New Holland Agriculture presented in world premiere at Fieragricola 2018, the three renovated models of the T3F compact specialized tractor series. The new generation T3F (the first was in 2013) includes 3 models with powers of 55, 65 and 75 Hp.  Despite the very small overall dimensions, ideal for those who work in small spaces and in the presence of valuable rows, the new specialized tractors provide excellent performance in terms of power and hydraulics. The new New Holland are equipped with powerful 2.9-litre three-cylinder engines, the S8000 series with common rail electronic injection, turbocharger with intercooler and a maintenance-free DOC exhaust gas post-treatment system. Among the strengths of the new series is the 40km/h Synchro Shuttle™ 12x12 transmission, which offers high levels of operational efficiency. The differential lock and the double drive, both electro-hydraulically controlled, are operated at the touch of a button located in an ergonomic position. The performance of the hydraulic system is remarkable: the T3Fs have two hydraulic gear pumps capable of delivering a total overall flow of 84 l/m. A 52-litre-per-minute pump is dedicated to the three auxiliary hydraulic distributors and to the rear attachment capable of lifting up to 2,227kg. A second 32 litre-per-minute pump serves the hydroguide, ensuring maximum ease of driving and responsiveness of the steering even in the event of extremely sharp braking and in applications with more intensive use of hydraulic functions. The renowned New Holland Lift-O-Matic™ system is standard for the entire range, allowing operators to lift and bring the rear-mounted attachments back to the preset work height by operating an ergonomic rocker switch.

Finally, the compact size of the T3F tractors guarantee maximum agility, with a width of only 1,350 mm, allowing operators to switch between narrower rows without damaging the precious crops. The wheelbase of only 1,860 mm, combined with the 45° steering angle, provides a minimal turning radius (just 3.4 metres), reducing turnaround times and making difficult manoeuvres at the end of the row a distant memory.
