New Holland to make waves at Nampo Cape

New Holland is ready for Nampo Cape 2024, which takes place from 11 to 14 September. The company will again make sure that the impressive display of machinery at stands 71, 72, 73, 76, 77 and 78 reflects its commitment to form part of any farming practice and its development.

NEW TRACTORS

With the T7 HD range, it adds the first Stage V tractor to its range. One of these models, the T7.315 HD tractor, uses the ECOBlue™ HI-eSCR 2 (selective catalytic reduction) system to reduce exhaust gases. This innovative aftertreatment system is a maintenance-free solution that keeps operating costs low.

The Auto Command™ continuous variable transmission contributes to efficient operation. The tractor is also equipped with PLM Intelligence™, which includes the IntelliView™ 12 screen and SideWinder™ Ultra command arm. The design is similar to that of the T8 and T9 tractor series, which facilitates the operator’s work because it is uniform. Telematics is standard with the automatic steering system, and the RTK signal is optional.
