New three-model McCormick X6 Series now at dealers spans 111-140hp

Wed 4/03/2015

New mid-range tractors now arriving at McCormick dealers throughout the country have replaced two of the famous marque’s best-selling ranges with increased power and torque from new engines, and a broader range of features to give added performance, fuel economy and driver comfort.

The three models in the McCormick X6 line-up come in ‘standard’ and higher-spec ‘LS’ versions, main differences being in the hydraulics, wheel equipment, transmission speeds and availability of suspension for the front axle and driver’s cab.

“The new X6 Series covers applications previously met by the McCormick MC tractors and the top end of the McCormick X60 line, both of which were among our best-sellers,” says Ray Spinks, sales director and general manager at McCormick distributor AgriArgo UK. “The X6 models are in many respects more advanced, with features not previously available and higher power and torque outputs delivering increased performance.”

All three McCormick X6 Series tractors are powered by four-cylinder FPT engines with an SCR emissions management system widely regarded as one of the most efficient available. For the X6.420, this 4.5-litre engine delivers 111hp for draft work but 121hp when the Power Plus electronic engine management system automatically engages for pto-driven implements and road travel.

The X6.430 starts with 121hp and gains another 12hp with this system, peaking at 133hp, while the X6.440 goes from 130hp for draft work to 140hp with Power Plus for pto and transport applications.

In standard form, the X6 Series will appeal to farmers wanting a relatively simple tractor with a smart, well-equipped cab and good manoeuvrability. The ‘LS’ version, with additional features like load sensing hydraulics and suspension, will appeal to operators wanting more performance.

Base specification for all three McCormick X6 Series tractors includes items that often appear as options on other makes, such as a telescopic pick-up hitch, swivelling front mudguards, telescopic exterior mirrors and remote pto switches on the rear mudguards.

Also standard are cab air conditioning, rear wash/wipe, a radio, roof beacon and Deluxe air driver’s seat. The front drive axle incorporates disc brakes to give true four-wheel braking performance.
