6 Things you need to know about the New Holland GENESIS T8

1. It features a longer wheelbase than the competitors:

A longer wheelbase means greater stability at high transport speeds, and more traction for demanding heavy drawbar applications. Other advantages include a smooth, stable ride, yet the sculpted frame design makes these tractors the most manoeuvrable in their class. Built to suit heavy tillage applications, the GENESIS T8 is also ideal for planting, spreading and transport.

2. More power means more productivity:

New Holland is not shy to admit that their GENISIS T8 Series models are the powerful conventional tractors in the world. The current line-up has five models ranging from 250 to 380 rated engine horsepower. Every GENESIS T8 is powered by a state-of-the-art FPT power-plant that boasts award-winning ECOBlue technology. Every GENESIS T8 model benefits from Engine Power Management (EPM) which offers more power in demanding hydraulic, PTO and transport applications. Every GENESIS T8 tractor delivers higher rated and maximum power to boost your output. Look at the numbers. A GENESIS T8.320 has an engine rated at 250 horsepower but with EPM, will produce up to 320 horsepower. The same story is true for every GENESIS T8 model. When you get to the mighty GENESIS T8.435, it has an engine rated horsepower of 380 but will put out up to 435 horsepower using EPM technology.

3. Be smart, fit Trax:

If you need to put more power to the ground then it is worth noting that the T8 Series is compatible with the brands SmartTrax track system. The New Holland SmartTrax rear track system unlocks the true potential of the T8 Series.  The SmartTrax has a larger footprint allowing you to go beyond what is possible with standard tyres for more productive farming. There is a choice of numerous track spacing and belt widths. Some benefits are: reduced compaction, increased efficiency, better traction, and enhanced stability.

4. Change it up a gear:

A choice in transmission further enhances GENESIS T8 versatility. Choose between the Ultra Command transmission—the most powerful full powershift in the business—or the Auto Command continuously variable transmission (CVT) for unsurpassed ease of CVT operation.

5. Intuitive to operate:

All key functions have been perfectly placed for fingertip control and reduced operator fatigue. The 68-decibel, whisper-quiet cab is the most spacious in its class and offers uninterrupted 360° visibility, which has been further improved with the optional split wide-angle electric mirrors. Customers can improve the experience by adding the optional Luxury Performance Cab which includes an Auto Comfort seat. This seat features weight-compensated damping and integrated ventilation.

6. Connectivity at its best:

True innovation doesn’t require an advanced degree to operate. To help customers harness all of the powerful features and technologies built into the new GENESIS T8 tractors, New Holland developed a user-friendly interface that feels as natural and instinctive as agriculture itself. The system also makes use of a new feature called MyPLM Connect, which lets you stay in touch with your machines at all times, from anywhere.
