New Holland unveils a T7-270 tractor powered by livestock manure

New Holland will introduce a new methane-powered tractor at a trade show next month in Germany.

The T7-20 runs on gas made from livestock manure as part of the company’s push toward cleaner energy on the farm. New Holland says it delivers 270 horsepower with longer run time and quicker refueling, designed for heavy-duty field and transport work.

The tractor will be available to European producers starting next spring.
