New Holland T6.180 Methane Power

T6.180 Methane Power

POWERED BY NATURE
A promising concept is now a production-ready reality. The T6.180 Methane Power tractor marks a first in the industry, designed to minimize emissions while maximizing your profitability and productivity with unimpeded performance. Farms with a biodigester can take the next step in becoming energy self-sufficient by producing biomethane to power the tractor, which in turn can help cultivate crops or tend to livestock. For others, this tractor is a logical addition to constantly expanding fleets of compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles to further reduce emissions footprints.

ENGINE

SAME PERFORMANCE AS DIESEL
A 6.7L, 6-cylinder engine provides the same torque and maximum boosted engine horsepower as its diesel counterpart, but with quieter operation, less vibration, and an estimated 30% reduction in running costs to further enhance your bottom line. This engine is compatible with biomethane and compressed natural gas (CNG), utilizing stoichiometric combustion that was pioneered in 1995 for clean combustion and low emissions. Gas injectors and spark plugs replace the diesel injector, with gas being injected into each cylinder for constant, clean combustion.

TRANSMISSION

GEARED FOR YOU
To reduce fatigue, the Electro Command™ semi-powershift transmission offers you clutchless gear changes. Equipped with AutoShift™ means that shifting is taken care of for you within each range. For extensive roading, choose the 31-mph (50-kph) transmission to speed up travel between fields or jobs, or select the Economy transmission that operates at reduced engine speed to enhance fuel economy.

Transmission offering:

• 16x16 semi-powershift with AutoShift, 25 mph (40 kph)
• 17x16 Economy semi-powershift with AutoShift, 25 mph (40 kph)

HORIZON™ CAB

YOUR VIEW OF PRODUCTIVITY
The Horizon™ cab provides you with day-long comfort and productivity. The already exceptionally low 69-decibel noise level further benefits from an engine that is five decibels quieter during operation with less vibration compared to its diesel counterpart. A generous 63 square feet of glass and a high-visibility roof panel deliver superior all-around visibility.

FRONT AXLE

TERRAGLIDE™ FOR COMFORT AND STABILITY
For increased productivity in the field and maximum comfort at high transport speeds, choose the Terraglide front axle suspension system. This system offers a longer wheelbase plus up to four inches of travel for better stability, control and drawbar pull. Not only does it cushion you from shocks when traveling over uneven surfaces, it also maintains contact between the tire and the ground to improve traction. Terraglide also features anti-dive and anti-squat logic which prevents excessive suspension movement when lifting heavy three-point hitch implements. The result? Less fatigue over long working days, as whole-body movements are significantly reduced.

HYDRAULICS ＆ 3-PT HITCH

REMOTES
The T6.180 Methane Power tractor comes standard with two mechanical rear remotes. Three or four mechanical remote valves are optional. Two or three electrohydraulic mid-mount remote valves are also available to operate a front loader. These remotes are controlled with an ergonomic, fully-integrated joystick.

PRECISION LAND MANAGEMENT

CONNECTED TO MORE BENEFITS
With the T6.180 Methane Power, you can also benefit from the fleet management and agronomic services offered through the MyPLM™ Connect Portal. These services enable you to improve logistics, manage prescription maps, and create reporting and accountability that, together with accurate auto guidance, maximize your efficiency.
