The New Holland T5 Dual Command tractor range, which comprises five models from 80-117 hp all powered by FPT F36 3.6-litre four-cylinder engines, has been given a new look and gained new features, with a series of updates designed to improve productivity and operator comfort.
The renewed T5 Dual Command comes with a broader rear tire offering and a choice of front axles – a standard unit for lighter work and narrow applications, or a new HD axle for tractors expected to perform heavy loader work and intensive field tasks.
In addition, an exclusive New Holland SuperSteer front axle option features a 76° steering angle to further enhance maneuverability and productivity on tight headland turns, small fields and in farmyards. The 2.35m wheelbase blends this maneuverability with stability.
Tractors fitted with the standard front axle benefit from a 20% increase in steering capacity under load for faster turns, while a more robust HD axle increases gross vehicle weight to 7,000 kg. When fitted with 38 in rear tires, T5 tractors combine high ground clearance of 480 mm and low overall height below 2.67 m, minimizing crop damage risk and maximizing building accessibility.
T5 Dual Command models also gain a rear lift capacity boost of 7% to 4,700 kg, while a new 82 l/min hydraulic pump provides 30% more hydraulic flow, for fast implement headland engagement and quick loader cycle times.
More technology and comfort
Transmission in the new T5 DualCommand models is the established Dual Command 24F/24R unit, with four speeds, three ranges and a two-speed powershift, plus electronic shuttle.
A new auto differential lock and auto 4wd engagement on T5 Dual Command models simplifies headland turns, while a new maintenance-free, quieter, and easy to engage wet disc front PTO delivers more comfort and versatility.
Externally, new T5 tractors feature fresh styling with new front and side grilles plus new decals matching those on other recently updated New Holland machines. A new U-shaped exhaust ensures unimpeded forward vision, while upgraded work lights and headlights with an optional LED light package enhance vision and safety in-field and on-road, and there are new ‘signature’ LED lights.
T5 Dual Command tractors benefit from mechanical Comfort Ride cab suspension, for a smoother ride in field and on road. These models also feature a new digital instrument cluster with a revised design that makes information easier to read.
With demand increasing among utility tractor owners for the same standards of precision farming technology established in higher power models, new T5 Dual Command models can be equipped with telematics and a full suite of precision farming technologies, including autoguidance, the IntelliView 12 touchscreen terminal and ISOBUS Class 2 implement connection. Real-time data machine monitoring – including precise location and duty status – plus remote viewing of in-cab displays and visualization of agronomic data layers can be managed for numerous machine ranges through the New Holland FieldOps platform available worldwide.
