ENGINE DETAIL
The McCormick Intl GX50 tractor is powered by a Yanmar 2.2L diesel engine, delivering a gross power output of 49hp at 2800 RPM, which provides sufficient torque (102.2 lb-ft) at a low 1600 RPM for demanding tasks. Its dry element air cleaner and direct injection fuel system enhance efficiency and reduce maintenance concerns, contributing to a reliable operation in various agricultural scenarios. However, the relatively high compression ratio of 18:1 may require more attention to fuel quality to prevent knocking.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The McCormick Intl GX50 tractor offers a hydrostatic 12-speed synchronized shuttle option, enabling smooth and effortless speed control, ideal for precision tasks in varied terrain. Alternatively, the 16-speed synchronized shuttle with creeper allows for enhanced low-speed maneuverability, perfect for tasks requiring maximum torque and control, such as loader operations or tillage. It's crucial to assess the operational needs and terrain when choosing between the two transmission options to optimize efficiency and performance.
