2017 McCormick X60.50 (T3)

Developed as an evolution of the McCormick CX range, the new X60 series is designed to be even more powerful and reliable than its predecessor. Offered in the X60.20, X60.30, X60.40 and X60.50 (T3) models, this new tractor range provides increased performance greater versatility and reduced operating costs. Compared to the CX range, the X60 series introduces two new engine ratings that further expand the tractor power range. In particular, the X60.50 model is powered by a new Perkins Tier 3 112-hp, 4-cylinder turbo-aftercooled engine with electronic common-rail injection system and Power Management. The Power Management system is designed to automatically boost the engine power up to 121 hp, along with the torque, when the 1000 rpm PTO is engaged or during transport over rough ground. In addition, during road transport at 40 km/h, the engine speed drops down to 1830 rpm, resulting in lower noise and improved fuel economy. Major innovations include a new Argo Tractors manufactured (delete an XtraShift) transmission that provides a three speed powershift giving 36 forward and 12 reverse speeds. A creep speed transmission can also be factory fitted as an option to achieve 48 forward and 16 reverse speeds for specialised applications. The electronically-controlled hydraulic power shuttle now features a (Shuttle Modulation Control), which allows the operator to fine tune the responsiveness of the clutch and power shuttle to suit the operating conditions and the implement being used. This makes the tractor easier to operate and helps prolong the life of the equipment. The electro-hydraulically controlled rear PTO comes with a choice of two speeds: 540/750 or 540/1000. A PTO with three speeds 540/750/1000 is also available as an option for maximum versatility of use. Modulated PTO engagement is automatically regulated via a sensor which detects the inertia of the implement. The X60 range also features a new front axle which incorporates wet disc brakes for added braking capacity and safety on slopes as well as a 100%locking differential for maximum traction in tough slippery conditions.

X60 tractors are powered by a new range of advanced, environmentfriendly engines that provide low emission levels in accordance with the Tier 3 standards. The new Perkins 1104D Turbo-Aftercooled engines have been specially designed for farming applications with modern features and groundbreaking technical solutions . The range comes with four models powered by engines delivering 92,5, 102, 110 and 121 HP (ISO rating) respectively. The engines of the X60 tractor range feature an advanced fuel injection system that optimizes air-fuel mixture, thereby improving combustion and engine efficiency while providing higher power and excellent torque backup with lower operating costs. In particular the X60.50 model is equipped with an engine featuring an electronic high-pressure Common Rail fuel injection system and a Power Management system, which, combined with the engine electronics, allow for automatic increase of both power and torque for PTO work and transport applications in 4th high speed range. Moreover, an advanced electronic engine control system featuring a specific Fuel Save System makes it possible to automatically maintain a forward speed of 40 kph at an engine rated speed of 1830 rpm
