Overview

The McCormick X4 F platform range is built for specialist crop environments where space is limited and precision matters. These tractors are designed to deliver strong performance while staying easy to handle, comfortable to operate and efficient to run.

This range is especially well suited to:

• Orchard work
• Low orchard applications
• Greenhouse work
• Overhead trellis systems
• Wide-row orchards
• Open-field specialist work

Key benefits include:

• Compact design for tight working spaces
• Power outputs from around 70 hp up to 112 hp
• Strong visibility and easy access
• Low fuel consumption and flexible performance
• Transmission options to suit different workloads
• Hydraulic setups for front-mounted and rear-mounted implements
• Reduced operator fatigue during long working days

Specialist Configurations

One of the biggest strengths of the McCormick X4 platform range is the choice of versions available. Each one is designed around a specific type of specialist work.

F for orchards

The F version is a strong all-round choice for orchard work, offering the balance of width, stability and manoeuvrability needed for everyday specialist tasks.

GE for low orchards

The GE version is designed for low orchard work, making it easier to operate under branches and in areas where height is limited.

GB for greenhouses and overhead trellis systems

The GB version is built for greenhouses and overhead trellis systems. It features a very low driver position, making it especially effective in low canopy environments such as kiwi plantations.

XL for wide orchards and open field

The XL version is suited to wide orchards and open-field work, giving operators a broader specialist platform for applications that need extra width and versatility.

This choice makes it easier to select the right tractor for your crop type, row spacing and working conditions.

Engine and Power

The X4 F/GE/GB/XL range uses 2.9-litre four-cylinder Deutz engines designed to deliver the right mix of output, economy and flexibility for specialist work. These engines are built to provide responsive performance while helping keep fuel use under control.

Across the range, power starts at around 70 hp and rises to 112 hp, giving customers a practical spread of options for lighter duties through to more demanding specialist applications.

Engine highlights include:

• 2.9-litre four-cylinder Deutz engines
• Power range from around 70 hp to 112 hp
• Strong flexibility in changing working conditions
• Low fuel consumption
• Smooth, usable power delivery
• Straightforward operation for day-to-day work

Fuel capacity is designed to support long working days:

• 80-litre fuel tanks on standard versions
• 90-litre fuel tank on XL versions

The result is a tractor range that is easy to live with and well suited to specialist businesses that need reliable daily performance.

Transmission Options

The McCormick X4 platform range offers transmission choices to suit different working styles and application demands.

Operators can choose from:

• 12 forward and 12 reverse speeds with synchro shuttle
• Up to 48 forward and 16 reverse speeds with three-stage powershift and power shuttle

This gives the range the flexibility to handle slow, careful work in tight rows as well as more varied tasks where extra speed choice improves output and control.

Transmission benefits include:

• Easy matching of speed to task
• Smooth direction changes
• Better control in confined spaces
• Strong versatility across specialist crop work
• Reduced effort for the operator during repetitive manoeuvres

For growers and specialist operators, that means better productivity and easier working days.

Operator Platform and Visibility

The operator area is designed to keep the driver comfortable, confident and productive. The wide, comfortable platform is mounted on silent blocks to help reduce vibration and improve day-long comfort.

Platform features include:

• Wide and comfortable operator platform
• Platform mounted on silent blocks
• Easy, unobstructed access to the driving position
• Strong all-round visibility
• Ergonomically arranged controls
• Layout designed to reduce fatigue

These features matter in specialist work, where long hours, frequent turning and close implement control can quickly become tiring.

A standout feature in the range is the very low driver position of the GB model, which makes it particularly useful for working under low canopies and specialist growing structures. For crops such as kiwi, this can make a real difference to access and ease of operation.

Hydraulics and Implement Control

The X4 F/GE/GB/XL platform range is built to work efficiently with specialist implements. McCormick offers hydraulic configurations that allow operators to match the tractor to the demands of the job.

Double pump hydraulic system

The standard double pump setup provides:

• 50 l/min for linkage functions
• 28 l/min for steering

Triple pump hydraulic system

An optional triple pump arrangement provides:

• 36 l/min
• 58 l/min
• 28 l/min

This setup is ideal for operators using more demanding implements or needing extra hydraulic capability for specialist attachments.

Additional features include:

• Optional front ventral spool valves
• Joystick control for front-mounted implements
• Better control of specialist tools and attachments
• Productive operation in narrow rows and crop-specific environments

These hydraulic options help the X4 platform range stay versatile across a wide mix of specialist tasks, while supporting precise implement control and efficient working.
