McCormick shows off power and technology As Wrights was going to press, McCormick was due to present its latest new products at Eima in November. Among the many new additions to its range, the X7.6 P6-Drive series will take centre stage. The McCormick X7.6 Series is available in five models, X7.650, X7.660, X7.670, X7.680 and X7.690 with horsepower starting at 151hp, up to the 225hp power output of the X7.690 model, recently added to the range. The X7.6 P6-Drive has been thoroughly updated for enhanced comfort and performance and added onboard technology, making the vehicle user friendly and reducing maintenance costs. Its
key strengths remain the high quality of the materials used, care for detail, the spacious and quiet cab, and the fact that it is easy to drive. The 6.7-litre 24-valve engine is Stage IV-compliant and uses the DOC and SCR (selective catalyst reduction) systems for exhaust gas treatment and has no DPF (for lower maintenance costs). The Cooling Matrix system facilitates opening of the under-hood radiators for unrivalled cleaning convenience. Transport mode is enhanced by the exhaust brake system which, in combination with the throttle valve of the turbocharger, enables the operator to reduce engine
rpm by operating the engine brake, this reduces brake wear during long hill descents as the operator can easily check the speed of the vehicle. The transmission offers 30 forward and 15 reverse gears thanks to six Powershift gears and five ranges. With the creeper option, 54 and
27 speeds become available, respectively. The Smart Auto Powershift feature facilitates automatic shifting between gears and ranges, with the electronics choosing the correct gear for the job in hand, with no need for operator intervention.
