Clutch 279.4mm mechanical dry disc
Description Four gears in three ranges.

TRANSMISSION 2

The McCormick Intl B90 Max features a mechanical shuttle transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, offering versatility for various field operations. This design facilitates smooth direction changes, improving efficiency during tasks such as plowing and harrowing. However, operators may face a learning curve in mastering the gear selection for optimal performance in diverse conditions.

MECHANICAL

The McCormick Intl B90 Max offers a versatile drivetrain with 2WD and 4WD configurations, making it suitable for various terrains; however, the lack of advanced features like full traction control can be a consideration in extreme conditions. Its mechanical wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power but may require more maintenance than dry brakes. The available 12-speed and 24-speed transmission options enhance operational efficiency, providing smoother transitions between speeds for both transporting and fieldwork scenarios.

MCCORMICK INTL B90 MAX TIRES

The McCormick Intl B90 Max tractor features standard agricultural tires, providing a balance between traction and flotation on various terrains. The 2WD option with narrower front tires (7.50-20) may enhance maneuverability in tight spaces but could reduce stability in soft soils. In contrast, the 4WD configuration with wider tires (405/70R20 front and 540/65R30 rear) significantly improves traction and power transfer, making it ideal for heavy tillage or hilly terrains, although it may increase rollover risk and fuel consumption.

Standard tires (ag) Front: 12.4-24. Rear: 18.4-30
2WD Optional tires (ag) Front: 7.50-20. Rear: 18.4-30
