SPEEDS 1

Description With 18.4R34 rear tires and 40 KPH transmission. Reverse speeds are 15% faster than forward in the same gear

TRANSMISSION 2

The McCormick Intl MC120 tractor features a partial power shift transmission with a creeper range, providing a total of 32 forward and 24 reverse gears; this significantly enhances its versatility for tasks requiring slow and precise movements, such as plowing or planting. The dual-speed capability offered by the creeper range can improve operational efficiency in tight workspaces or varied terrain, although it may introduce complexity in gear shifting for the operator. Ensure compatibility of the transmission's design with your intended applications, as it excels in agricultural tasks but may not be optimal for high-speed transport scenarios.

MCCORMICK INTL MC120 TIRES

The McCormick Intl MC120 tractor is equipped with two tire options depending on the drivetrain configuration—2WD or 4WD—allowing flexibility for different agricultural needs. The 2WD variant utilizes standard ag tires with larger front tires (11.00x16) improving traction, while the 4WD option offers enhanced stability and reduced soil compaction with wider front tires (14.9x28). Pros of 4WD include superior maneuverability in challenging terrain, though it typically results in increased ownership costs and maintenance complexity compared to 2WD.
