Following a global trial and several modifications to suit the local climate and unique requirements, the New Holland TT3.50 tractor, which New Holland said combines the best features of its compact tractor range in one unit, is ready for launch on local soil.
Modifications to the engine, front end loader capacity and materials have been made to the new tractor model, making it unique for the Australian customer.
New Holland Product Segment Manager for Lifestyle and Small Farm, Mark Crakanthorp, said the TT3.50 fills a gap in the Australian utility tractor market and gives the customer "the most metal for their money".
“The TT3.50 picks up where our previous Workmaster left off as the no-nonsense option for the compact utility buyer,” he said.
“Powered by the familiar 3 cylinder 2.9L S8000 engine, this tractor does not compromise on grunt with 49.5HP and a torque curve designed to match – all on a 62-litre fuel tank.”
New Holland said the S8000 engine requires minimal servicing, hence increasing uptime for producers.
The TT3.50 carries over components common to the existing TT4, including performance, fuel economy and front-end loader capacity despite its more compact body, New Holland added.
“Remaining true to New Holland’s reliability, the TT3.50 is set to be the everyday workhorse, comparably sitting between the Boomer and TT4,” Crakanthorp said.
“The TT3.50 is a ‘Goldilocks’ answer for the lifestyle or hobby farmer, cherry picking the best elements of our compact tractor range to ensure all possible needs are not only met but exceeded.”
Another key feature of the new TT3.50, according to New Holland, is a fresh new design that focuses on comfort, ease, and simplicity that is consistent with the entire New Holland range.
“Aesthetically, the TT3.50 captures the distinctive New Holland ‘cat eye’ lighting and sleek bonnet line. In contrast to other New Holland utility tractors, we have done away with the chunky, square rear fender for a narrower and cleaner design,” Crakanthorp said.
“Not only does this design choice complement the front styling, but it is practical too. It reduces the overall width of the tractor, so it is easier to manoeuvre along narrow tree crops in specialty applications, causing less potential damage – an important consideration with these valuable crops.
“It also offers more space between the guards for operator comfort.”
New Holland Australia and New Zealand General Manager, Bruce Healy, said the arrival of the TT3.50 in Australia is an exciting revolution in the compact tractor range.
“In the design and consultation process of the TT3.50, we wanted to ensure that the end product was not only ideal for our compact utility customer, but that it would keep up in the unique Australian conditions,” he said.
The TT3.50 is now available to order from local New Holland dealerships, with a range of financing options available. Reach out to your local dealer for more details.
