New Holland Agriculture has further expanded the already vast T6 range with two new 6-cylinder models that were presented at SIMA 2019: the T6.180 Dynamic Command and the new T6.160 Electro Command.
Sean Lennon, Head of the Tractors product line, explains: “New Holland has a glorious tradition of leadership in this segment, with a wide choice and a unique offer. The new 6-cylinder model introduces in this segment a new level of performance with an extremely versatile tractor that offers more torque, more engine brake and more stability. Today there is more choice than ever for our customers and a T6 that meets the needs of every agricultural activity. “
6-cylinder performance now combined with the award-winning Dynamic Command transmission
The new engine features optimized EGR-free combustion for efficient operation, combined with an HI-eSCR post-treatment system to meet Stage IV emission regulations: a patented and maintenance-free solution that lowers operating costs.
Thanks to the 6-cylinder engine, the T6.180 offers a higher torque of up to 12% compared to 4-cylinder models, with low-end torque that significantly facilitates restarts, and an increase in torque at intermediate speeds which improves the engine’s ability to deal with transport and in the field. The new 6-cylinder engine delivers a maximum torque of 740 Nm at 1500 rpm, compared to the 700 Nm of the 4-cylinder.
Furthermore, the increased displacement of the new engine improves the engine brake in downhill applications and in transfers, thanks to a braking force greater than 50% compared to the 4-cylinder engine. The optional engine brake for 4 and 6 cylinder engines improves the engine’s braking capacity by an additional 24%.
The new T6 models consolidated New Holland’s leadership in the 6-cylinder tractor segment
GSM II forward speed management system (Ground Speed Management II)
At SIMA, New Holland launched the Ground Speed Management II (GSM II) ground speed management system, in addition to the already proven best-in-class efficiency of the T6 Dynamic Command tractor. An absolute novelty in the sector at the time of the launch, the forward speed management system introduced the CVT logic in a powershift tractor. Now in its second generation, New Holland’s exclusive GSM II control package adds new and exclusive features to the Dynamic Command model, while maintaining the main target of the GSM system that is to increase efficiency. The interface is similar to that of the ‘AutoCommand, with speed control on the CommandGrip multifunction lever, adjustable target speeds on a knurled wheel, Cruise Control and clear and concise information display. Performance can be set to favor power or economy of operation. The GSM II system works with the tools operated or not operated by the PdP, in automatic mode in the field or on the road, and with the possibility of using the traditional Autoshift automatic mode. The system is available factory mounted or unlocked on T6 Dynamic Command models equipped with IntelliView IV and complete CommandGrip.
Integration between HTS II and IntelliTurn systems
Customers using a T6 Dynamic Command with IntelliTurn system will now have the possibility to automate the start-up of the HTS II function for headland turn management. A new configuration option is available that activates the HTS II function based on the distance to the headland or from the field boundary when used together with the IntelliTurn system. The integration of these two systems allows the fully automated headland and the sequencing of the tool functions, guaranteeing efficient and uniform headland turns.
