New Holland has launched the T9 SmartTrax with PLM Intelligence for jobsites with varying terrain. The solution is equipped with features designed for performance and to simplify routine maintenance.
“The T9 SmartTrax with PLM Intelligence reflects our legacy for pushing boundaries,” explained Ken Paul, product marketing manager, high horsepower tractors for New Holland. “It’s more than an enhanced track system. It’s a commitment to farmers built on the basis of innovation, efficiency, capability and versatility.”
Design
The inclusion of oscillating roller wheels and vibration dampening mount suspension in the track system contributes to elevated ride quality and prevents uneven wear during field-to-field transportation. To ensure ease of daily maintenance, clear track system hubcaps have been integrated, providing straightforward access to critical components.
The new track system for the T9 tractor also supports maintenance and optimizes tension by eliminating manual adjustments with its automatic track tensioning system — this update can contribute to lengthening the lifespan of the track belt.
Available for agricultural use on five model year 2025 T9 models — T9.520, T9.580, T9.615, T9.655 and T9.700 — that range from 475 to 645 rated horsepower, the SmartTrax system offers performance in a variety of terrains.
Operation
Coupling access to a range of different high horsepower T9 models and an increase in top vehicle speed, operators will see an improvement in road speed, now up to 25 mph. The solution promotes field-to-field transportation that help keep every piece of the operation moving.
Offering flexibility for various applications, the T9 SmartTrax has multiple track belt options available. They include two width choices — 30 in. and 36 in. — and three different belt brands to choose from.
Another feature incorporated into the design of the T9 SmartTrax is swinging cab entry steps. These automatically pivot as the tractor is articulated, keeping the ladder from extending beyond the tracks and allowing for easier entry and exit from the cab.
“Productivity is central to the T9 SmartTrax. With this system, we’re putting in place unmatched track performance that’s cutting down on non-productive tractor time, like field-to-field movement and breaks to refuel, to maximize operator efficiency in the field and minimize time spent on the job,” said Paul.
