2017 McCormick X5.20

Launched in 2012, the X50 tractor range now returns to the market with the denomination X5 in line with the new model designations recently adopted by McCormick for its tractor families. The new X5 tractor series offers a fully revamped four-post cab with flat-deck platform and rear hinged doors that provides ease of access to the drivers seat and unequalled all-round visibility. Designed with painstaking attention to detail, the cab interior features ergonomically-arranged controls for maximum comfort and ease of operation. The telescopic tilt-adjustable steering wheel tilts with the instrument panel, allowing the driver to constantly monitor the tractor operation. The air-conditioning with filters located in the rear posts for ease of cleaning makes for an ultra-slim roof design that reduces the tractor overall height. Other improvements include increased hydraulic flow (63 l/min + 30 l/min) and a larger fuel tank with a storage capacity of 120 litres. The 12+12 transmission with power shuttle and shuttle modulation control has now been upgraded with the proven 36+12 Xtrashift transmission with 3-stage powershift which provides a top speed of 40 km/h at reduced engine rpm. The X5 tractor range comprises four models: the X5.20, X5.30, X.5.40 and X5.50. All models are powered by the new Perkins 854E-E34TA engines. Equipped with two-valve technology, common rail injection system and exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR), these 3.4-liter, four-cylinder, turbo-aftercooled engines meet the Tier 4 Interim emission regulations and offer power ratings from 88.5 to 113 hp. The first three models in the range me standard with Power Plus system. The X5 tractors are also available with iso-mounted platform.

The X5 tractors are powered by the new Perkins 854E-E34TA series four-cylinder turboaftercooled engines with power ratings from 88.5 to 113 hp. These 3.4L engines feature two-valve cylinder heads and electronic common rail injection system and utilize an innovative exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR) in conjunction with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) to meet the Tier 4 Interim emission regulations. The electronic engine management, combined with the Power Plus system, allows the engine to automatically deliver extra power and torque to handle demanding PTO and transport applications. Fully reshaped to reflect the new McCormick family styling, the tilt-up hood opens wide to provide easy access to the engine compartment for service and maintenance and for easy cleaning of coolers in dusty conditions.

The X5 features as standard a Speed Four transmission with a hydraulic power shuttle providing three ranges with four speeds each. The basic gearbox can be combined with an Xtrashift transmission with three powershift ranges (high, medium,low) that can be shifted on-the-go using the green buttons integrated into the gear lever. With the power shuttle, this configuration provides 36 forward and 12 reverse speeds. A creeper unit is available as an option to increase the total number of speeds to 48 forward and 16 reverse. The De-Clutch orange button on the gear lever and the power shuttle lever adjacent to the steering wheel allow the driver to change gear and shift from forward to reverse without using the clutch pedal.The power shuttle is equipped with shuttle modulation control. This feature, fitted on the control panel, adjusts the power shuttle response to suit the operating conditions.
