New Holland Launches New T7 Standard Wheelbase Tractor for North American Market

New Holland is taking the next step in the T7 series with the North American introduction of the new, redesigned T7 standard wheelbase (SWB) tractor.

This versatile and compact powerhouse, which has three model options (T7.190, T7.210 and T7.225), is built to be ‘The Partner' farmers can rely on, no matter what their operations' demand. Combining maneuverability, operator-focused comfort, advanced connectivity and efficiency, the T7 SWB has high productivity and performance for a wide range of applications and farming operations, according to New Holland.

"Today's farmers need equipment that is versatile enough to match their operations' diverse needs," said Alex Berwager, livestock and dairy business manager of New Holland North America. "With multiple transmission options, technology solutions and comfort elements available, customers can tailor this tractor to match how they work. Beef and dairy operations, hay and forage, row crop production or mixed farming could all benefit from the versatility of this tractor because the T7 SWB gives operators a tractor that adapts with them as they tackle their workday's changing needs."

Compact Design, Outstanding Agility, Better Performance

At the heart of the T7 SWB is a focus on driving experience. Compact yet powerful, the tractor features a new front axle design that cuts the turning radius by 20 percent compared to past T7 Series tractor models. This significantly improves tractor maneuverability in tight spaces, according to New Holland.

For beef and dairy operations, this improved agility allows operators to move more efficiently through feed alleys, barn entrances and crowded yards, reducing time spent maneuvering and improving daily workflow. The new front axle also contributes to a smoother ride, cushioning both the tractor and the operator and enhancing comfort during long working days.

The new T7 SWB maintains the same wheelbase as other T7 Series models, but this tractor has increased its vehicle weight to 16,000 lbs. and the payload up to 11,000 lbs. This change elevates its operating performance to the top of the segment. The added vehicle weight and payload capacity improve the tractor's stability when handling heavy implements or full loader buckets.

Under the tractor's new sloping hood is a 6.7-liter engine that features a 750-hour service interval tuned for maximum power at a low engine speed of 1,500rpm to reduce both overall fuel consumption and noise. The T7 SWB's engine also benefits from engine power management-boosted horsepower that delivers 22‒25 percent extra power when used underload to maintain performance and fuel efficiency.

Designed to align with the diverse and ever-changing needs of farming operations, customers have the option of either a 24x24 dynamic command dual-clutch transmission or 3x1-range auto command CVT (continuously variable transmission). Features such as the dynamic command's break-to-clutch function simplify frequent stop-and-go tasks like loader work and baling to help operators stay productive while reducing fatigue throughout a full day's work. The dynamic command transmission also delivers best-in-class fuel consumption, maximizing efficiency across the entire workday, according to New Holland.

To keep working when it matters most and reduce unplanned downtime, the T7 SWB is equipped with uptime-maximizing solutions. FieldOps machine and field management provides real-time data and insights, enabling pinpoint decision-making and improved overall performance efficiency, according to New Holland.

Operator Comfort Designed Around Driver

New Holland said that operator comfort took priority during the engineering of the T7 SWB. It features a redesigned cab suspension system, available in mechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic configurations, which works together with the front axle suspension to deliver more comfort and safety for today's operators — even on uneven terrain, due to the added roll control feature.

This elevated ride quality is furthered by the tractor's upgraded Horizon cab. The new cab offers a more refined and spacious operating space, improved climate control, a quieter working environment and intuitive controls, delivering a refined operator experience across all specifications, according to New Holland.

In-cab visibility has also been improved in every direction without increasing the cab's size. Slimmer corner cab posts, a redesigned hood that improves forward visibility by up to 4.5 ft. and an optional panoramic high-visibility roof panel provide a clearer, less obstructed view. This update makes tasks that require a clear line of sight and precise action, like loader work, easier and safer, according to New Holland.

Daily operation is further simplified through the tractor's thoughtful design. Implement hookup is faster and easier due to the inclusion of pressure release levers and an organized layout of hydraulic, electrical and pneumatic connections. Style and functionality come together around the cab entrance, where steps and handrails are fully integrated into the fuel tank, resulting in a clean appearance while improving ease of entry.

Multiple storage solutions are featured around the tractor, including a sliding toolbox, water tank and battery access for added convenience and practicality. Inside the cab, the latest New Holland user interface and next-generation IntelliView 12 touchscreen display is featured. A new operator interface also is on the SideWinder armrest, allowing customers to specify the controls that suit their requirements and putting key controls at the driver's fingertips for intuitive operation, according to New Holland.

Rounding out the T7 SWB is a modern design. Aligned with New Holland's new brand identity, updates include a redesigned hood, new lighting signature and the new dynamic blue color.

"At its core, the T7 SWB was completely redesigned to deliver unmatched performance and productivity for farmers," said Ken Paul, product marketing manager of CNH representing the T7 standard wheelbase range. "With enhanced comfort, maneuverability and connectivity, it elevates every aspect of their operations and gives them a tractor they can rely on. No matter the task at hand."
