New Holland T4: compact tractors, engines and trims
New Holland T4 — compact and specialized tractors, produced since 2012. We look at the standard, orchard, narrow and vineyard trims, engines and what to check when buying a used T4.
T4 in brief
New Holland T4 — a series of smaller tractors designed for small to medium-sized farms, orchards, vineyards and municipal work. Nominal power, depending on the model, ranges roughly from 75 to 115 hp.
The series is praised for its compact dimensions, maneuverability and relatively affordable price. Thanks to its versatility, the T4 is often seen in both farms and municipal services.
Trims and purpose
Besides the standard T4, there are specialized trims: orchard (F), narrow (N) and vineyard (V). These differ in width, height and cab and fender design to fit between rows.
When choosing, consider where the tractor will be used: the standard is suitable for open fields, while the narrow trims are ideal for orchards or vineyard rows.
Engines and transmissions
The T4 is powered by four-cylinder FPT diesel engines (around 3.4 and 4.5 liters displacement), meeting various Stage standards. Newer models use SCR technology.
Transmissions are manual with reverse shuttle or semi-automatic (Dual Command). The choice depends on the trim level.
What to check when buying a used T4
Check the engine hours, oil and coolant leaks, turbocharger and hydraulic operation. In specialist tractors, pay attention to any signs of narrow-row work (scratches, bent wings).
Check the gearbox shifts, clutch, front and rear axle play, and lifting mechanism. Inspect the cabin, wheels, and body.

Names and equipment vary by market and production year; we list the versions most commonly found in Europe.
