McCormick Tractor's latest offering, the X60 range of tractors is recently made available in the country through newly appointed Australian distributor, Clark Equipment.
The X60 series, launched overseas in 2011, is McCormick’s
technological evolution of the previous CX range.
Clark Equipment says the new tractors will be able to
provide a performance that meets the professional users’
requirements, with added comfort and an ultra-modern, aggressive
look.
Models in the X60 range include the X60.20, X60.30, X60.40 and
X60.50 and are suitable for a multitude of uses from light work to
heavier duty open-field jobs. A higher ground clearance adds to the
range’s versatility.
Compared to the CX series, the new X60 range features a further
two engine ratings which adds to the power of the tractors.
The X60.50 model features an electronically controlled Perkins
4-cylinder Turbo Aftercooler Common Rail engine which delivers a
112HP lugging power but can also supply 121 HP at the power
take-off (PTO)and during transport work, reducing the engine rate
at 40kph and consequently cutting down on fuel consumption.
Some main characteristics of the X60 range include the Power
Shuttle transmission, featuring a basic 12-speed gearbox in
conjunction with a hydraulic H-M-L that triplicates the ratios of
the basic gearbox on load, and the hydraulic reverse shuttle for a
total 36 FWD+12 REV speeds. The speeds can reach as many as 48
FWD+16 REV with the addition of the Creeper.
The electro-hydraulically controlled PTO is available on request
with two speeds (540/750 or 540/1000) or three speeds.
(540/750/1000)
Another innovative feature of the X60 range is the
electronically controlled hydraulic reverse shuttle which allows
the operator to modulate the action of the unit to suit the
implement used.
The X60 series can be equipped with up to five control valves
while the lifting capacity of the rear power lift is now up to
5,000 kg.
The braking capacity of the range has also been increased by
installing booster brake pumps that achieve decelerations well
below the valves required by the European standards.
