Performance and economy are key features of new McCormick X50 Series tractors
Thu 17/01/2013
The McCormick X50.50 Power Plus exhibited on the LAMMA show stand of GB distributor AgriArgo UK is the most powerful of four new McCormick X50 Series tractors due to become available to farmers in Spring this year.With power outputs spanning 85hp to 113hp, the tractors are the first anywhere to be powered by the all-new Perkins 850 Series compact four-cylinder diesel engine.
This 3.4-litre unit may have a smaller swept volume than the 4.5-litre Perkins 1104 series engine used in the McCormick T-Max series that the newcomers will replace. But that certainly does not put the X50 models at a disadvantage.
“The high density power and torque output of this efficient engine should make the X50 a lively performer,” says product specialist Paul Wade of AgriArgo UK. “You only have to look at the torque figures for the 113hp version to see that it is more than a match for the 1104 series engine used at present.”
With a peak output of 450Nm, the Perkins 854E-E34TA engine has a 9% torque advantage over the motor it replaces; yet Perkins engineers also report fuel savings of typically 8%.
