New Holland presents latest innovation at Agritechnica 2025

New Holland’s heritage of innovation and style is being spotlighted at Agritechnica 2025. The show sees the debut of the T5.120 ‘Il Trattore’ styling concept tractor, celebrating the enduring legacy of research and development, engineering, and design expertise that began with the first Fiat tractor, the Fiat 702, which will be displayed alongside.

The manufacturer explained that the Il Trattore name signifies the importance of streamlined technology that defines the general-purpose tractor, which can take on any task, the essence of that first Fiat tractor and of today’s T5 range. The tractor also underlines New Holland’s commitment to crafting farm machinery that blends style and innovation.

Il Trattore is New Holland’s homage to the iconic 702, one of the earliest mass-produced tractors. Developed to address the labour shortages created by World War I, the 702 introduced a design that marked a turning point in agricultural mechanisation.

With a four-cylinder engine and load-bearing powertrain, it answered the demands from European farmers for mechanical power to ease physical strain and improve agricultural output. Its success helped establish Fiat’s enduring reputation for agricultural excellence alongside that of Italy’s engineers for innovation and design.

Based on the range-topping model designed and manufactured at New Holland’s Jesi factory in Italy, Il Trattore bears striking green and red colouring and styling inspired by the original Fiat 702.

T7 XD series

New Holland is launching a completely new series of T7 XD tractors, engineered to satisfy the specific needs of large-scale farmers and contractors.

The manufacturer said that the T7 XD represents a new high-hp category in the New Holland tractor line-up, with three models in the 350hp+ bracket that offer the flexibility to perform operations from ballasted heavy draft work to high payload haulage and combination front/rear implement tasks.

“The T7 XD will extend the compact design, versatility, and excellent power-to-weight ratio characteristics of our T7 family into the high-horsepower segment.

“The new range will appeal to customers looking for that all-round capability, from heavy field work, demanding PTO or hydraulic tasks, to high-speed haulage; the T7 XD has the features that can deliver this,” said New Holland T7 global product manager Richard Hollins.

The 360hp T7.360 XD, 390hp T7.390 XD and 435hp T7.440 XD are designed around a Stage V 8.7-litre FPT Cursor 9 six-cylinder engine mounted on a structural sump. This design minimises vibration and eliminates the need for support rails, keeping the tractor waist narrow, aiding manoeuvrability and forward vision.

New Roll-Belt

New Holland confirmed it is building even more technology, connectivity and durability into its variable-chamber round balers with the new Roll-Belt 180 PLUS (producing bales up to 1.8m diameter) and 150 PLUS (up to 1.5m diameter). Multiple feeding options, strengthened components and upgraded technology mean maximum throughput and minimum downtime, helping customers do more in short weather windows.

Agritechnica 2025 also marks the European debut of Nature’s Net Wrap – a compostable bale wrap developed by a Canadian company supported since early 2024 through a CNH investment. Now available to European farmers and fully compatible with all New Holland balers, Nature’s Net Wrap represents a major step forward in sustainable farming, helping save time, reduce costs, and minimise environmental impact.

T4F.120F

New Holland’s new top-of-the-range T4F.120F Auto Command tractor also debuts this November, with its first public appearance at Agritechnica 2025.

Building on a strong legacy in the speciality fruit and vineyard sector, the introduction of the T4.120F completes the range, giving customers all the options and products needed to help manage their speciality business, the manufacturer said.

Designed with comfort and innovation in mind, the new T4.120F model introduces in-house developed Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with a 50 km/h ECO mode – a first in the speciality tractor segment – and high-capacity 115 l/min Closed Center Load Sensing (CCLS) hydraulics. It features advanced ergonomic controls and telematics integration – now available as a factory-fit option – to bring big-field precision and connectivity to speciality crop environments.

Marco Gerbi, Specialty & Small Tractor, Loader & Telehandler New Holland global product manager, said: “The new T4F Auto Command is packed with high-end specifications typically found on larger, more powerful models in the New Holland lineup; technology and features rarely seen on narrow tractors for vineyards and fruit farms.

“These new options elevate performance, comfort, and productivity and set a global standard in this segment.”

Hybrid prototype telehandler

At Agritechnica 2025, New Holland is unveiling a hybrid full-size telehandler prototype that redefines practicality in alternative-fuel farm equipment. This breakthrough combines the autonomy and power farmers need—without the run-time limitations of battery-only machines or the reliance on fossil fuels of diesel models, New Holland said.

Its maximum lift height/weight figures of 7-9m/4.2t and industry-first combination of electric and natural gas as power sources position it as the first machine of its kind designed specifically for typical agricultural applications. It achieves this without compromising lift capacity, height, power, or autonomy compared to a typical mid-size farm handler.

Currently at a testing phase, the machine features an electric drivetrain connected to a supplementary battery/electric power system. It operates fully electrically for up to four hours on medium-heavy tasks and up to six hours on light-duty cycles.

During heavy-duty work, a four-cylinder F28 methane gas engine from FPT provides supplementary power and simultaneously recharges the battery. Flexibility is further extended through battery fast-charging.

The manufacturer added that the electric-methane configuration makes all-day independent operation possible without refuelling/recharging. Electricity generated on-farm via solar or anaerobic digestion (AD) plants can also be used to recharge the batteries for fully renewable fuelling.

W170D+ Forage Power and FR Forage Cruiser

The event also showcases New Holland’s two big developments to boost contractors’ silage handling capabilities: the W170D+ Forage Power, a new wheel loader specifically designed for clamping, and the new FR Forage Cruiser forage harvesters, featuring the award-winning ForageCam, upgraded maize headers, and improved crop flow.

The new Forage Power is a direct evolution of the W170D and marks a turning point in New Holland’s Light Equipment strategy, which is increasingly focused on offering solutions built around the precise needs of agricultural operators.

Gaston Le Chevalier, business operations, New Holland light equipment Europe, said: “For silage contractors, standard wheel loaders often struggle with speed on steep slopes, fuel autonomy during long working days, and drive comfort during farm-to-farm travel.

“The W170D+ Forage Power is built to address these challenges, with an operating weight of 16.4 tonnes, 1,300 Nm of engine torque, and 255 hp peak power. A 400-litre diesel tank ensures full-day fuel autonomy, while a top speed approaching 50 km/h – maintained via a fixed engine speed function – means efficient road travel. Additionally, its 4.54-metre hinge pin height maximises its loading capabilities.

“It is a perfect complement to the New Holland forage harvesting product line and represents a decisive step towards the creation of a fully interconnected range, with each machine contributing to optimised productivity, whether in the field or at the clamp.

“Other key benefits include excellent stability, highly effective cooling, and exceptional comfort. This is a design specifically equipped with the agricultural features required by silage contractors and biomass plants.”
