The X7 SWB tractor range is powered by new self-supporting four- and six-cylinder engines with multivalve technology. The four-cylinder models are equipped with FPT NEF 45, 4.5-litre, 16-valve engines and have a wheelbase of 2651 mm; the six-cylinder tractors feature FPT NEF 67, 6.7-litre, 24-valve engines and have a wheelbase of 2760 mm. Designed with performance, reliability and durability in mind, both engines are equipped with electronic common rail injection system and meet the Stage V emissions regulations using the HI-eSCR2 exhaust after-treatment system. The self-supporting design and the short wheelbase make the X7 SWB tractor extremely nimble and efficient. The Power Plus system 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, increasing engine power to 165 and 175 hp, respectively, to handle tough conditions and heavy loads while maintaining speed and productivity. A cutting-edge fuel injection strategy also increases engine responsiveness while reducing both fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. The innovative Cooling Matrix system allows the coolers located in front of the radiator to open fully from a single latch to provide fast and easy cleaning in dusty conditions. This system improves cooling efficiency and fuel economy ensuring superior levels of performance.

The VT-Drive continuously variable transmission is designed to maximize the efficiency of your X7 SWB improving its performance and versatility in every application. Combining powerful FPT NEF engines with a four-stage VT-Drive transmission composed of four planetary gear trains with oil-cooled clutches, the X7 SWB ensures fast, responsive acceleration in any situation, making work less tiring and safer. The VT-Drive transmission offers four speed ranges with advance speeds from 40 m/h to 50 km/h for maximum productivity under all operating conditions.

The P6-Drive transmission with five ranges and six powershift speeds incorporates a robotized range shifting and an electrohydraulic steering-column power shuttle providing 30 forward and 15 reverse speeds. A creep speed option increases available speeds to 54 forward and 27 in reverse. Where legally permitted, the X7 SWB can reach a top speed of 50 km/h at reduced engine rpm. The P6-Drive transmission is further equipped with an oil cut-off function which improves the tractor’s braking efficiency while reducing fuel consumption.

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 SWB tractor range features a closed-centre load sensing hydraulic system (CCLS) 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 and ensuring superior performance in any situation. 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 pump that supplies 52 l/min to the steering. The X7 SWB range has been designed to operate in a variety of conditions with heavy, power-demanding implements. The driveline design of the PTO ensures minimal power loss and the electronic control always ensures smooth and modulated implement start-up. The rear PTO of the X7 SWB tractor offers four speeds: 540, 540Eco 1000 and 1000Eco rpm. The Power Plus system automatically increases power available when the PTO is operational, allowing the engine to maintain a constant power as the load varies. The front hitch has a lift capacity of 3500 kg, while the rear hitch is capable of lifting up to 9300 kg and is equipped with lower link draft sensing for precise implement control. For added versatility, the X7 SWB allows the use of rear and front implement combinations.
