Electro Command is a semi-powershift transmission offering 40kph ECO at 1,870rpm for reduced fuel consumption. The higher specification also brings ComfortRide cab suspension and TerraLock auto-traction control; while 16.9 R38 tyres can also be fitted for increased ground clearance.
The T5 Electro Command is powered by the latest stage 3b engine delivering 95hp, 105hp and 115hp, and can be supplied with a high visibility roof panel and integrated loader joystick
.New Holland has further extended the T5 range’s appeal to livestock, mixed farmers and contractors with the addition of the acclaimed Electro Command™, semi-powershift transmission. The truly all-rounder three-model range, developing between 99-114hp will benefit from a state-of¬-the-art transmission, alongside proven class-leading Common Rail technology for Tier 4A compliance and the segment’s benchmark, deluxe VisionView™ Cab. “The T5 Electro Command will become the tractor of choice for intensive transport, hay and forage and mixed operations, courtesy of its efficient transmission.” Stated Luca Mainardi, Head of Tractor and PLM Product Management. “Furthermore, the T5 Electro Command will be an exciting prospect for municipalities and road maintenance operations thanks to an ideal range of working speeds and outstanding all-round visibility.”
Electro Command™ transmission: 40kph ECO at 1870rpm reduces fuel consumption and enhances comfort
The Electro Command™, semi powershift transmission is an optimised version of the acclaimed transmission currently fitted to the popular T6 range. This highly efficient transmission, features 16 forward and reverse gears, and enables operators to select up to eight gears via up or downshift buttons on the dedicated transmission lever without physically moving it. This lever falls naturally to hand whilst working. Range changing is further facilitated by the addition of three buttons on the right hand Command Arc. The gear selected is displayed on the easy to read instrument cluster, for at a glance gear consultation.
The Electro Command with Creeper will become the default choice for vegetable growers and other row crop operations. An additional clutch pack and reduction gearing provides an additional 16 gears below the standard gearing, to deliver a total of 32x32 gears which achieve speeds as low as 280 metres/hour. The Creeper function is intuitively engaged courtesy of a switch on the Command Arc.
Comfort Ride™ Cab Suspension: increased operator comfort in the benchmark deluxe VisionView™ Cab
The T5 has redefined the concept of medium sized tractor comfort with the industry-leading deluxe VisionView™ cab. When specified with the optional Comfort Ride™ Cab Suspension, the T5 offers an unsurpassed operating environment. Familiar to users of the T6, T7 and T8 ranges, it acts to counteract even the harshest bumps and reduces operator fatigue courtesy of a silky smooth ride, even when driving on uneven roads or across cultivated fields.
Outstanding manoeuvrability: exceptional agility and a wide tyre offering
The T5 range is synonymous with outstanding manoeuvrability, a prerequisite when negotiating tight yards and headlands. T5 Electro Command’s compact dimensions have been maintained within a 2380mm wheelbase, a mere 3cm longer than Dual Command versions.
Enhancing reliability is a cornerstone of New Holland’s development strategy, and the rear hub diameter has been increased to a full 275mm. These heavy duty rear axles have significantly enhanced overall machine durability.
The T5 Electro Command can be equipped with 540/65R38 tyres to reduce soil compaction and increase the load capacity in transport operations.
Terralock™ system and heavy duty brakes: improved traction and manoeuvrability and superior stopping performance
The T5 Electro Command range benefits from New Holland’s acclaimed Terralock™ traction management system. Once engaged, the system automatically controls four wheel drive and differential lock engagement through continuous dialogue between speed sensors, the brake pedal and the rear linkage. The system will automatically disengage during tight turns for example, on the headland. Furthermore, this advanced system eliminates the ‘scrubbing’ effect on tyres when turning as the wheels are free to turn and not locked together, consequently, productivity-impacting soil scaring is also reduced. This system is also automatically disengaged when forward speed reaches 15kph for enhanced transport efficiency.
In line with the transmission enhancements, all T5 Electro Commands will benefit from a heavy duty braking system. Brake disk life has been further extended to enhance the already impressive stopping performance. This means that when transporting even the heaviest fully laden trailers, the T5 Electro Command will stop safely and securely.
Powerful and efficient engines: high efficiency Tier 4A compliant Common Rail engines develop up to 114hp
In line with New Holland’s long standing roadmap for sub-120hp machines, the T5 Electro Command will benefit from cutting-edge Cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (CEGR) technology for Tier 4A compliance, developed in collaboration with FPT Industrial. The entire engine installation has been optimised both in terms of packaging, to ensure the T5 Electro Commands’ dimensions remain unaffected as well as delivering outstanding performance. The cooling demands of sub-120hp machines are inherently lower than their high power counterparts, making CEGR the perfect solution.
The T5 Electro Command enables significantly lower fuel bills thanks to the concurrent implementation of an exceptionally efficient CEGR system together and the introduction of Common Rail technology to the 3.4 litre F5C engine.
Auto PTO: effortless PTO implement management
New Holland has introduced its popular Auto PTO feature to the T5 Electro Command. Engaged via a specific switch on the B Pillar, the system is set to automatically disengage drive to the PTO when the implement reaches a predefined distance from the ground, and to reapply it when the implement returns below the pre-set threshold. This system requires zero operator input and protects the PTO shaft from reliability impacting torsional stresses during raising or lowering.
A pre-defined PTO speed is effortlessly maintained courtesy of the fully automated Engine Speed Management (ESM) system: operators simply select the desired PTO working speed and the system keeps the engine speed constant, regardless the load variations, by up or downshifting gears within the selected range.
Advanced PLM™ solutions: full compatibility with EZ-Pilot™ increases yields and reduces input costs
The entire T5 Electro Command range can be specified with guidance solutions to suit individual farming requirements. Operations wishing to enhance precision will opt for the EZ-Pilot™ system. A steering wheel motor is fitted within the steering column itself, which steers the tractor via the received guidance correction signals. All parameters can be checked or set via the intuitive colour touchscreen FM 750 or super wide screen 30cm FM 1000, cab mounted monitors. When combined with the low profile AG25 receiver and used in conjunction with RTK correction signals, accuracy as high as +/- 2.5cm can be achieved. When used together with advanced PLM Software, accurate and uniform fertiliser coverage optimises valuable inputs. Row crop operations and vegetable growers will also be able to carry out precision sowing or between-bed weeding.
