Everything you need to know about the McCormick X4F PLAT, brought together to help you buy with complete confidence.
Engine & Performance
How much power does the X4F PLAT deliver?
The X4F PLAT delivers from 75 to 112 hp from its Deutz TCD Stage V four-cylinder engine, with a 2.9-litre displacement. That gives you reliable strength for spraying, mulching and demanding work between the rows, with a power level to suit your operation precisely.
Is the X4F PLAT engine emissions compliant?
Yes. The Deutz TCD engine meets Stage V emissions regulations, so you enjoy clean, compliant performance without compromising on day-to-day usability. You can work with complete confidence, knowing the tractor is built to current standards.
What kind of farm is the X4F PLAT best suited to?
The X4F PLAT is a specialist platform tractor designed for orchards, vineyards and row crops. Its sleek, compact lines and open station let it move easily between the rows, making it the ideal partner for productive, precise work in tight spaces.
Transmission
What transmission options are available?
You can choose from several excellent transmissions to match the way you work. The Speed Four offers 4 speeds and 3 ranges with either synchro or power shuttle, or 4 ranges with creeper. You can also specify Hi-Lo Power Four or HML XtraShift.
How does the Speed Four transmission work?
Speed Four gives you 4 speeds across 3 ranges, with a choice of synchro or power shuttle, or 4 ranges when you add the creeper for slow, precise tasks. It's a smooth, dependable setup that keeps your work flowing whatever the job in hand.
How easy is it to change direction?
The Reverse Power Shuttle features electronically modulated shuttle response, giving you quick, smooth changes of direction. It's ideal for headland turns and repetitive row work, helping you stay productive and comfortable throughout a long day.
Hydraulics & Lift
How capable is the hydraulic system?
The X4F PLAT uses a highly configurable open-centre hydraulic system. You can specify a dual pump with a 58 + 30 l/min flow rate, or a triple pump with 30 + 58 + 36 l/min, with up to 88 l/min supplied to the rear hitch and remotes for fast, responsive operation.
What is the lift capacity?
The electronic rear hitch lifts up to 2,700 kg as standard, rising to a generous 3,400 kg on the XL version. You'll have the muscle to handle a wide range of implements with complete confidence.
What makes using the rear hitch easier?
The ELS Ergonomic Lift System is designed for easier, faster use of the rear hitch. It's a thoughtful touch that helps you attach and adjust implements quickly, keeping your work flowing smoothly from one task to the next.
Platform & Comfort
What makes the platform comfortable to work on?
The X4F PLAT offers a spacious, comfortable platform suspended on Hydro-Silent Blocks for a smooth, refined ride. With a super comfortable air-suspended seat and ergonomically designed, intuitive controls, it's a genuinely pleasant place to spend long days in the rows.
How low is the driving position?
On the GB version, the driving position is the lowest in the segment. This keeps the tractor wonderfully manageable beneath low canopies and branches, helping you move confidently through orchards and vineyards.
How easy is it to get on and off?
Access to the driving position is easy and completely unhindered, so you can climb on and off with ease throughout a busy day. You'll also enjoy full all-round visibility, even at close range, for safe, assured work in tight spaces.
Can the tractor be made more compact for low canopies?
Yes. Any elements rising above the bonnet line can be folded down, keeping the overall profile beautifully low. This makes the X4F PLAT especially well suited to working beneath dense foliage and low-hanging fruit.
Efficiency & Maintenance
How often does the X4F PLAT need servicing?
Maintenance intervals are extended to 1,000 hours, helping to keep downtime to a minimum. This means more time working productively and less time on routine upkeep across your busy season.
What helps with traction and stability?
A suspended front axle is available on the F and XL versions, giving you a smoother, more controlled ride. You can also specify reinforced Waffle rims to support higher loads during work and provide extra stability during transport.
Is there a choice of tyres?
Yes. The X4F PLAT offers a wide choice of tyres, so you can tailor the tractor precisely to your ground conditions and the demands of your crop. This flexibility helps you get the most from every pass.
Connectivity
How can I manage my tractor and fleet remotely?
The X4F PLAT supports Fleet & Remote Diagnostics Management alongside the McCormick Farm app. Together these help you monitor performance, plan tasks and stay connected to your machine wherever you are.
