New Holland’s articulated-frame large tractors were virtually unknown in Europe—except in Great Britain and the former Soviet Union. In the autumn of 2010, however, the T9 was introduced into a broader import program. All models were now powered by FPT’s 8.7- and 12.7-liter Cursor engines with SCR technology. Previously, the range-topping model had used a 15-liter Cummins. A new “power boost” feature was added.

The transmission is the Ultra Command 16+2 full powershift with automatic functions. A quick-shift gear was now added for the top range, bringing the total to 17+2 speeds and a maximum road speed of 37 km/h. The remaining gears were stepped down accordingly.

Earlier, the smallest model in the series had been noticeably smaller than the rest, which all shared a 391 cm wheelbase. The new lineup drops that smallest tractor, and the wheelbase of the 9.390–9.560 models is now 376 cm. Hydraulic performance was already—by measures such as those used by John Deere—superior to competitors and remains roughly the same. Standard flow is 151 l/min, rising to 428 l/min with the optional MegaFlow pump. Lift capacity is 9 tonnes, whereas most tractors in this class still manage only about 6 tonnes.

The cab features a four-pillar design with improved suspension. Gauges remain mounted on the A-pillar in the American style and are almost unchanged. The control-armrest, however, has been completely redesigned. Cabin noise has even risen slightly to 76–80 dB.
