On test New Holland T7.230

摘要

New Holland's cab feels aged, which is no surprise given that the same frame has been used on T6 and T7 models, as well as Case Maxxum and Puma equivalents, since 2003. Minor updates to the roof, lights and controls have come since, but the package isdistinctly old-fashioned compared with slicker rivals.Materials remain robust, which is obviously the priority, but the likes of Valtra and John Deere now offer something far more comfortable, brighter and with better views, thanks to a clever arrangement of pillars, roof and glazing.Engine noise is the biggest issue and there is little insulation to soften the roar during intense cultivations work. We found it particularly offensive after spending too much time in the Deere, which offers unfathomable serenity.
