THE FIRST AGRICULTURAL CROSSOVER
MORE POWER AND PRODUCTIVITY
T8 tractors are the most powerful rigid tractor series available with a full powershift transmission. The
entire range boasts New Holland’s cutting-edge ECOBlue™ SCR technology for Tier 4A compliance.
This means that the Cursor 9 engine enjoys exceptional breathability for a significant performance
advantage. All models benefit from Engine Power Management which offers more power for
demanding PTO, hydraulic and transport applications, with up to 49hp(CV) extra on the T8.390.
ABSOLUTE DRIVING PLEASURE
New Holland’s SideWinder™ II armrest makes the T8 range intuitive to operate for reduced fatigue.
All key functions are immediately recognizable and are perfectly placed for fingertip control.
The 68dB(A) whisper-quiet cab is the most spacious in its segment and offers uninterrupted 360°
visibility. Comfort Ride™ cab suspension ensures the smoothest ride even on the roughest terrain.
STYLISH AND STABLE, POWERFUL AND ABLE. TYPICALLY NEW HOLLAND
New Holland DNA runs through every aspect of the T8 tractor series.
A long wheelbase for stability. A quiet, spacious cab. World class ergonomics. Modern FPT Industrial
power for optimum performance and economy. Heavy duty axles for dual wheels front and rear.
High capacity hydraulics. Brilliant all-round visibility. Great manoeuvrability. Stylish looks.
EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS ON THE ENGINE HOOD
T8 tractors offer improved performance thanks to the Tier 4A ECOBlue™
SCR advantage, and these productivity enhancing characteristics are
immediately obvious to all users. How? Quite simply, it is on the hood.
The first two digits ‘T8’ refer to the tractor’s category and the following
three, for example ‘390’, refer to the maximum engine power the T8
can deliver when its Engine Power Management is active.

MAXIMUM VERSATILITY
T8 tractors were not designed solely for primary arable work. The long wheel base and exceptional
maneuverability ensure the T8 can not just excel at heavy draft applications, they are also perfect for
secondary cultivation, drilling and haulage tasks. The integrated front linkage and PTO means that
a full range of front mounted implements can be fitted and powered.
LOWER OPERATING COST
Operating costs for the new, Tier 4A compliant T8 tractors have been reduced by 17%, thanks
to cutting-edge ECOBlue™ SCR technology, when compared to existing Tier 3 models. This is due to
improved fuel efficiency and long service intervals. Even when the cost of AdBlue®is taken into account.

ENGINE SPEED MANAGEMENT
In applications where a constant PTO speed is required, the operator
can select Engine Speed Management. This will ensure this selected
speed is accurately maintained under changing loads. This means that
a fixed forward speed will be maintained even on challenging terrain.
ENGINE POWER MANAGEMENT
Engine Power Management is a renowned
New Holland tractor feature. In short, the
engine develops more power and torque
according to the load on the transmission,
hydraulics and PTO. On a T8.390 tractor,
EPM will deliver up to 49hp(CV) extra
but only when it is needed to
maintain performance.

GSM TAKES CARE OF IT
When load conditions change in the
field, GSM will automatically maintain
a fixed forward speed. The operator
first sets the desired working speed
and then selects the GSM function.
The automated system will then
match engine and transmission
speeds to maintain this fixed forward
speed, to deliver the perfect balance
between maintaining productivity
without compromising economy.
FULL COMMAND IN TRANSPORT
During road transport, GSM will
automatically shift the transmission
according to load and throttle
settings. The foot pedal will act as
a drive pedal, simply press it down
to upshift to your required speed.
GSM. INTELLIGENT AUTOMATION
New Holland Ground Speed
Management, GSM, is more than
just an automated transmission shift
system. With CVT-like functionality, it
uses a combination of data relating
to engine load, forward speed and
operator setting, to manage both
engine and transmission speeds to
optimise performance and economy.
Simple to set up and extremely efficient,
GSM is well proven and dependable.

wheelbase means greater stability at high transport speeds, faster and more efficient
minimum tillage operations and more traction for demanding heavy drawbar applications.
You no longer have to choose. With New Holland, choice comes as standard.
AXLES & TRACTION14 15
TIME TO GET HEAVY
The heavy duty front axles enables dual
wheels to be fitted for even more traction and
less compaction in demanding situations.
Lock to lock turns are not compromised.
Why? Quite simply due to the forward
position of the front axle and the intelligent
tapered design of the T8 front end.
COMPETITION WHEELBASE

TRANSPORT SAFETY
Control, comfort and stability are assured
with the T8’s long wheel base and front
axle suspension. Specified with the
50kph models is pneumatic trailer brakes
to provide safe high speed haulage.

AXLES & TRACTION16 17
COOL MANOEUVARABILITY
The exceptional manoeuvrability of the T8 is
only possible thanks to the unique hood design.
By using the compact cooling package made
possible by the SCR technology, the T8
achieves the tightest of turning angles.
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. Now it offers the added benefit of an
improved turning angle. Combined with Comfort Ride™ cab suspension,
you can now enjoy a smoother ride with no compromise in agility.

TERRALOCK TRACTION MANAGEMENT
Terralock will automatically manage the
engagement of drive to the front axle and
the locking of the front and rear differentials.
Of equal importance, the system takes care
of drive during a headland turn to optimise
manoeuvrability.
LONG WHEELBASE FOR COMFORT
AND AGILE PRODUCTIVITY
NEW T8 WHEELBASE
COMPETITION WHEELBASE
The T8 range perfectly combines a long, 3450mm wheelbase with
excellent manoeuvrability. Two concepts which don't normally go together
in this segment. How has New Holland achieved it? Quite simply, the
sculpted bonnet and tombstone enable the wheels to nip in tight to
the tractors body, and together with the redesigned Terraglide font axle
suspension, an impressive 55° turning angle for tight headlands turns
is guaranteed. The result? New Holland's hallmark manoeuvrability
for improved productivity and efficiency.
