ENGINE DETAIL

The McCormick Intl GX40 is powered by a Yanmar 3-cylinder diesel engine, offering a compact displacement of 1.6L with a respectable gross power output of 37.5hp and peak torque of 75.9 lb-ft at 1800 RPM. Its direct injection fuel system and high compression ratio of 18:1 provide efficient combustion, enhancing fuel economy while maintaining performance for light to moderate agricultural tasks. However, the relatively low power rating may limit its capabilities for heavy-duty applications, making it ideal for smaller farms or specialized uses requiring maneuverability in tight spaces.

MCCORMICK INTL GX40 ENGINE

The McCormick Intl GX40 is powered by a Yanmar 1.6L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offering a compact yet efficient power output suitable for small to medium farming operations. With a fuel tank capacity of 13.2 gallons (50.0 liters), it provides a decent range for extended tasks, reducing downtime for refueling in field operations. However, the small engine size may limit heavy load capacities; thus, it's ideal for lighter agricultural tasks, landscaping, or municipal work.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The McCormick Intl GX40 features either a hydrostatic or synchronized shuttle transmission, offering flexibility for varying operational speeds; the 12-speed hydrostatic is suited for precise control in tight areas, while the 16-speed synchronized shuttle with creeper gear enhances low-speed maneuverability for tasks like tilling or planting. Each transmission type offers improved operator comfort, but hydrostatic may present challenges in maintenance compared to synchronized systems, which provide better efficiency at higher speeds. In scenarios requiring consistent speed transitions, the synchronized shuttle may prove advantageous over hydrostatic systems.

TRANSMISSION 1

The McCormick Intl GX40 features a hydrostatic transmission, providing seamless speed control and easy maneuverability, especially in varied terrain conditions. With its infinite (3-range) forward and reverse gears, operators can quickly adapt to different task requirements, enhancing productivity in tasks such as loader work or tilling. However, the nature of hydrostatic systems may lead to increased maintenance costs and potential overheating under prolonged heavy loads.

Gears infinite (3-range) forward and reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The McCormick Intl GX40 features a synchronized shuttle transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, allowing for seamless operation and efficient gear selection during various farming tasks. The 225mm mechanical dry disc clutch provides reliable engagement and disengagement but may require more frequent maintenance compared to hydraulic systems under heavy use. This tractor is well-suited for applications requiring frequent direction changes, such as loader work or field tillage, enhancing productivity on medium-sized farms.

TRANSMISSION 3

The McCormick Intl GX40 tractor features a synchronized shuttle transmission with a creeper option, allowing for smooth directional changes and enhanced low-speed control, ideal for precise tasks such as tilling or planting. With 16 forward and reverse gears, operators can efficiently manage varying field conditions and loads. The 225mm mechanical dry disc clutch provides reliable engagement but may require more frequent maintenance compared to hydraulic options, which could be a consideration for long-term durability.

MECHANICAL

The McCormick Intl GX40 tractor offers versatile 4WD options, enhancing traction in diverse field conditions, while the electro-hydraulic differential lock optimizes power distribution to prevent wheel slippage. Its hydrostatic power steering provides excellent maneuverability, but the optional cab air-conditioning may increase initial costs. The available 12-speed and 16-speed synchronized shuttle transmissions with creeper gear enhance productivity in varying operational scenarios, from precision row crop work to heavy-duty tasks.

MCCORMICK INTL GX40 TIRES

The McCormick Intl GX40 tractor offers standard agricultural tires with a front size of 200/70R16 and a rear of 320/70R20, suitable for various field conditions and enhancing traction. Optional tire sizes provide flexibility for different farming applications, including 4WD setups, which improve stability and performance on uneven terrain, and allow tailored configurations for both 2WD and 4WD depending on workload needs. However, selecting the appropriate tire size is crucial, as improper sizing can affect handling, fuel efficiency, and overall operational effectiveness.
