New Holland Construction created an all-new, next-generation compact wheel loader, the W100D. In designing the compact machine, the company hoped to redefine the operator experience with a cab built for a variety of job sites. Engineered for landscapers, agricultural operators, snow removal crews, and more, the W100D combines reliable power with an intentional design in a compact class size. 

New cab enhances operator experience

New Holland focused on what matters most in real-world operating conditions: space, visibility, control, and ease of use. The cab features a roomier layout and improved sightlines with the redesigned front windshield, which provides clear views of both the bucket edges and tire alignment for more precise operations.

Inside the cab, operators will find enhanced comforts and advanced features typically reserved for larger machines, such as a standard heated air-ride seat, Bluetooth, FM and AM radio capabilities, HVAC system, and high-visibility LED lighting. A new in-cab LED monitor and standard rearview camera offer access to real-time machine data and elevated awareness on the job site, helping operators stay efficient and confident in their surroundings.

One of the new cab's standout features is the seat-mounted joystick, part of a true pilot control system. Unlike fixed joystick configurations, this system moves in sync with the operator's seat, delivering better control and stability, especially in environments where there is uneven ground. This added comfort improves operator productivity and safety by contributing to fatigue reduction during long hours of operation.

Ready to perform, regardless of the industry or environment

The W100D compact wheel loader is powered by a Stage V-certified FPT Industrial engine, delivering performance with the added benefits of fuel-saving features like eco mode and auto idle. Ride control and creep mode come standard, and high-flow hydraulics options are available for applications that require more specialized performance. 

New Holland Construction shared that the new compact wheel loader was designed with job site flexibility in mind, featuring a standard JRB-compatible coupler and an optional ISO-compatible coupler to accommodate a wide range of attachments. Operators can choose between the standard 1.9-cubic-yard bucket or a high-capacity 2.2-cubic-yard light material bucket for a wide variety of lifting, loading, and scooping tasks.

Compatible attachments for the W100D include grapples, snow throwers, snow pushers, and a full range of buckets. Whether moving bales on the farm, clearing snow, or supporting landscape operations year-round, the W100D offers the versatility professionals demand. Complimenting this aspect is its compact size and power-packed capability that make it ideal for operators who need big performance in a tight footprint.

Maintenance is also made simpler on this machine with three wide-opening service panels that offer unobstructed access for efficient maintenance of the engine and other critical service components. A five-year telematics subscription comes standard with purchase, ensuring owners, operators, and fleet managers can stay connected in person or remotely to monitor and manage performance insights and diagnostics.

"The W100D is all about giving the operator a better experience, from the layout of the cab to the responsiveness of the controls," says Dan Kakareka, product manager for New Holland Construction North America. "We've built this wheel loader to perform in the real world, where comfort, visibility, and intuitive design make a difference day in and day out."
