“We are committed to safer, more sustainable machines that respect the environment,” said Rafael Villanueva, New Holland Special Crop Marketing Manager. One example of this is the development of the Tier 4A engines, which in addition to complying with the most demanding emission standards, ensure greater power and productivity, and lower consumption. “We are the first to launch it in Spain,” Ramón Maya, marketing director for the firm, said.
The company has introduced to the sector its T4 F / N / V series, which in addition to improving the power and performance of its predecessors, offers advanced cab filtration, a more powerful hydraulic system and a new front lift and PTO package

Javier Calvo has highlighted New Holland’s absolute leadership in the olive sector, a segment that covers almost 100%
