New Holland offers six models in the high-power T9 category with the 390, 450, 505, 560, 615 and 670 models. Responding to the needs of row-crop producers, the T9 series has a slimmed engine hood for improved forward visibility and inboard planetary drive axles for narrow wheel width settings. This is reflected in the T9.390 to T9.560 with 300 to 500 hp on a 36-inch-wide frame best suited for row crop. For broad acre work, the wider frame T9.615 and T9.670, with 535 and 600 hp respectively, deliver more power to the wheels.
These New Holland tractors are powered by the new Cursor 9 and Cursor 13 engines, which employ New Holland s ECOBlue technology with SCR and deliver increased horsepower while using less fuel and meeting Tier 4A emission standards. According to New Holland, the results are machines that cover more acres in a day, saving both time and money. The Cursor 13 engines that power the T9.615 and T9.670 have a two-stage turbocharger, one feeding the other, increasing torque for the toughest field conditions.
