The latest models in the McCormick X7 Series of tractors are now available from farm machinery dealers across Scotland.
Simpler-specification versions of the two most powerful models in the series have been introduced.
Efficient specification was first introduced last year on 143-166hp four-cylinder models in the X7 Series and on a pair of six-cylinder tractors.
It is now also available on the X7.670, which has 177hp for draft work boosting to 192hp for pto implements and towing trailers, tankers and spreaders, and on the X7.680 with 188hp rising to 212hp. “These additional efficient models are being introduced at the request of operators wanting a high-performance, high-power tractor with a reasonable amount of automation but without the ‘bells and whistles’ features of the top-spec premium models,” said Ray Spinks from AgriArgo UK – the McCormick distributor in Great Britain and Ireland.
Standard specification for the new models includes three mechanical spool valves plus one electric valve; 123-litre/min load-sensing hydraulics; the 24×24-speed Pro Drive transmission; four-speed pto with ‘economy’ as well as ‘power’ gearing; and 9300kg rear lift capacity.
