McCormick will show X7.6 range throughout 2022

• McCormick X7.6 provides a mix of technology, reliability and power to effectively meet the demands of farm and field work

The range features Beta Power Fuel Efficiency 6-cylinder, 24-valve engines with turbocharger and Common Rail injection with power outputs up to 240hp. The innovative HI- eSCR2 system ensures that the engines are Stage V compliant.

Two transmission versions are available: P6-Drive with 6 powershift gears for 5 ranges, robotised range shifting and electro-hydraulic reverse shuttle on the steering wheel, available in the manual or automatic versions, and the continuously variable VT-Drive transmission, which offers guaranteed excellent response and great user-friendliness thanks to the adoption of the “Power Zero” system, an automatic mechanism that keeps the tractor stationary and blocks all movement once the reverse shuttle has been engaged. The system paves the way for yet another new feature on the McCormick X7.6 VT-Drive, namely the electronically controlled smart-brake.

The transition from road to field is now more efficient and effective thanks to the newly introduced EazyGrip central tyre inflation system, which can be conveniently operated from the Data Screen Manager. The system controls pressure and stops automatically when the pre-set level is reached, reducing soil compaction, fuel consumption, tyre wear and optimising soil productivity.

The X8 VT-Drive is available in 3 models with powers of 264, 286 and 310 hp delivered by 6- cylinder Betapower Fuel Efficiency 6.7-litre engines equipped with eVGT electronically controlled variable geometry turbocharger and SCR exhaust gas post-treatment system, fully compliant with Stage V regulations. Its strength lies in the continuously variable transmission with four stages, 40 kmh ECO speed at 1300 rpm and 50km/h ECO speed at 1600 rpm.

The Première Cab, thanks to its 4-pillar design, offers panoramic visibility in every direction. The operator’s seat has dynamic air suspension with automatic height adjustment and a backrest with both heating and ventilation. The right armrest houses all the main controls and the EasyPilot multifunction joystick has an ergonomic grip and clear functions.

In addition, X8 VT-Drive Stage V is guidance ready and features McCormick’s Fleet & Remote Diagnostic Management system to monitor key tractor fleet activities at anytime, anywhere in the world. Using IoT (Internet of Things) protocols, all information on fleet activity such as geolocation, consumption, levels, temperatures and work sessions are made available via PC or mobile device. This allows the operational status of tractors to be monitored and their efficiency to be kept constantly under control.
