- New Holland launches new SpecialtyOps digital platform designed specifically to ease data recording and management for orchard and vineyard owners
- AutoCommand CVT option introduces fuel-saving and operating ease benefits proven on larger tractors with New Holland continuously variable transmission
- Award-winning Specialty Vision Sensor, developed in-house in Modena, Italy, previews guidance and sprayer automation capabilities planned for 2027
New Holland brings tractors, automation, connectivity and digital tools together in a growing ecosystem for vineyard and orchard customers.
At its centre is SpecialtyOps™, a new platform developed initially for Europe around the row-by-row needs of vineyards, orchards and other high-value crop businesses’ operations. Following its European introduction, the digital solution is planned to be extended to North America.
The launch also introduces the Auto Command™ continuously variable transmission to the T4 F/N/V Fruit, Narrow and Vineyard tractor range, bringing the fuel efficiency and ease-of-use benefits already proven on larger New Holland tractors.
Powered by FPT F36 four-cylinder engines from 90 to 120 hp, the latest T4 F/N/V tractors combine performance, comfort and technology. SpecialtyOps™ extends this connected approach beyond the tractor, simplifying data recording and management to support better-informed decisions.
New SpecialtyOps™ platform eases management and monitoring
Developed to complement FieldOps™, SpecialtyOps™ tracks, manages, and optimizes high-value crop activities at row level. A single sign-on allows customers to access SpecialtyOps™ using their existing FieldOps™ credentials, and customers can access machine data, field activity and mobile workflows. This enables them to:
- Track: By connecting a smartphone to a compatible GPS antenna via Bluetooth.
- Trace: Log and review every work activity — from chemical applications and machine locations to manual tasks.
- Map: Turn field activity and machine data into clear, row-level insights.
SpecialtyOps™ responds to the practical needs of customers working with high-value crops, where operations are organised around individual rows, different crop varieties and repeated activities throughout the season.
A central feature is the New Holland Marketplace, an open digital space where customers can access and purchase additional products and services, includingselected third-party technologies and specialised services, such as additional agronomic information, sensors, weather data and other decision-support tools.
This open approach makes SpecialtyOps™ relevant across mixed fleets and different types of specialty equipment.
SpecialtyOps™ is free to use for its core functions, while additional hardware, services and marketplace solutions can be added according to customer requirements.
New AutoCommand CVT adds fuel-saving third transmission option
The T4 F/N/V family is now extended with a further transmission option in addition to the established Synchro/Powershuttle and DualCommand Hi/Lo transmissions,
This two-range continuously variable transmission has been developed to provide the ideal forward speeds for both specialist field work and transport. Minimum speed of approximately 30m/h provides precise control for low-speed operations.
ECO mode enables 40 km/h travel at a 1500 rpm engine speed and – where available – 50 km/h at 1780 rpm, helping reduce transport time, fuel use and noise.
Three front axle options meet different operating needs: standard configuration, SuperSteer™ pivoting front axle for tight turns at row ends, and TerraGlide™ suspended front axle for greater comfort.
Intensive front, mid and rear hydraulic implement demands are met by a 115 l/min closed-centre load-sensing hydraulic pump, and up to five rear remote valves, with additional right- and left-side hydraulic connections depending on configuration.
Technology to ease operator and owner workloads
The T4 F/N/V range brings large-tractor technology, comfort and automation into a compact package for specialty applications.
The BlueCab™ combines a 69-decibel in-cab noise level with Level 4 filtration for spraying operations, while the IntelliView™12 touchscreen supports machine and implement management, including remote viewing by authorised owners, managers and dealers.
Headland Turn Sequencing II and IntelliTurn™ automate row-end implement functions and maneuvers, helping reduce fatigue and improve accuracy.
IntelliSteer™ guidance uses the latest Cygnus receiver to provide accuracy down to 2.5 cm with RTK correction. ISOBUS Class II supports compatible implement control through the touchscreen, while Tractor Implement Management enables compatible equipment to control selected tractor functions.
Award-winning Advanced Vision Assisted Guidance previews further automation
Also showcased on the T4 F/N/V at EIMA 2026 is New Holland’s award-winning Specialty Vision Sensor, previewing technology planned for launch in 2027.
Winner of an EIMA Technical Innovation Award in 2024, the system was developed completely in-house by New Holland’s team in Modena, Italy.
It uses LiDAR-based vision technology rather than GPS to guide the tractor within orchard and vineyard rows, manage headland turns and support perception-based implement control.
The technology also automates spraying. With a trailed ISOBUS sprayer, it can control the left and right sections at row ends, detect missing trees or plants and stop spraying where no crop is present. Applying product only where required can reduce crop-protection inputs, water use and operating costs.
By automating repetitive steering and implement functions, the Specialty Vision Sensor reduces operator workload and improves precision. Together with the T4 F/N/V, Auto Command™ CVT and SpecialtyOps™, it demonstrates New Holland’s integrated approach to specialty crops, connecting the tractor, implement, automation and digital management tools.
