as 58 per cent more force than previous ‘Plus’ baler models. Because the compression process is controlled by a clever hydraulic system full bale density is achieved within the first bales, even when starting up with an empty bale chamber.

The SmartShift™ gearbox delivers a soft start-up, contributing to greater operator comfort as well as overload protection for the tractor’s driveline. Smooth operation is also enhanced by a heavy 1080mm diameter flywheel which maintains a maximum flywheel speed of 1,440 rpm at full tractor PTO speed.

Patented Loop Master™ knotting technology uses a loop-style second knot to deliver up to 26 per cent more tensile strength – best-in-class solid binding which produces plastic-free forage and protects the environment by eliminating twine offcuts.

The 2.35-metre MaxiSweep™ pick-up is perfect for the widest swaths left by today’s high-capacity combines, making the BigBaler 1290 High Density ideal for large scale farming where there is a lot of ground to cover, or for contracting. The new baler too with a heavy-duty frame designed to manage higher density loads and a new gearbox mounting. The low cost of ownership resulting from a long life, plus increased productivity and efficiency means greater profitability.

Steve Dixon is typical of the smaller-scale farmer who prefers to carry out his own baling when it suits him without relying on a contractor or anyone else. 

He farms 80-plus acres of grassland and last season he purchased a New Holland Roll Baler RB125 from Will Farr at our Hereford branch.

Steve has made good use of his new roll baler from day one, and it has impressed him on a number of levels, starting with its performance: “It’s much faster than my older baler and the mechanical design is excellent,” he says. 

Since purchasing the baler Steve has produced 1,600 bales; 1,000 for himself and a further 600 contracting. Working in very wet conditions baling silage, hay and straw. “The RB125 was easily achieving 55 bales plus to the hour and even in poor conditions it was achieving 20 bales to an acre in wet grass. It just ate it up!”

In terms of bale production, Steve has been impressed by both the shape and density of the round bales. “The RB125 makes a tremendous bale, even when it’s not on full density. It packs it in very well and there is good cover right over the edge of the bale.” Steve has also benefitted from the option to select 20 knives: “I feed a lot of animals by hand and the smaller forage size makes it easier to feed”.

The RB125 has also proved simple to use. Steve admits that he is not computer savvy, but he has found the IntelliView IV monitor both user-friendly and easy to understand. The pick-up has also worked well for Steve, with no jamming like so many other balers. “It’s a very capable baler which has kept me going right through the season on all conditions” says Steve. “Another benefit has been the auto lube system which keeps maintenance requirements very low.”

At the end of May we undertook some impressive drilling near Toddington, Glos, with our 6m SKY Agriculture Easy Drill Demonstrator powered by a New Holland Agriculture T7 tractor.  

Our Sky Easy Drill is specifically designed as a no-till drill but works equally well in minimum tillage conditions, on consolidated ploughed soil and when drilling into cover crops. This particular drill has three hoppers allowing three different products to be drilled at two different depths. Individual coulter selection, choice of seed spacing and alternative seed distribution are all controllable from the cab and the 3.5 degrees coulter angle dramatically reduces soil disturbance retaining as much moisture as possible in establishment. 

With 250kg of coulter pressure, this drill more than lives up to its direct drill nature and speed and accuracy is better than ever!

Keeping your paddocks looking tidy and weed-free at this time of year can be a challenge and finding someone available to do the work for you, even more so. Investing in your own machinery gives you the freedom and independence to carry out your own maintenance – at a time that suits you. Here’s a small selection of essential  products from Logic and Honda that are a joy to operate, as well as being reliable and effective.

Logic TRM150/120 Rotary mowers: Choose from the  wide 1.5m or 1.2m cut and 13hp or 16hp engines. These capable toppers will power through long grass and weeds leaving a wonderfully neat and tidy finish. We recommend the easy-to-use electric start versions, with adjustable 20mm to 160mm height control and drawbar offset feature. For safety, a cut-out lanyard stops the engine in an instant and the TRM can be towed by an ATV, compact tractor, UTV or 4×4.

Logic MFP Flail mowers: For fast and effective cutting of rough grass, weeds, brambles, maize and woodland, there is no better machine than the Logic flail mower. High speed rotary flails will relentlessly cut through overgrowth as well as being able to cut short paddock grass. Featuring a height adjuster, drawbar offset and safety cut out lanyard, you can choose from 16 to 18hp Engine sizes, 1m to 1.2m cutting widths and three types of flail to match your conditions.

