2017 McCormick F 90 N (T3)

To complete the F range, McCormick introduces the new F-N (T3) (Narrow Orchard) and V (T3) (Vineyard) series, available in both cab and platform versions. The key features of the F-N and V series tractors include: a new Tier 3 Perkins 1104D series turbo engine for powerful, quiet and environment-friendly performance, modular transmission with reverse shuttle, front axle with 55 steering angle, IBS integral braking system allowing a maximum speed of 40 km/h, versatile hydraulics with new electronic power lift. The pressurised air-conditioned cab with ergonomicallyarranged controls provides the operator with maximum comfort and safety when treating crops with pesticides. The rounded profile of the hood and the folding ROPS in the platform model allow greater manoeuvrability in confined areas for enhanced productivity.

The V / F-N tractors are powered by a new, environment-friendly Perkins 1104D 4-cylinder turbo engine that delivers 83 HP (ISO rating), while providing low emission levels in accordance with the Tier 3 standards. Specially developed for farming applications, this new engine incorporates state-of-the-art solutions designed to optimise the air-fuel mixture, thereby improving combustion and engine efficiency. Higher horsepower and torque with lower operating costs are thus achieved. The new forward tilting hood provides easy access to the engine compartment for routine service and maintenance

The gear and reverse shuttle levers are located on the drivers side in forward position and allow 24 forward and 12 reverse speeds to be selected in complete comfort. The power shuttle lever is used not only to reverse all gears of the basic transmission but also to activate the overdrive which enables a maximum speed of 40 km/h to be achieved. The transmission can be optionally equipped with a creeper to obtain a total of 32 forward and 16 reverse speeds.

Despite their compact dimensions, the new V and F-N tractors feature a comfortable cab with curved windows for extra room and all-glass side doors hinged onto the rear post for all-round visibility. Large access doors allow the operator to enter and exit the cab with ease. The interior is extremely stylish and accurate, with logically-arranged controls according to current ergonomic standards. The adjustable seat and the height adjustable steering wheel further enhance the driving comfort. The heating/ventilation and airconditioning system is installed on the cab roof and integrated by a filter designed to purify the air inside the cab improving the drivers comfort, health and safety. Natural ventilation is ensured by the openable front and rear windscreens

The hydraulic system is powered by a double pump providing a maximum total flow of 82 l/min and comprises a mechanical power lift and three auxiliary valves mechanically operated by lever. A triple pump increasing the maximum flow to 101 l/min can be optionally fitted to operate an electronic power lift and three mechanically-controlled auxiliary valves. In this configuration, in addition to the three auxiliary valves supplied as standard, the tractor can be optionally equipped with: a 4th auxiliary valve with hydraulic flow selector to control either the right lifting rod or the lower link stabilisers, a 5th electronically-operated auxiliary valve, a 6th lever-operated auxiliary valve for control of hydraulic motors, with quickrelease couplings applied to the front of the tractor. The high-quality quick-release couplings, mounted either on the front or rear of the tractor, ensure optimum comfort of operation and improved tractor productivity.
