The X7.6 tractor range is powered by the new Beta Power Fuel Efficiency 6.7L six-cylinder turbo engines with multivalve technology and electronic common rail injection system. The engines are located within a rugged chassis which helps reduce noise and vibration levels within the cab. The engine cooling is ensured by an electronically-controlled viscotronic fan, which is standard on the entire range. This solution improves cooling efficiency while reducing fuel consumption and noise levels. The new Beta Power Fuel Efficiency powering the X7.6 series are cuttingedge engines designed to offer farmers simplicity and functionality without compromising on performance, reliability and durability. They feature the Power Plus system which electronically adjusts the engine power to respond to varying load conditions. During transport applications or PTO operations, the Power Plus automatically delivers additional 10 hp to handle tough conditions and heavy loads while maintaining speed and productivity. With the Power Plus the X7.6 tractors will deliver maximum powers of 190, 210 and 225 hp.

The P6-Drive transmission with five ranges and six-speed on-the-go powershift incorporates a robotized range shifting and an electrohydraulic steering-column power shuttle providing 30 forward and 15 reverse speeds. In addition, a creep speed option provides 54 speeds forward and 27 in reverse. Where legally permitted, a top speed of 50 km/h can be reached. The P6-Drive transmission is also equipped with an Oil Cut-off function enabling more efficient management of the braking system for better on-road performance and improved fuel economy.

Multi-function controller

An ergonomically-designed controller integrated into the multifunction armrest provides easy and intuitive control of the P6-Drive transmission, allowing the operator to shift through all gears and ranges without depressing the clutch pedal. The powershift button enables seamless speed progression both in the field and on the road. The multifunction controller integrates all main functions for tractor and implement operation. The MyFunctions pushbuttons allow the operator to select and activate up to five different functions such as the APS Auto Powershift facility, differential lock, 4WD operation, De-clutch button, rear hitch fast raise/lower, speed cruise control, one remote valve and headland management. All functions are clearly displayed on the digital instrument panel and on the DSM touch screen monitor. On the X7.6 tractors with P6-Drive transmission, the cab is available in two versions:

- Premium, with controls on the multifunction armrest;

- Efficient, with controls on the right-hand console which also integrates the multi-function controller.

Smart APS Auto Powershift automatic transmission

On the X7.6 range, the P6-Drive transmission can be controlled both manually and automatically. Based on load conditions, engine speed and rpm, the Auto Powershift (APS) facility automatically selects the right gear in each range. This improves tractor performance and driving safety while optimizing fuel economy.

Stop & Action system

The Stop & Action system integrates the De-clutch function into the brake pedal. This allows the operator to stop the tractor without depressing the clutch pedal and without using the power shuttle. By the combined use of the Stop & Action and APS systems, the P6-Drive transmission ensures a smooth driving, comparable to that of a CVT transmission.

Our new Clever Cab welcomes you on board of McCormick high-power tractors. Beautiful, spacious, quiet and functional, the Clever Cab offers a working environment where every detail is cared for with the highest level of attention to give you unmatched performance.

With 14 percent more glass area, the new four-post cab of the X8 provides superb, unobstructed vision in all directions. The interior is more spacious than ever before and the controls are ergonomically designed according to anthropometric principles, servo assisted and user-friendly. The low round fenders further improve visibility to the sides of the vehicle. The 12-inch tablet-like touch screen monitor allows for simple and intuitive operation. Twenty adjustable full LED work lights provide full all-round visibility, while up to two relocatable rearview cameras allow the driver to monitor blind spots from the cab, making for improved safety and easy implement attachment.

The new Clever Cab offers more space for the operator. The clever four-post design has increased the glazed area by 14 per cent to allow full view of the implements and of the entire work area. Interior space has also been increased, particularly in the area around the chest and head of the driver, with 8 cm extra height. The seat travel has been extended by 12 cm towards the rear side. Storage areas are all built in to keep the working space uncluttered.

Wide, well-spaced steps, large doors and a fold-away buddy seat make access to the cab easy and safe. In addition, the daytime running lights integrated into the new headlamps and delayed light switch off ensure safe entry and exit at night.

To make the farmer’s work less tiring, McCormick has developed Cab Suspension, a new electrohydraulic semi-active cab suspension system which isolates the tractor body from wheel vibrations induced by uneven ground conditions. Cab Suspension increases tractor stability on all terrains, enhancing ride comfort.

The X7.6 series tractors feature a closed-centre hydraulic system with variable-displacement pump. This means that the pump always delivers exactly the quantity of oil that the system requires, thereby eliminating unnecessary power waste. The system supplies up to 160 l/min to the hitch and remote valves, allowing for simultaneous operation of all hydraulic functions. The hydraulic system also includes a steering pump with 44 l/min flow rate. The X7.6 range has been designed to operate in a variety of conditions with heavy, power-demanding implements. The PTO offers four speeds: 1000, 1000Eco, 540 and 540Eco rpm and the driveline design ensures minimal power loss and therefore maximum productivity. An electro hydraulically operated clutch enables smooth and modulated engagement of the PTO, ensuring a soft start-up of the implement. The X7.6 series tractors are equipped with the Power Plus system, which automatically increases power available when the PTO is operational. This enables the engine to maintain a constant power as the load varies, allowing optimum use of the PTO for enhanced tractor performance and productivity. The rear hitch is equipped with lower link draft sensing for accurate implement control and provides a maximum lift capacity of 9300 kg.
