New Holland Compact Wheel Loaders: Meet the New W70D, W80D and W80D Long Reach
New Holland Construction is expanding its compact equipment lineup with three new New Holland Compact Wheel Loaders designed to give contractors, landscapers, agricultural operations, municipalities, and material-handling crews more choices when matching a machine to the job.
The new W70D, W80D and W80D Long Reach join the D-Series lineup, bringing many of the operator-focused improvements introduced with the larger W100D to smaller, more maneuverable machines.
Available beginning in the third quarter of 2026, these new compact wheel loaders are built around versatility. Whether you’re moving mulch at a landscaping project, handling pallets and materials, loading trucks, working around a farm, or clearing snow, New Holland designed the new machines to help crews accomplish more with a single piece of equipment.
Let’s take a closer look at what each model brings to the lineup.
Three New Holland Compact Wheel Loaders Built to Do More
New Holland Construction is expanding its D-Series Compact Wheel Loader lineup with the introduction of the W70D, W80D and W80D Long Reach. The new models, available Q3 2026, build upon the success of the W100D Compact Wheel Loader, bringing its new redesigned cab and enhanced operator experience to additional machine sizes.
Three New New Holland Compact Wheel Loaders
New Holland’s newest additions include two standard configurations and a specialized long-reach model:
- W70D Compact Wheel Loader
- W80D Compact Wheel Loader
- W80D Long Reach Compact Wheel Loader
The W70D and W80D use a mid-sized frame, while the previously introduced W100D remains the largest compact wheel loader in New Holland’s D-Series lineup.
This expanded selection gives customers more flexibility to choose a machine based on lifting requirements, reach, operating weight, maneuverability, and the applications they perform most often.
New Holland Compact Wheel Loader Specifications
Here’s a quick look at the three new models:
| Specification | W70D | W80D | W80D Long Reach |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gross Horsepower | 74 hp | 74 hp | 74 hp |
| Operating Weight | 12,547 lbs. | 13,633 lbs. | 13,900 lbs. |
| Cab Height | 103.4 in. | 105.5 in. | 105.5 in. |
| Hinge Pin Height | 10 ft. 9.5 in. | 11 ft. 1.7 in. | 12 ft. 1.9 in. |
While all three models share 74 gross horsepower, their different sizes and loader configurations allow customers to prioritize maneuverability, lifting performance, or additional reach.
W70D: Compact Size Meets Everyday Versatility
The New Holland W70D is the smallest of the three new D-Series machines, making it a strong option for customers who need wheel loader capabilities while frequently working in confined areas.
At 12,547 pounds, the W70D combines a relatively compact footprint with 74 horsepower and a hinge-pin height of nearly 11 feet.
That combination makes it particularly well suited for jobs where operators need to move material efficiently without bringing a larger loader onto the site.
Applications Include:
- Landscaping
- Nursery operations
- Hardscape installation
- Material handling
- Property maintenance
- Agriculture
- Snow removal
For operations moving between multiple jobsites, the W70D provides a balance between compact dimensions and the productivity advantages of an articulated wheel loader.
W80D: More Capacity for Demanding Work
Moving up the lineup, the New Holland W80D maintains the same 74-horsepower rating but increases operating weight to 13,633 pounds.
The W80D features New Holland’s Z-Bar loader linkage, which is designed for strong breakout performance in high-production load-and-carry applications.
The machine provides up to 10,629 pounds of breakout force and a 1.31-cubic-yard heaped bucket capacity. It can lift up to 7,999 pounds at full height, depending on configuration.
That additional capability makes the W80D a strong fit for applications such as:
- Construction site material handling
- Loading trucks
- Moving stone, soil and aggregate
- Landscape supply operations
- Handling drainage pipe and landscape materials
- Agriculture
- Municipal work
- Snow and ice management
Despite its additional capability, New Holland designed the W80D to remain maneuverable. Its articulated design and relatively compact dimensions allow it to work effectively on smaller jobsites and in constricted areas.
W80D Long Reach: When Additional Height Matters
Some applications don’t necessarily require a larger loader. They require more reach.
That’s where the W80D Long Reach comes in.
The Long Reach model maintains the 74-horsepower engine but increases hinge-pin height to approximately 12 feet 2 inches, compared with approximately 11 feet 2 inches on the standard W80D.
That additional reach can make a significant difference when:
- Loading high-sided trucks
- Handling bulk materials
- Stacking materials
- Loading agricultural equipment
- Working around bins or hoppers
- Performing specialized material-handling tasks
The W80D Long Reach has an operating weight of 13,900 pounds and provides up to 10,545 pounds of breakout force.
