2017 McCormick X4.40m

Specially developed to replace the CL tractor family, the X4m Series is a new range of sturdy, simple tractors designed to deliver new levels of performance. The X4m Series incorporates advanced technical solutions that minimise operating costs while providing a perfect combination of ruggedness and reliability, making this tractor ideal for field tasks, haymaking and transport operations. Supplied in both two- and four-wheel drive configurations, the X4m is currently offered as an open-platform tractor; a cab version is slated to become available in future. The range features two different engine options: Perkins Tier3 for the X4.35m model and Deutz Tier4 Final for the X4.20m, X4.30m and X4.40m models. The engine hood has been redesigned to reflect the new McCormick family styling. Specially developed by Argo Tractors, the versatile Speed Four modular transmission with synchro shuttle offers four synchronized gears in three ranges providing 12 forward and 12 reverse speeds. A creep speed unit with 16 forward and 16 reverse gears and speeds as low as 300 m/h is available as an option. The 4WD version with electrohydraulic engagement of the fourwheel drive features a mechanical differential lock on the rear axle and a limited slip differential on the front axle. When the hydrostatic annular-piston rear brakes are operated, the four-wheel drive engages automatically, which in turn brakes the front axle for efficient braking on all four wheels.

Three models in the range are powered by the new Deutz C4DT four-cylinder turbointercooled engines with two-valve technology and electronic high-pressure common rail injection system. The efficient Deutz injection system provides more power, higher torque backup and better fuel economy, resulting in great flexibility of use. An innovative exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR) with diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) allows these engines to meet the Tier 4 Final emissions regulation without the use of a diesel particulate filter (DPF), thus eliminating the need for a regeneration process. The Deutz engines powering the X4m Series have a 2.9L displacement and deliver maximum power outputs of 64, 69 and 76 hp. The fourth model in the range is powered by a Perkins naturally aspirated 4.4-liter 4-cylinder Tier 3 engine delivering 74 hp to offer farmers a more cost-effective option. Fully redesigned to reflect the new McCormick family styling, the hood opens wide to provide easy access to the engine compartment for routine service and maintenance and to allow easy cleaning of coolers in dusty conditions.

The X4m Series tractors feature a versatile Speed Four modular transmission with four synchronized gears in three ranges and synchro shuttle offering 12 forward and 12 reverse speeds. The gearbox is offered in a 30 km/h version on the 2WD models and in a 40 km/h version on the 4WD models. The creep speed unit, standard on the 2WD models and optional on the 4WD models, provides 16 forward and 16 reverse gears and speeds as low as 300 m/h. The gear and range levers are located on the drivers right-hand side, while the shuttle lever is on the left-hand side. All controls are ergonomicallydesigned and logically-arranged for maximum comfort and ease of operation.

Located on an iso-mounted platform, the driving position of the X4m series tractor features large wraparound fenders and is equipped with a fully adjustable sprung seat. The hydraulic steering, the adjustable steering wheel and the gear levers ergonomically arranged on the drivers side maximise the ride comfort. The two-post ROPS can be optionally equipped with a sun canopy
