Select from two optional FWD axles to boost your efficiency.
Two innovative New Holland
FWD axle options give you advan-
tages in the field and on the road.
Fast, sharp SuperSteer™ turns
Add the patented SuperSteer™
FWD axle to your T6000 Plus or Elite
tractor and you increase the standard
55-degree turn angle to an unmatched
65 degrees. You turn sharper and
faster for easier maneuvering in tight
spaces and small fields. And, row-
crop operations achieving a 35%
reduction in headland turn time—a
huge advantage. Equip a SuperSteer
tractor with the FastSteer™ option,
and you get the absolute ultimate in
simple turning.
The exclusive New Holland
design
As the tractor turns, the whole
SuperSteer axle pivots, adding 20
degrees of articulation to the standard
turn angle of 45 degrees. The inside
tire moves away from the tractor,
providing more tire clearance, a
sharper turning angle and reduced
turnaround diameter.
A smooth TerraGlide™ ride
Equip your T6000 Series Plus or
Elite model tractor with the
TerraGlide™ FWD axle and you get
an ultra-smooth ride along with
better traction, stability and control in
any terrain. The TerraGlide axle pro-
vides a remarkable 100 mm of travel
to keep the front tires in contact with
the ground, so you ease over rough
spots in rutted fields or bumpy roads.
You enjoy a more comfortable ride
but, more importantly, you also get
better control. The TerraGlide axle
helps keep the tractor grounded for
more consistent loading on the front
tires, resulting in greater traction, up
to a 5% increase in drawbar pull, bet-
ter stability and better steering con-
trol.
No complications
The TerraGlide FWD axle is a
simple, affordable design – not like
the complicated systems found on
other tractors. Another unique
feature: the system can be turned off!
The TerraGlide axle is activated at
tractor start up but can be locked out
between speeds of 1.5 and 12 km/h
using an override switch in the cab.
To ensure your comfort and safety,
the suspension is automatically
engaged at speeds over 12 km/h.
Heavy-duty rear axles
T6000 rear axles feature inboard
planetary final drives with three
large, heat-treated planet gears to
handle high-torque loads. Heavy-
duty flange or 2,489-mm bar axles are
available on all models for maximum
flexibility. Six-cylinder Elite models
are also available with a 2,844-mm
bar axle and dual tires.

The SuperSteer axle moves the inside wheel out and
away from the tractor frame, providing more tire
clearance and a greater turn angle for faster, sharp-
er turns. Add the 20 degrees of axle articulation to
the standard turn angle of 45 degrees for an
unmatched total turn angle of 65 degrees.
