Making its global debut at the upcoming Farm Progress Show in the U.S., the New Holland PowerStar Electro Command sits at the top of the PowerStar series as its flagship model. The new transmission option offers automatic transmission, lift capacity and advanced comfort features.
“This PowerStar bridges the gap between utility and agricultural performance,” says Lena Patton, product marketing manager for New Holland North America. ” Whether you’re in the livestock or crop segment, the PowerStar Electro Command is designed to make long days in the cab feel shorter and more productive.”
Rated at 110 and 120 horsepower, with PTO horsepower of 85 and 99, the PowerStar Electro Command is suitable for crop, dairy and general livestock operations and excels in hay and light field work.
With a rear lift capacity of more than 5.2 tons, the tractor has nearly double the rear lift capacity compared to other PowerStar models. This gives operators greater capability to haul heavier feed loads and bales than any other utility tractor. Along with using R38 tires, the PowerStar Electro Command offers the ground clearance and power expected from larger tractors without compromising maneuverability.
The two new models both feature an 80 L/min load-sensing hydraulic pump. Up to three rear remotes and electronic or mid-mount valves support a wide range of implements for a variety of tasks, including feeding livestock, baling hay and spreading fertilizer.
Special feature of the PowerStar Electro Command is its 16×16 semi-powershift transmission. Unlike the traditional 12×12 transmission or Dual Command’s high/low split found on other PowerStar tractors, this configuration allows clutch less shifts between key ranges (A/B and C/D) and includes up to eight automatic gear shifts without pressing even a button for seamless, automatic gear shifting.
This transmission technology, known from other New Holland tractor lines, is specifically designed for tasks that involve frequent load changes, like working hilly terrain to reduce operator fatigue and improve output consistency by providing auto modes for applications. The transmission also sports an ECO speed mode that increases fuel consumption efficiency and reduces engine noise.
The PowerStar Electro Command is available as a cab-only model. A newly available cab suspension system, paired with the air suspension seat that includes fore and aft movement, absorbs shock loads and improves operator comfort by up to 25%, compared to a cab without suspension. The optional suspended front axle further enhances the tractor’s ride quality and helps maintain constant contact with the ground.
Inside the cab, a new high-visibility roof panel and panoramic front windscreen provide clear lines of sight, especially when operating a front loader. A new electronic mid-mount joystick lets the operator shift gears, declutch and operate the loader all from one control point to improve efficiency and reduce unnecessary motion. This is the first PowerStar model to offer full joystick gear control, a feature previously only available in higher horsepower New Holland tractors.
New Holland FieldOps telematics comes standard on the Electro Command Model Year 2026 tractors. This base package includes real-time location tracking, engine performance monitoring and fuel and DEF level visibility. An optional advanced telematics package can be added, allowing customers and/or their dealers to dive even deeper into analytics and real-time machine data, accessing fault codes and operating data remotely for more proactive maintenance and uptime planning.