For customers who routinely find themselves wishing their current loader could reach just a little higher, the W80D Long Reach provides a purpose-built solution without requiring a move into a substantially larger machine class.
Designed for Operations That Need One Machine to Do More
One of the central themes behind the new New Holland Compact Wheel Loaders is versatility.
Today’s contractors and landscaping crews often move between several applications during the same workday. A machine might unload pallets in the morning, move bulk material in the afternoon, and clean up the site before heading to another project.
New Holland designed the D-Series loaders to accommodate that reality.
The machines are compatible with a broad selection of attachments, including buckets, brooms, blades and other tools. An integrated hydraulic quick coupler allows operators to change compatible attachments without leaving the cab.
That versatility can help businesses get more utilization from a single machine rather than relying on separate pieces of equipment for every task.
Electro-Hydraulic Controls Give Operators More Control
The D-Series uses electro-hydraulic controls designed to give operators precise control over loader functions.
Operators can fine-tune bucket and boom operation while the hydrostatic transmission provides precise travel-speed control with minimal shifting.
An inch-and-brake pedal can also divert engine power toward the loader hydraulics while allowing the operator to precisely control machine movement.
That can be particularly useful when:
- Loading or unloading pallets
- Approaching trucks or trailers
- Positioning materials
- Working around structures
- Performing repetitive loading cycles
The goal is to give operators the control needed for precision work without sacrificing production when it’s time to move material quickly.
A Redesigned D-Series Operator Environment
The three new machines also bring the redesigned D-Series cab experience introduced with the W100D into additional size classes.
The cab emphasizes space, visibility and intuitive control placement. Adjustable seating, steering column and armrest positioning allow operators to tailor the workstation to their preferences, while an LCD display keeps important machine information within view.
A high-performance heater and defroster are standard, with air conditioning available for additional comfort.
For operators spending an entire shift loading, carrying and handling materials, these improvements can help reduce fatigue and create a more comfortable working environment.
Better Visibility and Jobsite Awareness
New Holland has also placed significant emphasis on visibility and awareness around the machine.
The W70D, W80D and W80D Long Reach include a standard rearview camera and backup alarm, helping operators maintain awareness while maneuvering around busy jobsites.
LED lighting improves visibility in low-light conditions, and an available four-corner strobe package can further increase machine visibility around workers and other equipment.
These features can be especially valuable in landscaping, construction and municipal applications where loaders frequently operate around trucks, crews, pedestrians and other machines.
Stability When Carrying Material
Compact dimensions are useful, but a loader also needs to feel stable when the bucket is full.
New Holland designed its compact wheel loaders with a low center of gravity and wheelbase intended to provide stability when lifting and transporting materials.
An available Auto Ride Control system can further improve the experience when traveling over uneven ground. The system automatically engages above 2.5 mph to help reduce material spillage and provide a smoother ride, then disengages at slower speeds for loading and unloading.
For repetitive load-and-carry applications, that can mean less spilled material, a more comfortable operator, and smoother machine movement around the site.
High-Flow Hydraulics Expand Attachment Possibilities
Customers who want to use hydraulically demanding attachments can also configure these machines with an available high-flow hydraulic system.
When paired with creep-speed functionality, operators can maintain the hydraulic flow needed by an attachment while independently controlling machine travel speed.
That can be particularly useful for applications such as:
- Snow removal
- Sweeping
- Cold planing
- Other hydraulically powered attachment work
This capability further expands the usefulness of a compact wheel loader beyond traditional bucket work.
Seven Years of Telematics Connectivity
Fleet management is becoming an increasingly important part of compact equipment ownership.
Each of the three new D-Series machines includes seven years of telematics connectivity through myNewHollandConstruction.
Fleet owners can use the system to access information such as:
- Machine location
- Operating hours
- Maintenance schedules
- Machine health
- Geofencing
- Curfew monitoring
- Maintenance alerts
For businesses managing several machines across different jobsites, this information can make it easier to plan maintenance, monitor utilization and keep track of equipment.
Which New Holland Compact Wheel Loader Is Right for You?
Although the three machines share many features, their differences give each model a distinct role.
The W70D makes sense for customers who prioritize maneuverability and versatility. Its smaller size makes it particularly attractive for landscaping, residential construction, agriculture and operations working in tighter spaces.
The W80D steps up material-handling and lifting capability while remaining compact enough for confined jobsites. It’s a strong all-around option for construction, loading, landscaping and municipal applications.
The W80D Long Reach is designed for customers who need the capability of the W80D but regularly require additional lift height. For loading taller trucks, stacking materials or working around hoppers and other elevated targets, its increased hinge-pin height can provide an important advantage.
And for customers who need to move into a larger size class, the W100D remains at the top of New Holland’s D-Series compact wheel loader lineup.
