May 16, 2008 - New Holland Introduces New Bidirectional™ Tractor with New Engine, More Productivity

New Holland, PA– New Holland’s new TV6070 Bidirectional™ tractor offers visibility and versatility that no other tractor in the market can offer.  The TV6070 features a new 6.7L engine, a more efficient eight-range transmission, and other improvements designed to enhance the productivity of this unique tractor.

Like its predecessors, the new TV6070 Bidirectional tractor can be operated cab-end or engine-end first to provide unparalleled versatility, productivity and exceptional loader performance. An operator can work facing either the engine or the rear because the exclusive Turnabout™ console rotates the seat and primary controls 180 degrees so the operator always faces the work.

Both ends of the tractor can be equipped with 3-point hitches, PTO systems, hydraulic valves, and drawbars.  Depending on the application, the TV6070 can push and pull implements simultaneously.  Full-time four-wheel drive and 45-degree articulated steering provide excellent traction and maneuverability in any conditions.

New engine

The TV6070 features a new 6.7L (411cu.in.) fuel-efficient diesel engine with mechanical fuel injection. This engine meets Tier III engine emission standards, and can operate on diesel fuel or any biodiesel blend up to B100 that meets ASTM 6751 fuel quality standards. The tractor is rated at 105 PTO hp.  An optional reversing engine cooling fan helps keep the radiators cleaner when the tractor is used in applications where a lot of chaff or dust is present.

Efficient hydrostatic transmission, eight operating ranges

The TV6070 transmission now has eight operating ranges, with a total ground speed selection of 0 – 19 mph depending on tire choice. The operator selects a range, and then has infinite control of the tractor’s speed with the drive control handle. The range can be shifted on-the-go as needed. If the tractor encounters a steep hill or heavy resistance, the transmission controller will automatically downshift the range, and then return to the operator’s selection when the load is reduced.

One tractor, many uses

While not designed for heavy tillage work, the TV6070 excels at loader work, and mowing hay, spraying, baling hay, spreading manure, and most other chores around the farm. Because the TV6070 can carry implements at the rear and on the engine-end, many jobs can be done faster by “doubling-up” attachments.  For example, two round bales can be carried with the loader and a third one on the engine-end 3-point hitch. Hay can be cut and conditioned up to 35’ at a time by pushing a sickle header and pulling another one. Snow can be cleared faster with a blower on one end and a blade on the other one.
