The 6-cylinder BETAPOWER engine, with 6,7 litres of displacement, a variable geometry turbo charger, inter cooled and common rail is the power house of the McCormick 8 series tractor. All of these components combined give an extremely reliable and fuel-efficient engine. The engine is placed within a cast iron chassis and is therefore a “stress free” engine. Ensure that the engine preforms at it optimum it has an electronic management system.

The VT drive transmission (continuously variable transmission) with its four-stage technology, sets this tractor apart from its competitors. Using a four stage VT transmission instead of the conventional two stage CVT transmission offers real benefits to famers and agricultural contractors, ensuring maximum productivity and combine efficiencies in farming applications. The operating speeds of this tractor are 0.05km/h – 40km/h.

A newly designed cab featuring an ergonomical design, air suspended seat, that pivots 15 degrees, and an integrated armrest control.

A hide away buddy seat is also a nice to have feature. All of this in an air conditioned and quiet confine of the cab.

The large 12” touch DSM screen monitor enables simple and efficient control of the tractor as well as implements. The right-hand side door has been replaced with glass panel to allow for the fitment of a longer screen mounting bar this allows for more than two additional screens to be fitted. The ISOBUS and autosteer ready functions are standard for all of your technology-based applications.  The full house LED lighting package consisting of 20 LED lights mounted in the bonnet and on the cab ensures that the working conditions are well lite up after dark.

The McCormick X8 631 tractor features a closed-centre hydraulic system with variable displacement hydraulic pump. This means that the pump always delivers the quantity of oil that the system requires, thereby eliminating unnecessary power waste. The independent hydraulic system is 212 l/min to the hitch and remote valves and 115 l/min to the steering system. A unique feature of this tractor is the independent hydraulic oil reservoir holding 90 litres of hydraulic oil, restricting any possible contaminated oil from an implement to be restricted to the hydraulic components of the tractor and not affecting the transmission. A robust rear 3-point hitch provides a lifting capacity of up to 12 000 kg.
