Forward of Agritechnica, New Holland has expanded its providing with the launch of the W170D+ Forage Energy, a brand new wheel loader particularly designed for silage clamping, a key utility for silage contractors and biomass processing vegetation.
“For silage contractors, customary wheel loaders usually battle with pace on steep ramps, gas autonomy throughout lengthy working days, and drive consolation throughout farm-to-farm travels. The W170D+ Forage Energy is constructed to deal with these challenges with an working weight of 16.4 tonnes, it delivers 1,300Nm of engine torque and a peak energy output of 255hp. A 350-litre diesel tank ensures full-day gas autonomy, whereas a high pace approaching 50 km/h – maintained through a hard and fast engine pace operate – helps environment friendly transport. Moreover, its 4.54-metre hinge pin top enhances loading capabilities,” says Gaston Le Chevalier enterprise operations New Holland Gentle Tools Europe. “Different key advantages embrace stability, excessive effectiveness cooling, and distinctive consolation. Its design is particularly tailor-made for silage contractors and biomass vegetation, that want particular agriculture options.”
The brand new Forage Energy, a direct evolution of the W170D, includes a 6.7L FPT engine gives over 1,300Nm of torque at 1,300RPM, providing 37% extra torque and 30% extra energy in comparison with the usual W170D.
Engine efficiency is transmitted to the bottom by means of a 6-speed transmission with lock-up clutch energetic from 1st gear, a entrance axle with a 100% self-locking differential, and a restricted slip rear axle to help with traction on slippery surfaces.
The diesel tank capability has been elevated to 350 litres to make sure lengthy days of labor with out intermediate refuelling, even in probably the most gas demanding circumstances.
The engine pace management operate permits operators to take away their proper foot from the throttle pedal throughout routine farm-to-farm journey. When paired with the utmost pace of 48kph, journeys could be accomplished extra successfully and comfortably.
The rear mounted engine acts as a pure counterweight, supported by one of many longest wheelbases in its class for max payload, a key metric for biogas plant feeding.
The ergonomic cab with adjustable pneumatic seat, 8″ touchscreen and one-piece panoramic windscreen with full glazing from roof to flooring guarantee most visibility to the entrance. Rear visibility is facilitated by a small engine compartment, electrically adjustable rear-view mirrors and a 178° vast angle digital camera. A robust full LED lighting system completes the providing. An elective rear impediment detection radar gadget can be obtainable.
To make sure cleanliness and reliability even in dusty environments with plant particles, New Holland has built-in the tried-and-tested Cooling Dice system with a reversible fan.
