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.

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.
