New Holland T5 Dual Command tractor range makes debut

The new T5 Dual Command tractor range was showcased publicly at Sommet de l’ Élevage fair 2024, France, in early October.

Upgraded capacity for increased productivity

The renewed T5 Dual Command comes with a broader rear tyre offering and a choice of front axles – a standard unit for lighter work and narrow applications, or a new HD axle for tractors expected to perform heavy loader work and intensive field tasks.

In addition, a SuperSteer™ front axle option, unique to New Holland, features a 76° steering angle to further enhance manoeuvrability and productivity on tight headland turns, small fields, and in farmyards. The 2.35m wheelbase blends this mobility with stability.

Tractors fitted with the standard front axle benefit from a 20% increase in steering capacity under load for faster turns, while a more robust HD axle increases the authorised gross vehicle weight to 7,000kg. When fitted with 38in rear tyres, T5 tractors combine high ground clearance of 480mm and low overall height below 2.67m, minimising crop damage risk and maximizing building accessibility.

T5 Dual Command models also gain a rear lift capacity boost of 7% to 4,700kg, while a new 82l/min hydraulic pump provides 30% more hydraulic flow, for fast implement headland engagement and quick loader cycle times.

Improved technology combined with more comfort

Transmission in the new T5 Dual Command models is the established Dual Command 24F/24R unit, with four speeds, three ranges, and a two-speed powershift, plus electronic shuttle.

A new auto differential lock and auto 4wd engagement on T5 Dual Command models simplifies headland turns, while a new maintenance-free, quieter, and easy to engage wet disc front PTO delivers more comfort and versatility.

Externally, new T5 tractors feature fresh styling with new front and side grilles plus new decals matching those on New Hollands latest machines. A new U-shaped exhaust ensures forward vision is least restricted, while upgraded worklights and headlights with an optional LED light package enhance vision and safety, and there are new ‘signature’ LED lights.

T5 Dual Command tractors benefit from mechanical Comfort Ride cab suspension, for a smoother ride in field and on road. These models also feature a new digital instrument cluster with a reviewed design that makes information easier to read.

With demand increasing among utility tractor owners for the same standards of precision farming technology established in higher power models, new T5 Dual Command models can be equipped with telematics and a full suite of precision farming technologies, including autoguidance, the IntelliView 12 touchscreen terminal and ISOBUS Class 2 implement connection. Real-time data machine monitoring – including precise location and duty status – plus remote viewing of in-cab displays and visualisation of agronomic data layers can be managed for numerous machine ranges through the New Holland FieldOps platform available worldwide.

The first of the new T5 Dual Command will be arriving at New Holland dealers later this year.
