One of the big talking points from New Holland at Agritechnica 2019 (in Germany) is the new T5 Dynamic Command tractor line-up (one of which is pictured above – at the event).
Sean Lennon – head of Tractor Product Management at New Holland – explained: “We have a proud heritage in this segment.
“We have extended our range to enable customers to find the tractor that perfectly matches their requirements.
“Today they can choose from three different transmissions: Electro Command; Auto Command [a continuously-variable transmission]; and now also Dynamic Command.”
He added: “Dynamic Command [24F 24R] is an eight-step semi-powershift transmission. It offers a wide spread of speeds within the three ranges.

“Together with features such as ‘StartStop’ [designed to enable clutch-free loader work at lower speeds], it results in more operator comfort and reduced fatigue.”
T5 Dynamic Command tractors, with rated power outputs from 100hp to 130hp, come with New Holland’s ‘Horizon’ cab (pictured below).
The tractors are described as compact. They stand less than 2.7m tall (depending on tyres), with a wheelbase that spans less than 2.5m.
T5 Auto Command
It’s worth noting that, among a myriad of other tractors and equipment, New Holland is also exhibiting a tractor from its T5 Auto Command line-up (pictured below – at the event).
Auto Command, of course, is New Holland’s stepless (continuously-variable) transmission.
