TECHNOLOGY
McCormick Smart Power Zero
Smart Power Zero, a system similar to the Hill Holder in the automotive sector, allows the tractor to remain stationary in any slope condition once the shuttle is engaged until the accelerator pedal or EasyPilot joystick is operated. At the same time, this application communicates with the trailer braking system. This control means that the brake pedal does not need to be actuated all the time and ensures the safety of the operator and those near the work site. A further advantage of the Smart Power Zero function is that it facilitates manoeuvres when approaching equipment during connection.
McCormick SEMI-ACTIVE CAB
Cab Suspension, the new semi-active cab suspension system isolates the tractor body from the wheel vibrations induced by uneven ground conditions, ensuring maximum ride comfort and safety on all terrains.
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. Using the Stop&Action system combined with the APS function, the P6-Drive transmission ensures a smooth driving, comparable to that of a CVT transmission.
Smart APS Auto Powershift
On the X7 range, the P6-Drive transmission can be controlled both manually and automatically. Based on load conditions, engine speed and rpm, the Auto Powershift (Smart APS) facility allows the operator to automatically select the right gear in each range for best performance and optimum fuel economy. The Smart APS dial in the armrest allows the engine speed parameters to be adjusted from an ECO through to a Power setting.
VT-DRIVE TRANSMISSION
The VT-Drive transmission of the X6.4 Series tractors is a continuously variable transmission (CVT) developed by Argo Tractors that provides an infinite number of speed ratios from zero to the maximum speed permitted in the country of use.
