The jury panel of 24 leading farm equipment journalists from across Europe analysed and tested in the field the shortlisted tractors for two months before making their decision and judging the T5.120 to be the best.

New Holland say they have improved their popular T5 tractor range - one of the best sellers in its power bracket in Europe - to not only meet Tier 4B emissions regulations, but also to incorporate a host of new features designed to boost comfort, efficiency and productivity.

“New Holland has traditionally been very strong in serving this sector of agriculture with tractors in this power bracket, and the T5 Tier 4B developments are designed to build on that,” explains Sean Lennon, Head of Tractors, Telehandlers and PLM Product Management.

Carlo Lambro, Brand President New Holland Agriculture, added: “The Best Utility 2017 title is testament to New Holland’s long-standing leadership of the mid-powered segment. This award is a well deserved recognition of the hard work and dedication of all those involved in the development of the T5.120 tractor series, from our engineering teams to the whole Jesi plant team, developing a tractor meeting the specific requests made by our customers.”
