Quick answer: The New Holland T1104 — sold in most markets as the TD5.110 — is a 110 hp four-wheel-drive tractor built around an Iveco diesel. The unit we hold is a 2014 build with a factory cab, dry-land tyres and a front weight block. For contractors and mid-size farms it is the "one machine, every job" size: enough mass and hydraulics for a three-furrow reversible plough or a 2.5 m tiller, without the fuel bill of a 140 hp machine. Importers like it because the TD5 series is a New Holland global platform, so filters, service data and wear parts are catalogued almost everywhere. Below: the numbers that matter, the cab and tyre setup, how it compares with the SNH1004, and the checks we run before a New Holland T1104 leaves Linyi.

New Holland T1104 Specifications That Matter on Contract Work

Power alone does not sell a tractor; the package does. This is the configuration of the machine in our yard, taken from the build plate and a physical walk-around:

At 110 hp the machine lands in the sweet spot for mixed contracting: ploughing, disc harrowing, planting and trailer haulage all sit inside its range, and it is still small enough to move between fields on public roads without an oversize permit. Because the specification is a global one rather than a market-specific build, your local dealer is far more likely to have the filters and belts on the shelf.

Why the Cab Changes the Working Day

Open-station tractors are cheaper to buy and cheaper to ship. They also lose you hours. In dust, sun or a sudden squall, an operator on an open station stops; the one in a cab keeps going. Over a twelve-hour day that difference can be the whole margin on a contract job. A cab also filters the dust that would otherwise end up in the operator's lungs and in the tractor's air intake, which is one reason cabbed machines reach the resale market in better condition. A New Holland T1104 with its factory cab holds value accordingly.

For contractors who hire operators, the cab is a retention tool. Good drivers remember the machine they spent a comfortable season in, and they ask for it again next year.

Tyre and Ballast Setup for 110HP

The tyres on this unit are dry-land 11.2-28 front and 16.9-34 rear. That is the right pattern for ploughing, harrowing and road haulage. If your market is flooded rice, say so at quotation stage: dry-land lugs pack with mud and wear fast in paddy, and a rice-spec set is a different order.

The front weight block is not decoration. With a heavy mounted implement on the three-point linkage, weight transfers off the front axle; without ballast the steering goes light and the front wheels scrub. On a New Holland T1104 that matters most with a mounted plough fully lifted. Aim to keep roughly a third of total machine weight on the front axle and watch wheel slip — 10-15% under load is the target band. More than that and you are burning diesel to spin tyres; less and the tractor is over-ballasted and compacting soil.

New Holland T1104 or SNH1004: Which One Should You Load?

Buyers often ask us to choose between this machine and the SNH1004 100hp 4wd New Holland Used Tractor. Both are four-wheel-drive New Holland units with cabs and front ballast, so the decision comes down to where the tractor will work and what it must pull.

Pick the SNH1004 if purchase price per horsepower decides the deal and your implements already run at the PTO speed those units are built for. Pick the New Holland T1104 if you want a globally documented platform, extra power for heavy draught work and a smoother path to resale where buyers recognise the TD5 badge. We photograph the build plate of both and send it with the quotation, so PTO speed and serial number are confirmed before you commit.

What We Check Before a New Holland T1104 Ships

Run this list with any supplier, not just us:

GAMA Machinery company

• Cold start, idle stability and oil pressure, recorded on video
• Cab: glass, wipers, door seals, heater and air conditioning, seat suspension
• Tyres: tread depth, sidewall cracking and date codes
• Three-point linkage, top link and front ballast mounts under load
• Hydraulic remotes and lift arms
• PTO speed read on the build plate, not assumed
• Serial number and build-plate photos for import age paperwork

Implements are worth adding to the same container. A compact unit such as the 1LY disc plough (750 mm cut, 480 kg, Cat II) fills the dead space around a tractor and cuts the freight cost per item shipped.

New Holland T1104 FAQ for Importers

Is 110 hp enough for a 200-hectare contracting business? Yes for most mixed work — ploughing, harrowing, planting and haulage all sit inside 110 hp. The limit shows up with wide or deep tillage: past a three-furrow plough or roughly 2.5 m of working width, you want a second, larger machine rather than pushing this one.

Can a 2014 New Holland T1104 clear import age limits? Often yes, but check first. Many markets cap used agricultural imports at 10 or 15 years, so a 2014 build is comfortable in most 15-year regimes and marginal in the strictest 10-year ones. Send us your destination port and we will confirm the rule and supply build-plate photos before you pay.
