New Holland is a brand that unites many well-known engineering companies located in Europe and the United States of America. This manufacturer has been holding a leading position in the world market in the segment of construction and agricultural special equipment for quite a long time. The brand has several factories that carry out mass production of all products. They are located in many countries around the world, thanks to which components for various equipment from this manufacturer are very affordable. At the peak of popularity are various variations of backhoe loaders, which are frequent assistants in the fields of construction and agriculture. One such model is the New Holland B115B, which is highly versatile and efficient. In addition, the model has excellent performance and maneuverability. The New Holland 115 comes standard with a front bucket and rear excavator equipment. However, in addition to this equipment, a variety of other accessories can also be used, including agricultural implements, hydraulic drills, forks and jaws, demolition units and several different bucket options.
Application area
New Holland 115 is used in loading and excavation work. To do this, it was equipped with a front-end loader and earth-moving equipment.
Standard working parts allow the device to load bulk or large-sized materials, move them over short distances, and dig holes, trenches, and ditches. However, manufacturers tried to make the car as universal as possible.
Additional attachments have been developed for the loader, expanding the range of capabilities. Thus, a bulldozer blade, a utility brush, and highly targeted construction hydraulic equipment are installed on the chassis.
Purpose
The New Holland B115B backhoe loader has become especially popular in the areas of urban and industrial construction, public services and agriculture. The equipment is also often used when performing road construction work, since an extensive set of additional equipment allows you to carry out all the necessary operations. The same applies to other areas of activity. In some cases, such equipment is more popular than even conventional excavators. This is explained by the increased speed of movement of the equipment, which allows it to independently reach work sites. But it is worth noting that if the object is located at a very long distance, then in this case specialized transport is used, because the model’s engine, although it is economical, will still require large investments at such distances.
Characteristics
Backhoe loaders are created on the basis of Fiat-Kobelco special equipment. They are assembled at an Italian factory located in the city of Imola.

Engine, fuel consumption
The excavator is equipped with an engine of its own production. This is an in-line four-cylinder diesel engine. Liquid cooling system.
The design includes turbocharging with an intermediate heat exchanger. The diesel engine is equipped with an electronic Common Rail system that controls fuel injection. The component reduces fuel consumption, exhaust toxicity, noise, and vibration.
- Rated rotation speed - 2200 rpm.
- Cylinder volume - 4.5 liters.
- Torque (crankshaft speed) - 520 N∙m (1400 rpm).
- Average fuel consumption is 187 g/kW∙hour.
- Cylinder diameter/piston stroke, mm - 104/132.
- The exhaust gas toxicity standard is Euro-3.
To diagnose errors and failures of electronic engine components, a corresponding digital output is provided. Through it, the control unit communicates with the computer, where detailed information about the state of the power plant is displayed.
Chassis, transmission
There are 2 types of chassis available to the consumer: with all-wheel drive or only rear wheels. The last option is the basic version of the machine.
All-wheel drive will only be available upon special order. The power transmission is represented by a semi-automatic gearbox. The Powershift system is responsible for changing gears. Variation in steps is carried out automatically and depends on the degree of workload and speed of movement.
The New Holland B115 has multi-disc brakes operating in an oil bath. According to established tradition, they have separate drives for the right and left sides. This design reduces the turning radius when braking on only one side.
All mechanisms are activated by pressing 2 pedals at once. The parking brake is located on the gearbox output shaft.
The steering of the loader is hydraulic volumetric. The working fluid is withdrawn from the main pressure line through the priority valve.
All wheels can be steered. This provides good maneuverability and allows loading or digging along buildings or walls. The operator has 3 maneuvering options:
- front wheel steering only;
- turning all the hubs in one direction is a “crab move”;
- displacement of the front and rear wheels in different directions - “track to track”.
Hydraulic system
The loader has a closed center hydraulic system. The working fluid is pumped by 2 gear pumps with a total capacity of 170 liters per minute.
The pressure is maintained by a bypass valve set to operate at 21 MPa. The hydraulic system is equipped with a mechanism for monitoring changes in load magnitude, which increases the speed of maneuvers and synchronizes the movement of the manipulator boom.
Peculiarities
Of the main advantages of this machine, it is necessary to highlight the following:
- A special system that, when working with front-mounted equipment, allows you to direct all hydraulic power indicators to this equipment, which allows you to increase the efficiency and productivity of the equipment.
- A central system for tracking the loading of equipment, which allows you to move vertically and horizontally at stable speeds of the power plant. Thanks to this, it was possible to achieve a reduction in the work cycle and an increase in productivity during operation.
- The machine's configuration may include a telescopic handle, which allows you to increase digging performance.
Description of design
The layout of the device can be called classic. There is a loading bucket in front, and a manipulator boom mounted on a movable carriage at the rear.
The power unit is installed in front of the cabin, the engine is covered by an inclined hood that tilts far forward. This design does not limit the view of the working area and facilitates access for maintenance.
Model dimensions
The overall dimensions are not remarkable; they can be called standard.

The telescopic handle and movable carriage allow you to reduce the size of the machine without affecting the capabilities of the installed equipment. This is relevant when the loader is moving on public roads.
Workplace
The loader cabin deserves special mention. Everything about it is ergonomic and concise. The operator's seat has many adjustments that help adjust the seat and backrest configuration to the physiological needs of the driver. The control panel is placed under the right hand.
The visibility of the working areas from the cab is good. This is facilitated by a large glass area and openable front and rear windows.
The cabin has a pre-installed heater and air conditioner. Operator safety is ensured by a cab frame that meets FOPS and ROPS standards.

Price of a new, used excavator, its analogues
LB115 can be bought only from the factory for 6-6.5 million rubles. The amount is approximate: the price depends on the exchange rate, equipment, and supplier. A used device is sold for 3.5-4.5 million rubles. The price formation is influenced by the year of manufacture and the technical condition of the machine.
Based on similar tactical and technical characteristics, I can point out among similar models: Volvo 616B, Komatsu WB97S, Hyundai H940S-4WS, JCB 5CX.

Reviews
Victor, 56 years old: “I’ve been working on the car since I bought it. The high-torque engine, together with efficient hydraulics, ensures a fast pace of work together with great forces on the working parts. The excavator components are reliable, there were no serious interruptions in the operation of the equipment.”
Stanislav, 59 years old: “There are several cars in the enterprise’s transport fleet. They have no equal in performance, cross-country ability and maneuverability. Excavators are easy to maintain, but are demanding on fuel quality. When refueling with low-grade diesel fuel, problems with the power system and injectors may occur.”
Attachment Options
The basic equipment of the New Holland excavator includes a front double-jaw bucket and a rear backhoe bucket. It is also possible to use attachments in conjunction with this unit. This includes:
- auger drills;
- snow dump;
- hydraulic hammers;
- buckets for cleaning ditches and other attachments.
This equipment allows you to successfully use a backhoe loader to perform construction, bulldozer, agricultural and many other types of work.
