New Holland T4 PowerStar

The new entry level T4.55, together with the entire line up, enhances the choice available to farmers, local government / municipalities and other operators who are looking for a highly versatile tractor. It offers excellent manoeuvrability, ergonomic comfort and fuel efficiency. The complete range is ideally suited to a wide range of both agricultural and non-agricultural tasks, including front loader activities, high speed transport and PTO work.

VisionView Cab

Following extensive consultation with users, the entire cab has been completely redesigned. The new VisionView Cab was designed around the operator using advanced virtual reality techniques, which has ensured that all controls fall conveniently to hand for operators. The principal controls have been placed to the right of the operator in an ergonomic 'Command Arc' to reduce fatigue and increase precision. This is combined with a 15-degrees swivel seat for those who extensively use rear mounted equipment. The clear visible instrument cluster moves in conjunction with the fully tiltable steering column, which means operators always have an unobstructed view of key operating parameters. It also facilitates easy entry and exit from the cab.

The cabin benefits from a large flat floor, wide opening glass doors and improved headroom. There is a new dual zone air conditioning system with 10 individual vents.

Engines

The T4.55, T4.65 and T4.75 models will boast FPT Industrial's F5C mechanical injection engine. This 3.2-litre powerplant boasts two valves per cylinder and offers maximum torque of up to 310 Nm, for the most demanding applications. This engine has already been used for over three years in the current T4000 range and speciality series and is renowned for its fuel efficiency and reliability. Together with industry-leading 500-hour service intervals, the engine will use Tier 3 technology at launch to meet current emissions regulations. Overall vehicle efficiency is further enhanced with a 540 eco PTO option. This enables the engine to run at a lower working speed for reduced fuel consumption.

A 12x12 transmission is available across the entire range and is enhanced with the addition of a hydraulic shuttle. An optional 20x20 creeper variant is available for all models; with speeds as low as 0.109km/h it is ideally suited for specialist activities and precision applications such as seeding.

Fully integrated front loader

Loader operation and productivity have been improved with the addition of an integrated joystick. This dedicated ergonomic feature provides operators with the precision control of a front loader, or other specialist mid-mounted equipment, from the comfort of their seat.

Up to three hydraulic remotes are available on the T4 PowerStar range and offer standard flow of up to 48 litres per minute. This ensures the required hydraulic performance even when carrying out the most demanding applications, including front loader and hay and forage applications.

ROPS platform

The new T4 PowerStar range is available in both cab and ROPS variants. The ROPS platform shares the same ergonomic control layout as the cab version and boasts an identical flat floor and fully tiltable steering column.