Logic OBS sprayer: No need to lug a Knapsack around when you can spray from your ATV with the rear rack mounted OBS640. It fits in seconds and the powerful 12v pump provides pressure to a 10m hose and hand lance. The operator can choose from a 1.5 or 2m adjustable spray boom with up to 6 nozzles.

The TRX520FA6 Foreman is Honda’s flagship ATV, incorporating every feature you could wish for. Powerful liquid cooled engine, 2/4wd and difflock, power steering, independent suspension, disc brakes, hi and lo range and fully automatic transmission with unique push button gearshift control. All backed by a 2 year warranty and Optional Free GPS tracker.

New Holland’s Service Plus extended machinery warranty is now 100% backed by New Holland itself rather than being based on an insurance policy, meaning that customers can be sure of a fixed cost of ownership plus peace of mind regarding any unexpected repairs.

This gives loyal New Holland customers a clear advantage over many other brands as it eliminates delays or uncertainty regarding reimbursement. The warranty benefits are also transferable – if a machine is sold on the new owner will qualify for exactly the same benefits during the period of coverage, thus enhancing residual values.

The standard Service Plus offer on tractors, which is activated immediately the base warranty expires. is for a warranty extension of an additional 2 years or a total of 3,000 hours over the full 3 year warranty period, although Service Plus cover for tractors can be extended to a maximum of 5 years/5000 hours, allowing clients to vary cover based on greater projected hours or additional years 4 and 5 cover.

For the flagship CX7/8 and CR rotary combines,  two further years of Service Plus cover are available beyond the basic warranty of 1+2, 1,200 hours.

Some of the options require a small customer repair contribution, others don’t, but the New Holland specialists at our Agricultural branches will be happy to explain all the possibilities.

Andy Symes has joined T H WHITE as Case IH Sales Manager reporting to Case IH Dealer Principal and head of our Agriculture Division, David Rapkins. Based at Stockbridge – a dedicated Case IH branch for T H WHITE – Andy will combine team management with sales and business development championing the Case IH brand together with its associated franchises (Pöttinger, Manitou and McConnel). He will be responsible for his own sales territory while also managing the sales team day to day. He will also support the service workshop and parts function based at the branch.

Andy studied agricultural engineering and brings a wealth of experience to his new role. Starting out as an agricultural engineer in Salisbury, Andy gained early experience with Massey Ferguson, Fiat and Renault tractors along with Claas combines. He trained in electronics and hydraulics and quickly learned all about tractor systems. He then spent 13 years in pig farming followed by a short spell maintaining large cargo and passenger aircraft before moving back into the agricultural sector as an engineer for the Peter Noble dealership at Ringwood. Here, he demonstrated equipment and got the sales bug, before moving on to territory sales management for a Claas dealer business. 

Before joining T H WHITE, Andy worked at New Holland UK as Area Sales Manager and then as Harvester Sales Area Manager for South West  England and Wales, where he was successful in increasing the company’s combine harvester market share. Being from the local area, when the position was advertised Andy recognised there is much opportunity to grow the business while working closer with customers and the product. David welcomes Andy to the team commenting that he brings not only valuable and relevant harvest product experience, but also a culture of creating positive relationships and an attitude to deliver a first-class customer experience – values the team at T H WHITE also share.

The latest Pöttinger Torro Combiline loader wagons are combined loader/top-fill wagons for both silage and harvesting, featuring six rows of tines with a large swath roller with crop transfer rods to ensure perfect crop flow and a loading speed.

Designed to handle power from tractors up to 300bhp, the new Torro Combiline wagons deliver a 10% improvement in output compared to previous models. The pick-up is controlled from both ends by a steel cam track and as the forage is not dragged through, meaning there is less longitudinal alignment of stalks. The knives are produced from hardened tool steel and their pressed serrated edge ensures a precise chop. The steel profile panels are fully enclosed, right to the top, while the large surface area of the forage compression flap ensures the best compression of the crop and maximum use of the loading chamber and can be controlled from the tractor cab to enable a rapid change between pick-up loading and top-fill loading. We have a 6010L Combiline ready to go and can supply all others from the range. Call us today!

