EIMA International '10.2021

14 April 2022

AgriArgo UK, the UK and Ireland branch of McCormick tractor maker ARGO Tractors, will once again have a large presence at the rescheduled LAMMA 2022 (4-5 May, NEC, Birmingham), and plans to give a UK national show debut to a number of new models, on the back of multiple new dealer signings across its McCormick brand.

The new X7 SWB range comprises four semi-powershift P6-Drive transmission models and two VT-Drive CVT tractors. Four-cylinder powerplants feature in the X7.417 P6-Drive (165hp max) and X7.418 P6-Drive (175hp max), while there are six-cylinder engines in the X7.617 and X7.618, which have the same power ratings. The two VT-Drive CVT tractors are the 175hp/four-cyl X7.418 and the 175hp/six-cyl X7.618. With both transmission types the specification includes a ‘Stop and Action’ clutch/brake system, which disengages drive via the brake pedals.

All engines, which are sourced from FPT, meet Stage V emissions regulations. Turbocharged and intercooled, they feature a common rail electronic fuel injection system providing increased responsiveness, lower fuel consumption and reduced emissions. Utilising the exhaust throttle valve, engine braking allows the tractor to be slowed by operating the engine brake with the rear brakes.

Bonnet styling has been refreshed in line with other McCormick tractors, and the bonnet lifts to 90 degrees for full service access. A 3,500kg-capacity front linkage has been redesigned to enhance visibility. Rear lift capacity is 9,300kg, and up to eight spool valves can be specified at the rear, with a choice of 123 or 160 l/min closed-centre hydraulic systems.

Comfort-wise the mechanical cab suspension provides plenty of dampening and paired with the independent front suspension ensures maximum road and field comfort. Wheelbase is 2,651mm on four-cylinder models and 2,760mm on six-cylinder tractors.
