The new X5 tractors are powered by FPT F36 3.6L, 16-valve, four-cylinder turbo engines with intercooler and common rail injection system. The three models in the range deliver 95, 102 and 114 hp and meet the Stage V/Tier 4 Final emissions regulations using DOC, DPF and SCR after-treatment technologies. The engine/transmission matching has been redesigned enabling McCormick engineers to move the exhaust after-treatment system from the right cab post to under the bonnet for enhanced operator visibility during work. The FPT F36 engines that power the X5 tractors are equipped with a computer-controlled common rail injection system that provides a precisely measured amount of fuel to the engine for enhanced performance and reduced fuel consumption. Fuel efficiency is further improved with the Engine Memo Switch, a device that stores and recalls the engine speed best suited to the job in hand. The X5 tractor is equipped with a new 135-litre fuel tank allowing extended periods of operation without refuelling.

Designed with versatility in mind, the McCormick X5 multi-utility tractor offers up to eight transmission configurations to meet the specific needs of each farm: 1. Speed Four: 12/12 speeds with synchro shuttle. 2. Speed Four: 16/16 speeds with synchro shuttle and creeper. 3. Power Four with hydraulic Hi-Lo: 24/24 speeds with synchro shuttle. 4. Power Four with hydraulic Hi-Lo: 32/32 speeds with synchro shuttle and creeper. 5. Power Four with hydraulic Hi-Lo: 24/24 speeds with power shuttle. 6. Power Four with hydraulic Hi-Lo: 32/32 speeds with power shuttle and creeper. 7. XtraShift with HML powershift: 36/12 speeds with power shuttle. 8. XtraShift with HML powershift: 48/16 speeds with power shuttle and creeper. McCormick has further improved its renowned range of rugged and reliable transmissions to maximize the tractor’s performance in terms of power and fuel efficiency.

Spacious, quiet, technically innovative and above all comfortable – that’s the new Total View Slim cab of the McCormick X5. The new cab offers the comfort of two silent-block suspension units at the front and two shock absorbing rubber mounts at the rear for a unique driving experience. This solution cuts down vibrations caused by rough terrain, making for more relaxing and productive work days. Also, a new sound proofing system ensures the cab is completely isolated from exterior noise. Every detail within the Total View Slim cab has been designed with the operator’s comfort in mind: spacious interior, automotive-grade fit and finish, flat floor, airsuspended seat, tilt-adjustable telescopic steering wheel tilting with the instrument panel, easy-to-use ergonomic controls, multifunction controller, high-performance climate control system, DAB+ radio and plenty of other creature comforts make your work days more pleasant and relaxing. With its four-post design and its large glass panels, the Total View Slim cab provides an excellent all-round view and good close-range visibility, making for safe and easy manoeuvring in tight spots and at headlands. Up to ten high-contrast LED lights, six of which fitted on the cab roof, ensure daylight illumination during night-time operation, while the transparent roof hatch provides extra visibility for loader work. With the X5, long working days in the field are less tiring and more productive.

The X5 features an open-centre hydraulic system with a pump that provides a flow rate of either 62 l/min or 82 l/min to operate the remote valves, the front and rear hitches and the front loader. A second pump with a flow rate of 32 l/min is dedicated to the steering system. This hydraulic capacity allows the operator to: > speed up work; > carry out multiple tasks simultaneously; > perform heavier-duty tasks; > reduce fuel consumption thanks to lower rpm engine operation; > experience higher levels of comfort and well-being, because the lower engine speed reduces noise and vibrations; > turn smoothly, even when performing the most demanding of tasks, thanks to the dedicated steering pump.
The hydraulic system of the X5 operates up to seven hydraulic functions: three mechanical and one electronic rear-mounted remotes, two mid-mounted remotes for the use of a front loader and other front-mounted implements, and a two-way flow divider that splits one remote into two. Four types of remote valves are available that can be used in combination to suit different application needs: - Standard: double-acting; - Kick-out: with automatic detent release; - Float: for implements that follow the contour of the ground; - Hydraulic motor/float: for implements requiring a hydraulic motor or a float function. The X5 multi-purpose tractor is a champion of versatility and efficiency: each configuration allows the tractor to work with the front hitch, the front loader, the rear hitch and a variety of frontand rear-mounted implements. Each remote features high-quality, easy-to-reach quick-release couplings for fast operation. Also, the flow divider allows the user to adjust the oil flow delivered to each remote.
