New Holland to Showcase Updated Telehandlers at FTMTA
New Holland Agriculture will showcase updates to its telehandler range, and present its new range of implements at the Farm Tractor & Machinery Trade Association Farm Machinery Show (FTMTA) on 7 – 9 February 2019, which many farmers will see for the first time.
Its latest tractors and forage harvester will also be displayed across two stands (356 – outdoor, and 322 – indoor) at the FTMTA event at Punchestown Racecourse, Co. Kildare, where farmers can enter a competition to win the use of a T6.180 DCT tractor for three months.
New TH Series telehandlers
New Holland’s six to nine meter telehandler range has been extended and upgraded. The most visible change is to the livery colour, which changes from blue to yellow and is now consistent with the brand’s well-known harvesting and baling products. The new Series name consists of the letters TH (for telescopic handler) followed by numbering which relates to the key machine specifications.
The TH Series has been extended from the pervious LM Series to offer six models and 14 versions, offering solutions to suit the varying operational requirements of Irish farming businesses. The entry level S version, available on the TH6.32 and TH7.32, delivers a powerful performance with its 133 hp engine and simple specifications for a small investment.
The Classic version, available on six, seven and nine metre models, is ideal for small livestock farmers and farmyard use. It features a limited-slip differential in the rear axle to increase traction in demanding conditions, variable displacement hydraulic pump and reversible cooling fan for high efficiency all-day-long.
The Plus version, perfect for livestock and mixed farming operations, adds a host of comfort features, such as the air-suspension seat, telescopic steering column and HVAC system. A hydraulic quick coupler makes it very easy and fast to change attachments, and rear cab lights enhance safe operation after dark.
