New Holland Supports B100 Use

New Holland supports the use of B100 biodiesel in its diesel engines.

Overall, nearly 80% of New Holland-branded products with diesel engines, including electronic injection engines with common rail technology, are now available to operate on B100 biodiesel. The company has also asked other suppliers of diesel engines used in New Holland-branded products to test and approve higher levels of biodiesel.

In addition to extensive testing and development within the company, New Holland has been involved in an ongoing research project in collaboration with Penn State University’s College of Agricultural Sciences to put B100 to the test under real-life conditions. After nearly two years of use, the tractors have performed with no adverse effects in performance or maintenance, according to Glen Cauffman, the university’s manager of farm operations and services.

Paul Trella, New Holland director of product marketing for Under-100 HP Tractors, stresses that it is essential to use high-quality biodiesel produced to ASTM D6751 standards from a reputable supplier who can offer consistent fuel quality to ensure optimum performance and engine durability. With the use of approved fuels, it is also essential that biodiesel be used in strict compliance with proper handling, storage, and maintenance requirements to maintain the integrity of the fuel.
