![]() ![]() "This machine has twin arm four-wheel independent suspension," DeBock said. This appears to be a much smoother riding machine (FIN only got a static view). That doesn't mean cat eyes for lights, but rather a black hood inset and a more aggressive headlight pattern.Īnd the Rustler 850 comes with electronic power steering as well as a much upgraded suspension system both front and rear. "We looked for something that better matched our T6/T7 look," DeBock said. In fact, the first front end on the vehicle ended up requiring work - call it a machine nose job - to get the final look you see here. "We want this machine to be from all angles a New Holland machine." "We had key dealers evaluate the machine," DeBock said. ![]() This is a machine that started down the development track 18 months ago and last fall dealers were shown the rig at a training event. There are utility vehicles that have higher top speeds, but DeBock explained that New Holland sought a middle ground, providing ag customers more speed for transport while not reaching up to the "sport" level machines. "We've made a quicker machine because that's what customers told us." "Our prior machine was capable of 25 mph," DeBock said. Power comes from a 62 hp electronic fuel-injected engine capable of hauling passengers at 45 mph. The nose of the new Rustler 850 went through some changes with dealer input to achieve the right look for the New Holland line. "That's a 1000-pound capacity bed with 1,500-pounds of carrying capacity. "We went with a full size bed that can carry a full pallet," DeBock said. While the Rustler 850 - the only model in the line for now - is based on the proven Textron chassis (the company makes the Bad Boy line of utility vehicles) there's plenty of New Holland DNA in the final product, according to Todd Debock, with New Holland. The machine debuted during the National Farm Machinery Show and Farm Industry News took some time to learn more. New Holland turned to Textron Specialized Vehicles to partner and develop a new utility vehicle for customers. No, the name is not new to the brand, but the vehicle that carries that badge is. And that's a definition the folks at New Holland can get behind with their new Rustler 850 utility vehicle. But a rustler is more than someone who purloins cattle or horses without compensation, a rustler is also an energetic, driving person. There are family trees that contain their fair share of rustlers - yes those horse thieves no one talks about. The vehicle’s cowl takes styling cues from current New Holland products and its finish will promote New Holland’s signature blue color.Hearing there's a rustler around is not always good news. ![]() Standard front and rear sway bars promote superior agility and handling on off-road terrain. The Rustler 850’s 62-hp EFI engine is precision-tuned to maximize power and performance, while its four-wheel double A-arm suspension ensures a comfortable ride. The Rustler also comes standard with a three-point harness and ROPS structure to protect the operator. Buyers can select from a variety of accessories from enclosed cab systems and windshields to winches and lights.įor safety, New Holland includes four-wheel disc brakes for reliable stopping whether the bed is empty or under a full load. These Rustlers can also be outfitted your way. And, even when maxing out capacity, ride quality is never compromised because the Rustler is equipped with dual rate springs which consistently help it to deliver one of the smoothest rides in its class, New Holland says. When it’s time to do heavy-duty hauling, an oversized, rust-free load bed, which offers a 1,500-lb total load capacity, is easily customizable to accommodate any need. ![]()
