The McCormick X4 series, representing a new product category for the marque, being a lightweight tractor with a big heart, will make its UK debut at Cereals 2014 in June.
“It’s an all-new design with a remarkable choice of eight individual transmission configurations to suit every application,” McCormick product specialist Paul Wade said. “Together with standard or high-flow hydraulics, different PTO configurations and a new cab providing spacious and stylish accommodation for the operator, the X4 represents an attractive, modern package.”
Three models will be available initially, and all feature Deutz engines for the first time in a McCormick. The compact four-cylinder diesel is tuned for rated-speed outputs of 85hp, 95hp and 102hp, growing to peak at 90hp, 99hp and 107hp for lively performance with great economy as engine revs are pulled down under load.
In the transmission department, there’s a choice of easy-shifting synchro shuttle or fingertip-shifting power shuttle and 12×12 or 24×24 with Hi-Lo gear arrangements. An over-drive option gives 40km/hr at reduced engine revs to save fuel.
A creep gearbox provides 16×16 and 32×32 speeds with extra-low ratios for specialist field tasks, and there are standard and eco versions of the two-speed PTO, plus optional ground speed drive.
The Standard and Hi-Flow gear pump hydraulics, with 44- and 57-lit/min outputs, are supplemented by a dedicated 32-lit/min steering pump for a McCormick front axle that can have built-in brakes for added security during road travel. The hydraulic lift capacity is 2,900kg as standard, and 3,200kg with assister rams.
