(July 14, 2003) - Responding to customer need and demand for more power
to pull increasingly larger implements, New Holland is introducing a new
500 hp tractor to its four-wheel drive TJ tractor line. The new tractor
offers impressive power growth of up to 50 hp and a torque rise of 39%,
allowing it to pull bigger and heavier equipment even in tough
conditions.
Many improvements
Though based on the same
frame and components as the TJ450, the TJ500
offers more than just more horsepower. The TJ500 operates at 100 rpms
faster than the TJ450. It has a larger air induction system, uses larger
tires, has improved hydraulics, and uses a 24-volt starting system with
a 12-volt operating system.
Greater efficiency and performance
The TV145 model features
a new, more efficient cooling system. The grill
surface on the hood has been increased by 40% to allow for improved
cooling. The hydraulic system has been redesigned for improved
performance in cold weather operations.
The TJ500 is powered by a
fuel-efficient Cummins QSX 15L engine. A
16-speed full powershift transmission allows for smooth shifting and
fingertip control. The tractor also features a standard 42-gpm hydraulic
pump capacity, integral hydraulic wet disk brakes, and a 300-gallon
fuel
tank.
Like the entire TJ line,
the TJ500 can be equipped with New Holland's
exclusive MegaFlow(tm) hydraulics, which offers up to 90 gpm of
hydraulic flow through two independent pump systems.
