Future-ready farming: New Holland T7 SWB

New Holland has unveiled the latest generation of its T7 Standard Wheelbase (SWB) tractors, bringing advanced upgrades to the 180-225hp category

Designed for the modern farmer, the new T7 SWB models offer improved efficiency, smarter technology, and greater comfort—without compromising on the compact design that defines the series.

A major highlight is the redesigned front axle, engineered for better ride comfort and sharper manoeuvrability. With dual accumulators and a tighter turning radius—reduced by 17%—headland turns are now smoother and quicker. Despite keeping the familiar 2,789mm wheelbase, the new models can handle a higher gross vehicle weight of 13.5 tonnes and a 5.5-tonne maximum payload, making them class leaders.

Aesthetic changes include the new Dynamic Blue colour scheme, setting the tone for future New Holland models. “We’ve completely reimagined the key design features of the T7 Standard Wheelbase tractor range,” said Manfred Pfleger, global product manager at New Holland. “Significant upgrades include a new cab design, a new operator interface and armrest, and a more compact front end. These changes aim to boost productivity and performance while ensuring greater comfort and control.”

Performance is a key focus. The T7.225, fitted with the Dynamic Command transmission, set a new PowerMix fuel efficiency record in its class at the DLG test centre, achieving just 243g/kWh. The Stage V FPT NEF 6.7-litre engine has also been fine-tuned with a new power curve to deliver more output at lower RPMs, reducing fuel use and engine noise. Service intervals stretch up to 750 hours, and the increased fuel and AdBlue capacities - 350L and 48L respectively mean fewer stops and more time in the field.

Transmission options across the range include the new 3x1-range Auto Command CVT for the T7.180, T7.190, and T7.210, and a choice of Auto Command or Dynamic Command for the T7.225. Operators also benefit from a reworked interior featuring the SideWinder armrest, IntelliView 12 touchscreen, and CommandGrip handle, all designed to deliver intuitive control and maximum operator comfort.

Connectivity comes standard on all models, offering remote diagnostics and data-driven support, ensuring smarter farming and proactive maintenance. With this new lineup, New Holland blends heritage with innovation paving the way for a more efficient and connected future in agriculture.
