New Holland GENESIS® T8 Series with PLM Intelligence™ - T8.350

TRACTION WITHOUT QUESTION.

The GENESIS® T8 range has the longest wheelbase in the segment. Ultra Command™ models boast a 136” (345.4 cm) wheelbase, and 140” (355.6 cm) on the T8.435. That is a full 10” (25.4 cm) longer than the nearest competitor. A longer wheelbase means greater stability at high transport speeds, is easier to ballast with better weight transfer, and more traction for demanding heavy drawbar applications.

The GENESIS® T8 range features up-rated front axles in line with its 20 ton (18.1 MT) gross vehicle weight, which means that you can work with even heavier attachments with ease. Terraglide™ front axle suspension is a standard feature and its twin dampers and accumulators deliver a silky smooth ride. The engine and subframe have been designed to maximize turning performance, so that the front wheels can nip in tight against the sculpted sump and tombstone for tight turning.

NEW HOLLAND GENESIS® T8. A WHEELED ADVANTAGE OVER

Reduced turning circle. Mounted far forward, the front axle is matched to a tapered engine hood. This allows the hubs to turn to a full lock of 55 degrees, even when large front tires or dual wheels are fitted.

Class leading maneuverability. With a turn radius of just 16 ft. (4.9 m), a wheeled GENESIS® T8 tractor can turn tighter and return to work faster.

BRAKE ASSIST FOR TIGHTER TURNING

In order to deliver enhanced turning performance, the brake assist feature has been developed for the GENESIS® T8 range. As soon as the turn is initiated, a controlled braking force is applied to the rear inside wheel to assist in delivering tighter turns.

SAFE BRAKING TECHNOLOGY

The GENESIS® T8 comes standard with an engine exhaust brake, which is activated by a foot pedal, or the Auto Command™ transmission ratio can be manually locked while braking. Pushing the shuttle button on the CommandGrip™ multifunction handle in the direction of travel will lock the transmission ratio. This provides increased engine braking but also allows the tractor and trailer to slow at the same rate, avoiding the risk of a jack-knife situation on slippery surfaces.

HEAVY DUTY AXLES FOR HEAVY DUTY PERFORMANCE

The heavy duty axle is fitted to the T8.435 as standard. The 5 in. (127 mm) bar axle is designed to cope with the massive power and torque developed from the Cursor 9 engine and transmit it into tractive force. It can also accommodate the largest 7 ft. (2.15 m) tires, such as the 900/60R42 option.

CUSTOMSTEER™ VARIABLE RATIO STEERING

The optional CustomSteer function puts you in control of steering wheel inputs. Through the IntelliView™ 12 monitor or via a dedicated switch, you can control just how many turns of the wheel are required for lock-to-lock functionality. If you want to conduct tight turns, say when turning on the headland, you can program the tractor to deliver lock-to-lock turning with anything as few as one complete steering wheel revolution, instead of the standard four. CustomSteer saves you times and effort. 

ADVANCED TRACTION MANAGEMENT

The New Holland Terralock™ system enables the operator to simply select the traction package needed for a specific application. Terralock will then manage drive to the front axle and engage and release the differential locks automatically. During a headland turn or moving from work to transport, Terralock will unlock the differentials and four wheel drive without operator intervention.

TERRAGLIDE™ FRONT AXLE SUSPENSION

New Holland Terraglide front axle suspension is proven to protect the tractor, mounted implements and the operator from heavy shock loads during transport and in the field. In the field the advanced suspension system maintains contact between the tire and the ground to improve traction. Full suspension travel is always maintained thanks to the system adapting to changes in the weight applied to the front of the tractor.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM

Operators can check the pressure of up to 16 tires with the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). Sensors on each tire transmit via wireless to an antenna within the cab roof. For each tire the operator can input the ideal working pressure for a specific task. The pressure values are saved against the implement name within the IntelliView™ 12 monitor, so you only need store settings once. An on screen warning then alerts the operator if the pressures are not in line with the ideal value. The TPMS benefits operational efficiency, warning if the pressures are set incorrectly, and provides an early warning of any potential punctures on a trailer for example.

SEMI-ACTIVE COMFORT RIDE™ CAB SUSPENSION

The optional Semi-Active cab suspension system uses a network of sensors which monitor cab position, velocity and acceleration, together with cab pitch and roll to automatically adjust the individually controlled hydro-pneumatic rear cab suspension struts to ensure the smoothest ride. The operator can select from three different modes normal, soft - used to absorb large bumps, ideal when working in soft and rough terrain at slow speeds or hard - ideal when working at higher speeds and during road transport.
