The wraps are off the heir to New Holland’s TND-A tractors, revealing the new T4000 series.
Ranging in capacity between 65hp and 97hp, they comprise four models, each available with either a low profile ROPS frame or a suspended, pressurised ‘Blue Cab’.
Built at New Holland’s Jesi plant in Italy, their profiles make them suited to working in confined areas, including dairy sheds or specialised horticulture and viticulture applications.
All models are fitted with four-cylinder engines offering increased power and torque at lower engine speed with, claims New Holland, reduced noise, fuel consumption and service costs.
The new Iveco F5C and New Holland NEF engines are compliant with the Tier 3 standards and compatible with the use of 100 percent biodiesel.
The new F5C turbocharged, four-cylinder, 3.2L engine with intercooler powers the 65hp T4020 and 78hp T4030 models, and reaches rated power at just 2,300rpm, with the benefit of reducing noise. The 600 hour service intervals will lower operating costs.
The 86hp T4040 and 97hp T4050 models are powered by the turbocharged four-cylinder 4.5L NH NEF engine with intercooler. Rated power is reached at 2,300 rpm, and fuel consumption is said to be 8-9 percent lower than that of the previous Tier II engine.
The T4000 is fitted with a new PowerShuttle 16x16 Synchro shift transmission offering a simple economy transmission with wet shuttle clutch pack.
