McCormick X60 - Farmer Rob Corfield
Wed 3/04/2013
What's a few extra degrees steering angle worth on a tractor working amongst cattle yards? A good 20 minutes knocked of feeding time, reckons Powys farmer Rob Corfield.That is just one of the improvements he's seen since replacing a three-year old McCormick CX110 with a new McCormick X60.
“It goes round the sheds a treat, certainly better than the CX,” he says. “And with the extra power we've got from the X60.50, productivity is better all round.”
As the main tractor on the 150-acre all-grass farm near Caersws, reliability is a key concern; hence the policy of changing to a new one every three years: “It has to start on the button first time, every time, 365 days of the year,” says Mr Corfield.
“The X60 is a very comfortable tractor, just what you need for long days silaging,” he adds. “With plenty of power and good manoeuvrability around the buildings, it’s an ideal livestock tractor in my opinion.”