The Kuhn Merge Maxx 950 is a 9.5m wide belt-merging silage rake which has been specially developed for contractors and large-scale farm producers seeking to achieve maximum productivity in high quality harvesting of grass and other forage crops.

At the heart of the machine are  two adjustable, variable width and bi-directional merger belts to swath a maximum of 9.5m, guaranteeing high output with very high quality forage harvesting.

Nothing is more effective than having homogenous, regular windrows. The unique design of the pick-up and windguard-with-roller produce regular forage pick-up and transfer to the conveyor belt – prerequisites for perfect windrow formation. A regular, homogenous windrow prevents jolting during harvesting and can increase working speeds by up to 2 or 3 km/h.

As an increasing number of UK farmers recognise the benefits of protein-rich alfalfa (Lucerne) as a forage crop which can be harvested three times a year, the MM950 is the ideal machine. Its gentle pick-up means that leaves remain on their stems, thus preserving protein content and nutritional value in the forage. The same applies for harvesting cover crops at the end of autumn: forage is lifted, uncontaminated by wet, sticky soil. 

With the MM 950, you no longer have to choose between a central or side-delivery rake. This rake is capable of adapting to all types of usage, forage volumes and harvesting methods thanks to its many delivery options:

• Central delivery with variable width,

• Side delivery with a view to grouping different working widths together,

• Central and side delivery simultaneously for very high forage volumes and to suit harvesting methods.

The Merge Max 950 provides a practical solution for contractors who offer a variety of services to different customers as the configuration of the machine can be modified easily with the hydraulic control valves. The days of belt-fitting are over and work output is improved.

To learn more about the Kuhn Merge Maxx 950 or to request a demo please contact your T H WHITE rep or visit www.thwhiteagriculture.co.uk.

Ever since Väderstad was founded in the 1960s the company’s development has been directed at ‘getting the best from your land’ – a purpose shared by T H WHITE Group.  

Today considered to be the market leader, Väderstad’s edge comes from its focus on essential drilling and cultivation tasks, creating the optimal soil conditions to maximise yields. Build quality and versatility also sets Väderstad apart, delivering amazing efficiency and productivity.

Planting is a key part of the cycle and the latest range of Tempo high speed planters deliver unmatched precision at double the speed of traditional planters in no-till, min-till or conventional tillage.  The crops gets the best start possible which results in an even emergence.

On traditional planters, the seed falls freely through the seed tube from the seed meter down to the soil. When vibrations arise as speed increases, the seed bounces in the seed tube and much of the precision of the seed meter is lost.

This is where Tempo, with its pressurised seed meter, stands out from the crowd.

Thanks to the PowerShoot technology, which uses air pressure to maintain full control of the seed all the way down to the soil, gravity is removed from the equation so speed is not an issue for Tempo. This means that Tempo planters can achieve an unmatched planting precision in three dimensions – Length, depth, and width:

1. In-row precision – exact distance between each seed in the row.

2. Depth precision – exact depth of each seed.

3. End-of-row precision – individual row shut-off of the seed, fertiliser and micro granulate.

Equipped with hydraulic support wheels mounted between the row units, tilting in hilly conditions is avoided and the wide tyre profile maintains the working depth irrespective of soil type. Designed to fit most tractors, Tempo has a low hydraulic requirement, self-sufficient electric power and requires low draught force.

The Väderstad Tempo is available in models from four to 18 rows, meaning that there’s one for every size of farm and application. A huge variety of crops can be accommodated too, including maize, sugar beet, soya beans, sunflower, oilseed rape and many more. The row spacing can be changed easily for different crops, while seed discs can be changed in a matter of seconds without tools.

T H WHITE can supply the full range of Väderstad Tempo planters, but we have 6-row and 8-row models in stock, ready to go. Contact your Agricultural sales rep for full details.

Diesel bug is not something you want to experience. 

This brown/black slime looks rather like frogspawn and has a pungent, eggy odour. It can grow in diesel fuel tanks where water is also present due to wet conditions or air entering the tank and causing condensation. Before long, it will block your fuel filters.

The answer is to treat your fuel with Exocet Anti Bug Kill – 1-litre will treat 5,000 litres of fuel. Within 24-36 hours it will kill microbiological infestations, eliminating plugging of filters and gauges and maintaining combustion and emission quality.

