New Holland has recently launched updated versions of its popular T5 and T6 tractor range on the Irish and UK market.

The company has made a number of changes to the tractor models, which are said to improve the performance, visibility and user comfort.

According to New Holland, the new T6 series combines power and technology to deliver unmatched comfort, visibility and maneuverability together with increased power and performance.

The company suggests that the new T6 engines perform better by maximising the power output from each cylinder.

And, the new engine control unit allows the engine to reach its maximum torque levels faster than previous models.

New Holland has also adjusted the engine power management system to develop more power and torque according to the load on the transmission, hydraulics and PTO.

On the new T6.165 model, the adjustment can deliver up to 33 extra horsepower compared to the previous model.

Along with increased performance and comfort, the new T6 model has a wider wheelbase, which the company says give better tractor and an exceptionally smooth ride during field and transport work.

The new T6 series are available in a wide range of transmissions and packages, ranging from 125-175 horsepower.
