2017 McCormick X2.40 X2.40STD

The ultra-new X2 Series made its debut at the Fieragricola show. The X2 Series replaces the GM range with a modern, agile and compact solution. On show will be a foot step version whilst a cabbed version will also be available. This new tractor series shares some of the common design and styling elements of the hood and roof designs from others in the range, which continues on with the modern family look of McCormick. The X2 Series comes in standard configuration and a new GE configuration (footstep only) where the rear final drives and platform have been carefully re-designed to achieve a platform height which is 95 mm lower than the GM. The result ensures improved performance where height and width constraints exist, such as awning vineyards or greenhouses. Dimensions become extremely compact with 24 rear tyres: 1,420 mm minimum width and just 1,230 mm height to steering wheel. 20 rear tyres will also be available as an option. The range features 44 HP to 55 HP Yanmar engines and comes in three models: X2.20, X2.30 and X2.40 STD or GE.

The Yanmar TNV 4-cylinder engines of new generation offer high performance, improved fuel efficiency, low noise, high torque backup and reduced emissions. In particular, the 4-cylinder turbo engine is equipped with 16 valves delivering exceptional performance. The hood side panels can be removed providing easy access to the engine for routine service and maintenance.

The basic transmission (12 FWD+12 REV) is integrated with a creeper offering a choice of up to 32 gears. The fully synchronised reverse power shuttle enables all gears of the basic transmission to be reversed offering a total of 16FWD+16REV . The controls are located in forward position on the driving wheels side in line with the latest design standards .

Located on an iso-mounted platform, the driving position impresses with its ergonomic design and easy-to-use, logically-arranged controls. Restyled with a modern look, the new four-post cab offers enhanced all-round visibility for easy manoeuvring and safe implement operation. Featuring improved pressurization, lower noise levels and a new, more efficient airconditioning system, the cab of the X2 Series tractor raises driver comfort to a whole new level.

The hydraulic system provides a maximum flow rate of 12,5 GPM (47,7 litres/min). The mechanical power lift with Cat. 1 three-point linkage can lift up to 2640 lb. (1200 kg), The system features three simple- and double-acting auxiliary valves. The controls are located in a comfortable and ergonomic position at the drivers right for fingertip operation.