Exocet Anti Bug Kill is in stock at all T H WHITE Agricultural parts stores at £46.50 + VAT.

The New Holland T4 has scooped the ‘Best Speciality Tractor of the Year’ accolade at the Agritechnica show.

The criteria for selection included the engine, transmission, comfort, agility and design. On top of that, New Holland has upgraded the T4 with its renowned Terraglide front axle suspension to deliver a remarkably smooth ride. There’s also the option of Trelleborg PneuTrac tyres for enhanced traction when working on hillsides, as well as improved fuel economy.

The Terraglide system allows the operator to control the suspension height, adjusting ground clearance according to the conditions and the height of the front implement. Even when working on a slope the tyre never comes into contact with the tractor. Automatic ride height control ensures that the full suspension stroke is always available, even under heavy load. Axle roll control further adds to the tractor’s stability and safety.
It all adds up to a tractor that’s perfect for the specialised conditions encountered in narrow and wide vineyards, roof cultivations and hill farming on steep slopes.

On-farm telematics are taking a huge step forward with the introduction (once tested) of new cloud-based, pan-machine, data harmonising systems from both New Holland and Case IH.

The new systems will not only harmonise data from mixed fleets comprising machines from different manufacturers, but will bring an end to the era of gathering data from machines on memory sticks. Instead, users will be able to monitor, display and store machine and field data instantly and remotely, managing it either from an office computer or in the field from a smartphone or tablet.

As data gathering and interpretation becomes an increasingly vital tool in efficient farm management, New Holland and Case IH parent company CNH Industrial has purchased farm management information system designer, AgDNA. The specialist software created by AgDNA co-ordinates and standardises data, mapping and analytical tools from different sources, allowing mixed fleet owners to view everything in one place, helping to make decision-making faster and more precise. This added functionality will be integrated with existing web platforms to deliver instant activity and field records, remote monitoring of machine location, fuel levels and much more.

The first fruits of these developments are seen in the roll-out of Case IH AFS Connect wireless technology which builds upon proven elements of Case IH Advanced Farming Systems, bringing together all aspects of farm, fleet and data management. The ‘Farm’ sector puts field management and agronomic insights at the farmer’s fingertips, based on historic and current data, while the ‘Fleet’ portal allows owners, managers and operators to monitor machine data such as engine hours, temperatures, engine speeds, fuel consumption and services due, either via the in-cab display, web portal or app. With permission, this data can be shared with Case IH to help ensure machines are operating at peak performance and to identify any issues before they become a problem. Through the ‘Data’ portal AFS Connect instantly transfers and records data via the cloud, making it immediately available for analysis.

AFS Connect will be available on any Case IH tractor or combine that can be fitted with telematics technology, including Maxxum, Puma, Optum, Magnum, Steiger and Quadtrac models, Axial-Flow combines and Farmlift telehandlers.

An AgDNA based system will become available for New Holland machines in the coming months – and with all T7.230 and above (long wheelbase and HD) models, plus flagship CX and CR combine models coming as standard with telematic functionality, as well as being AutoGuidance ready, they are primed to take advantage of this exciting development.  A redesign of the system architecture means it will become possible to see the IntelliView 12 display remotely (IntelliView Connect), carry out remote diagnostics or push software updates to the tractor (IntelliView Remote Services).

Alongside the developments driven by CNH are two new notable partnerships which will further help to integrate the constructive use of data. DataConnect provides manufacturer-independent cloud-to-cloud data management. In addition to New Holland and Case IH, it works with other equipment from Steyr, John Deere and Claas. Data is accessible through any of the relevant manufacturer portals, but is also exchangeable instantly between systems.

      DKE Agrirouter is a universal data transfer hub which now also includes New Holland and Case IH among its members, alongside eleven other machinery partners including leading implement manufacturers. Designed to help ensure compatibility of tractor and implement data management systems, it has more than 20 app creator partners.

Technology is moving fast in farming telematics and we are keen to help our customers take maximum advantage of the developments to increase efficiency and drive profitability. If you would like to know more, or if you have any questions about how these advances could be applied to your farm, please call your T H WHITE Agriculture rep.

