All models can be equipped with a CAT IV–N quick-hitch rear linkage, convertible to CAT III on standard frame models. Lift capacity rises to more than 20,000 pounds on standard frame tractors, in line with the high power output of the T9.560. A 20-spline 1000-rpm speed PTO option is also available.
It takes experience to ballast an articulated tractor correctly. Get the weights wrong, and performance, fuel use, soil compaction and productivity can all suffer. At New Holland we have established ballast guidelines that make it easier to optimise ballast, with purpose-developed weight packs that can be tailored to match your needs.
A heat-treated two-position agricultural solid bar is fitted to standard frame models. A heavy-duty Class 5 is offered on wide-chassis models. Max permissible tongue weight can reach up 15,000 pounds on Ag models and 20,000 pounds on scraper models, dependent on drawbar choice.
