Best known for its agricultural
tractors, McCormick also offers the X5 range which suitable for sportsfield or contracting work.
New Deutz AG 3.6 litre engines with
power ratings from 99 to 113hp meet the Stage 3B/Tier 4 Interim emissions
regulations using a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC).
Transmission options range from
a basic Speed Four gearbox with synchro shuttle providing 12 forward and 12
reverse speeds up to an Xtrashift three-stage powershift (high, medium, low)
with creeper providing 48 forward and 16 reverse speeds.
The four-wheel drive, the
differential lock and the PTO, with either two or four speeds, are
electro-hydraulically engaged. The open-centre hydraulic system ensures optimum
operation of the rear hitch and of up to five remote valves. Optionally, the X5
can be fitted with a front hitch and PTO system and an M Series front loader.
A four-post cab with
ergonomically-positioned controls for maximum ease of operation and a
transparent roof hatch providing extra visibility for front loader operations.
The low profile roof allows
easier access to low-ceiling sheds. The X5 tractor can be optionally equipped
with a satellite-based guidance system and an ISOBUS terminal to maximise
productivity and profitability.