If you want even more control, you can simply switch to ESP (Electric Shift Programme) which allows you to select any of the five gears at the touch of a button. There isn’t a more versatile ATV transmission on the market! The TRX420FA2 also features power steering, 2/4wd, start-in-gear, two-year warranty and a tow ball as standard, PLUS an optional GPS tracker free of charge.

Starting at £7,325.00 plus vat, it’s already a steal, but please speak to one of our ATV Champions to discuss a deal!

Logic LPH200 Trailed Spring Tine Harrow

This trailed harrow is aimed at customers who are looking for a superior harrowing implement. It is more efficient at removing moss and thatch from grass and has a stronger scarifying action. This makes it better at stimulating grass growth than a chain harrow as it allows more oxygen to get to grass-roots level. Spring tine harrows are also useful when seeding a paddock – harrow thoroughly, sow the seed then roll the surface with a Ballast Roller to firm the seed into the soil. The clever lift mechanism allows you to raise the frame and drive away when finished. The harrow can be towed by a vehicle, compact tractor, UTV and ATV. From £1,595.00 plus vat.

Logic Ballast Roller

The Logic Ballast Roller is available in 1.5m or 1.8m widths (to suit the tow vehicle). It is robustly made with a heavy wall diameter for strength and performance and when filled with water results in a 500kg rolling weight. When used with an ATV, the low ground pressure of the towing setup hugely reduces ground damage. From £1,035.00 plus vat.

Kawasaki Mule DX

Bring on the big guns! The Mule DX Pro has huge load bed capacity combined with high manoeuvrability and can tow 970Kg. The fuel economy from the Yanmar diesel engine is astonishing and the torque delivered gets you through, up and over the most challenging terrain with grip provided by 2/4wd, high/low range and diff lock. Independent suspension and power steering make for a very comfortable driving experience with two-seat or four-seat, half cab and full cab versions available. From £12,079.00 plus vat.

To talk about the best deals on ATVs, UTVs and implemets, call Tim Rochfort on 07973 911934.

As we come into the cultivation season – especially following the challenging winter – we can help you with some of the best fertilizer spreaders and sprayers on the market.

In stock and ready to work we currently have Kuhn Axis 40.2 and 50.2 EMC (Electronic Mass Control) fertilizer spreaders, fitted as standard with a unique system that regulates the exact fertilizer dose onto each spreading disc. Every second, the metering outlet position is corrected according to the torque measured on each disc, ensuring that exactly the right dose is delivered to the right place, avoiding the ‘dose effect’ and resulting in speed, accuracy plus elimination of wastage.

The ISOBUS-compatible Axis models feature adjustable working width from 12m to 50m, with a capacity of 1,000 – 4,000 litres.

For smaller applications such as mixed crop and livestock farms or field crops, the Kuhn MDS series, with capacities from 500 to 2,000 litres and a standard spreading width of 10-18m, are ideal. We have a brand new MDS 20 in stock.

Norwegian-built Kverneland mounted spreaders are among our favourites and are available from our Hereford branch where we have a CL1100, HL1500 and self-weighing TL1500 in stock offering capacities up to 1,500 litres with a spreading width from 10 – 54m.

Spraying is an essential part of  the germination and control phase and Kuhn offers both trailed and mounted sprayers to cover a wide range of applications. We also supply Hardi sprayers which go right up to the 9,842-litre capacity Commander 10000 with a 40m boom for the most demanding tasks.

Zero percent interest is always a great help when making capital purchases, but a huge added benefit when planning cash flow is being able to choose when you make payments and over what period.

Until the end of June our Hereford branch can arrange 0% finance on all Kverneland diet feeders, shredder-bedders and all arable equipment including ploughs, seed drills, power harrows and cultivation implements.

If you order before the end of April you will not have to pay anything until October when one payment will be due followed by a second a year later (0+2@0%). Alternatively you can make 24 monthly payments after the deferred period (0+24@0%). Prefer not to defer? No problem – make one payment up front, one a year later and one a year after that (1+2@0%), or three monthly payments up front followed by 33 (3+33@0%).

Contact our Hereford branch on 01432 352333.

One of the many things that customers like about T H WHITE is the knowledge, advice and expertise available from our team to help relatively specialist sectors.

