New McCormick X6 Series mid-range tractors to be unveiled at LAMMA 2014.
Thu 9/01/2014
Farmers and contractors who seek out the McCormick tractor display at the LAMMA show this month will not only see the new X7 Pro Drive tractors for the first time but also the new mid-range McCormick X6 Series.Scheduled for production later this year, the second newcomer in the most comprehensive overhaul of the McCormick range in the famous marque’s history brings greater performance and sophistication to the mid-range.
There will be two models initially – the X6.420 has 111hp output for draft work, while the X6.430 delivers 121hp. The 4.5-litre FPT engine with SCR giving fuel-efficient emissions control has Power Plus electronic engine management to release another 10hp for added performance when working with pto-driven implements or running at speed on the road.
“These new models combine the best features of the McCormick X60 and MC tractors in a new package with more features and options than before,” says Paul Wade, product specialist at GB distributor AgriArgo UK. “They will appeal to farmers wanting a relatively simple tractor as well as those who want added sophistication and the performance benefits that come with it.”
There are 40kph, 40kph Eco and 50kph 36x12 transmissions; a choice of power take-off speed configurations; fixed flow gear pump and pressure-/flow-compensating piston pump hydraulics; and optional cab and front axle suspension for a smoother ride and added productivity.
Add in the new four-post cabin with its anti-drop door hinges and soft-shut latches, upmarket steering column-mounted instrument display, and easy to handle control layout, and it’s clear the new McCormick X6 Series tractors are worth more than a cursory glance at LAMMA.
