Mccormick targets the middle market

Mccormick has launched a new series of mid-range tractors – the X6 Series.

The three models in the range are the 110hp X6.35, the 119hp X6.45 and the 126hp X6.55.

“These new models provide an attractive option for operators wanting extra power and performance over our X5 Series tractors – or similar models from other manufacturers – but who are not ready for the jump to the X6.4 range,” said Ray Spinks, sales director and general manager at Mccormick distributor Agriargo UK and Ireland.

“With up to 126hp, a choice of transmission and pto packages, and a spacious but relatively low-profile cab, the new models make an especially interesting proposition for small to medium-size livestock farms.”

All models are powered by compact Deutz 3.6-litre four-cylinder engines.

A power shuttle transmission is standard, with simple 12x12 and 16x16 creep manually selected gears, or 36x12 and 48x16 creep with three-speed powershift providing quick speed changes under load.

“A 66-litre/min gear pump for hydraulic services is complemented by a 30-litre/min pump dedicated to steering and control functions,” Mr Spinks said.

The rear lift is rated at a very generous 6,000kg.”

The new models are available from late April.