A case in point is estate management for enterprises such as country estates, private landowners, large private gardens and those managing shoots or equestrian complexes. These and similar businesses often need an unusual mix of smaller tractors, agricultural equipment and groundcare items, ATVs and UTVs; as an official dealer for a wide range of premier suppliers including New Holland, Iseki, Honda and Kawasaki, T H WHITE is ideally placed to provide exactly the right mix of equipment.

However, offering a wide range of kit is only part of the story. Impartial advice on the best combinations to meet each individual requirement is important too and this is where our estate management specialist Callum Rea comes in.

Callum started his career in an estate agency covering the Newbury and Marlborough areas where he was introduced to many large property landowners, becoming acquainted with the particular challenges faced in running estates. Since joining T H WHITE at the beginning of the year Callum has been adopting many of the long-term customer relationships established by his well-liked predecessor Simon Knight. “I know I’ve got big shoes to fill,” says Callum, “but the customers I have met so far have been very welcoming and receptive. It’s nice to think of them as part of the T H WHITE family.”

As a fan of the great outdoors, Callum is a keen shooter and loves to go out with his border terrier. He is also passionate about athletics – running for the Bristol & West Division of UK Athletics – and he was a professional decathlete before injury dictated a more sober profession! 

If you are managing any kind of estate Callum is ready to advise on some of the best kit available today. Call him on 07860 712963.

New Holland has expanded its T5 series tractor range by adding Dynamic Command models with eight-speed double-clutch transmissions (24/24). 

The compact size and tight turning circle of the T5 Dynamic Command make it ideal for livestock, dairy and mixed farming, particularly suited to loader and yard work. It’s a high productivity tractor which is also capable of high PTO work such as mowing, baling, ground preparation and light tillage.

The powershuttle has a separate forward/reverse clutch for controlled shuttling also on steep slopes. The groups are selected fully automatically. The responsive gearbox and its StartStop function eliminates clutching in loader work at low ground speeds, greatly reducing operator fatigue..

The proven NEF four-cylinder, 4.5-litre engine with ECOBlue™ HI-eSCR2  technology achieves up to 140hp maximum power and delivers 630Nm at 1300rpm maximum torque in the T5.140 at the top of the range.

The tractor operator can match the speed of the tractor precisely to the job without altering the range (the T5 Dynamic Command™ offers a broad spread of speeds within the three ranges), resulting in increased productivity. and enhanced economy. Range shifting is automated, with dedicated clutches for forward and reverse providing a controlled power shuttle, even on hilly terrain.

The ultra-quiet Horizon™ cab together with the SideWinder™ armrest create a best-in-class environment for the operator, and the new Super High Visibility Panel allows excellent all-round visibility, right up to the raised bucket.

The versatile T5 Dynamic Command is available to order NOW from your T H WHITE rep.

T H WHITE has been named New Holland Hay & Forage Dealer of the Year for the second year running. 

The award was announced at the New Holland Dealer Conference held at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford on 14 January. During the conference the T H WHITE team received a number of mentions.  They were positioned third for overall ‘Dealer service’ performance throughout 2019 and fourth in the ‘Dealer of the Year’ performance league tables.  But most notably three of the top ten tractor sales representatives in the UK were selling from T H WHITE. Well done to Ben Linton, Andy Taylor and Ryan Lanfear.

Agricultural Director David Rapkins said: “Since joining T H WHITE I’ve been inspired by the passion and commitment demonstrated by our high calibre staff. Their knowledge and dedication is outstanding and this award validates that.”

The New Holland T4 has scooped the ‘Best Speciality Tractor of the Year’ accolade at the Agritechnica show.

The criteria for selection included the engine, transmission, comfort, agility and design. On top of that, New Holland has upgraded the T4 with its renowned Terraglide front axle suspension to deliver a remarkably smooth ride. There’s also the option of Trelleborg PneuTrac tyres for enhanced traction when working on hillsides, as well as improved fuel economy.

The Terraglide system allows the operator to control the suspension height, adjusting ground clearance according to the conditions and the height of the front implement. Even when working on a slope the tyre never comes into contact with the tractor. Automatic ride height control ensures that the full suspension stroke is always available, even under heavy load. Axle roll control further adds to the tractor’s stability and safety.

It all adds up to a tractor that’s perfect for the specialised conditions encountered in narrow and wide vineyards, cultivation in restricted spaces and hill farming on steep slopes.
