Not every farm needs the biggest tractor in the range. Many need something that covers large acreages efficiently, handles high-demand implements without compromise, and moves with the agility to work effectively across varied field sizes and layouts. The McCormick X7 SWB is built for exactly that.
With up to 175 hp, a choice of proven Stage V engines and advanced transmission options, full precision farming compatibility, and a Premiere cab designed for genuine working comfort, the X7 SWB delivers the performance and technology of a full open field tractor in a shorter, more manoeuvrable package. For farms that need capability without bulk, it is a serious machine at a serious level of specification.
Farm and Fleet Services supplies the McCormick open field range to farms and agricultural businesses across the South West. Get in touch with the team for honest, practical guidance on the X7 SWB and the full McCormick range.
The X7 SWB gives you a genuine choice of engine to match the requirements of your farm and equipment.
FPT NEF 67 — 6.7-litre, 24-valve, 6-cylinder
The larger engine option delivers strong torque and smooth power across the rev range, making it the right choice for operations running demanding cultivation equipment, heavy trailed machinery, or consistent high-load field work. Stage V compliant with the HI-eSCR2 after-treatment system, it combines clean, efficient combustion with the output needed for serious open field work.
FPT NEF 45 — 4.5-litre, 16-valve, 4-cylinder
The four-cylinder option offers a more compact, efficient powerplant for farms where 175 hp is the target and reduced weight or lower running costs are a priority. Stage V compliant and built on the same proven FPT platform, it delivers reliable, consistent performance across a broad range of arable and mixed farm applications.
Both engines produce up to 175 hp, with the option of engine power management providing additional output when conditions demand it.
The X7 SWB continues the McCormick tradition of offering genuine transmission choice — so the machine can be configured to suit your farming system and how you prefer to work.
VT-Drive Continuously Variable Transmission
The four-stage VT-Drive CVT delivers seamless, uninterrupted power without gear changes. It continuously and automatically finds the most efficient combination of engine speed and ground speed to match the load — reducing fuel consumption, keeping momentum consistent, and significantly reducing driver fatigue across long operating hours. For operations running large acreages with repetitive field passes, the VT-Drive pays for itself in efficiency and operator productivity.
P6-Drive Transmission
The P6-Drive offers six powershift speeds across five robotised ranges, with electronically controlled automatic powershift and range shifting managed through the EasyPilot console. It gives you a wide spread of working speeds, smooth and responsive shifting, and the intuitive control of a modern powershift system — adaptable across a full range of tasks and farming applications. A creeper option extends the gear count further for the most demanding slow-speed work.
Both options bring a high standard of transmission engineering to a tractor that can be matched precisely to your operation.
The X7 SWB is equipped with a CCLS hydraulic system producing 160 l/min — giving you the flow needed to run high-demand mounted implements efficiently and without restriction. The closed-centre load-sensing design delivers flow on demand, reducing energy waste and keeping the hydraulic system responsive across varied operating conditions. Whether you are running a folding drill, a large cultivator, or front and rear implements simultaneously, the X7 SWB's hydraulic system keeps up.
The X7 SWB is equipped with EasySteer, McCormick's integrated automatic steering system, giving you the accuracy to reduce input overlap, improve drilling precision, and maintain consistent passes across the field without continuous manual correction. Paired with PSM (Precision Steering Management), the system delivers high-accuracy guidance that directly improves output quality and reduces input costs at scale.
Full ISOBUS compatibility connects the X7 SWB seamlessly with modern implements and in-cab terminals. Control and monitor your equipment from a single interface, reduce cab clutter, and keep your attention where it belongs — on the field, not on multiple displays.
McCormick Fleet and Remote Diagnostics Management provides real-time access to machine performance data, fault codes, and operational information — for both the operator and your dealer. Problems are flagged early, planned maintenance is easier to manage, and unplanned downtime is reduced. For businesses running multiple machines, fleet management adds a layer of operational visibility that directly supports productivity.
McCormick Farm links your tractor's operational data to your farm management platform, giving you a clearer picture of performance, efficiency, and field records — and supporting more informed decisions across your farming operation.
The X7 SWB's Premiere cab is designed around the operator — because a comfortable, focused operator is a more productive one. With automotive-grade fit and finish and a control layout designed for intuitive, low-fatigue operation, it sets a high standard for working comfort in this tractor class.
Whether the day runs to six hours or twelve, the Premiere cab keeps the operator in the right condition to work effectively from start to finish.
The X7 SWB is built for farms and operations where agility and performance need to work together:
The X7 SWB sits within a strong McCormick open field line-up available at Farm and Fleet Services — from the flagship X8 VT-Drive and the X7.6 LWB through to models suited to a broad range of operational scales and requirements. Whatever your horsepower target, transmission preference, or field conditions, the McCormick open field range has a machine built to match.
The team at Farm and Fleet Services can talk through the full range, compare specifications side by side, and help you identify the right model for your farm, business, and budget — with straightforward advice and no pressure.
What horsepower does the McCormick X7 SWB produce?
The X7 SWB produces up to 175 hp, available with either a 6.7-litre six-cylinder FPT NEF 67 or a 4.5-litre four-cylinder FPT NEF 45 engine — both Stage V compliant and built for consistent, reliable open field performance.
What is the difference between the VT-Drive and P6-Drive options on the X7 SWB?
The VT-Drive is a four-stage continuously variable transmission that delivers seamless, automatic power management without gear changes — optimising fuel efficiency and reducing driver fatigue. The P6-Drive offers six powershift speeds across five robotised ranges, providing flexible and intuitive control across a wide variety of tasks. The right choice depends on your farming system and working preference — the Farm and Fleet Services team can help you decide.
What guidance and precision farming systems does the X7 SWB support?
The X7 SWB features EasySteer automatic steering, PSM Precision Steering Management, full ISOBUS compatibility, Fleet and Remote Diagnostics Management, and McCormick Farm connectivity — a complete precision farming package integrated as standard.
What hydraulic flow does the X7 SWB deliver?
The X7 SWB provides 160 l/min through a CCLS closed-centre load-sensing hydraulic system — sufficient for high-demand mounted implements and simultaneous front and rear hydraulic operation.
Why choose a short wheelbase tractor?
The SWB configuration offers improved manoeuvrability in smaller fields, tighter headlands, and more confined working environments — without sacrificing the power, technology, or cab quality of the larger models in the McCormick open field range.
Can I arrange to see the McCormick X7 SWB before buying?
Yes. Contact Farm and Fleet Services to check availability, discuss full specification, or arrange a closer look at the machine.
If you are looking for a compact, high-performance open field tractor with genuine precision farming technology, flexible engine and transmission options, and a cab built for the demands of a full working day, the McCormick X7 SWB is a machine worth serious consideration. Farm and Fleet Services can walk you through the full specification, compare it against other models in the range, and help you make the right choice for your operation.
