2017 McCormick X7.650 T3

Sporting a modern hood and cab design with a stylish and aggressive look, a new PS-Drive transmission and proven BETAPOWER engines, the new McCORMICK X7.6 is ready to meet the challenges of todays increasingly competitive agricultural economy. The range comprises three models the X7.660, the X7.670 and the X7.680 powered by the new 6.7-litre Betapower Fuel Efficiency 24-valve, six-cylinder turbo engines with Common Rail injection system. The X7.6 inherits from its predecessors the rugged cast iron chassis which supports the engine, helping to effectively reduce noise and vibration levels within the cab. The Ps-Drive transmission with 24 speeds in six ranges offers a four-speed on-the-go powershift and incorporates a robotised range shifting and a steering-column mounted hydraulic power shuttle. The gearbox is controlled electronically via pushbuttons located on the multifunction armrest of the air suspension seat. A creep speed unit is available as an option to achieve 40 forward and 40 reverse speeds. The electrohydraulically-engaged rear PTO features a reversible shaft with either 6 or 21 splines that provides four speeds 540/540E/1000/1000E rpm. The electronic control of the PTO always ensures smooth and modulated implement start-up. The closed-centre hydraulic system is a new design and incorporates advanced features to deliver high efficiency and maximum reliability. The system is equipped with a variabledisplacement pump that provides a flow rate of 123 l/min to operate all hydraulic functions and up to six electrohydraulic remote valves. The electronically-controlled rear hitch with draft sensing on the lower links provides a maximum lift capacity of 9300 Kg and allows a precise control of the implement. Optionally, the tractor can be equipped with a front hitch capable of lifting up to 3500 Kg for extra versatility. The front axle, either rigid-mounted or with electronically-controlled independent suspensions, offers a 55 steering angle, providing excellent manoeuvrability. The PREMIERE CAB is a sort of hi-tech lounge designed to offer the operator a functional and ergonomic environment with logically-arranged controls for maximum comfort and ease of operation. The interior features a high-quality, automotive-grade fit and finish that further enhances the operator comfort.

The three models of the McCormick X7.6 series are powered by the new 6.7-liter Betapower 24-valve, 6-cylinder turbo engines with Common Rail injection system which provide power ratings from 165 to 212 Hp. The new Betapower engines also feature the Power Plus system which automatically delivers extra power and torque to cope with demanding PTO and transport work. The tilt-up hood opens wide to provide easy access to the engine compartment for routine service and maintenance. In addition, a special cooling package design allows each of the engine coolers to be separated for easy cleaning.

The PS-Drive transmission with 24 speeds in six ranges offers four shift-on-the-go powershift steps and incorporates a robotised range shifting and a steering-column mounted hydraulic power shuttle which provides 24FWD+24REV speeds. The X7.6 can be optionally equipped with creeper to achieve 40FWD+ 40REV speeds. The gearbox is controlled electronically via some pushbuttons located on the multi-function armrest of the air suspension seat and features the Autoshift facility which automatically selects the right gear to suit load conditions, engine revs and ground speed, thereby allowing safe and smooth driving for maximum comfort and productivity.
