ENGINE DETAIL

The McCormick Intl X4.20 tractor features a Deutz C4DT62 engine with a displacement of 2.9L, producing 61hp and a maximum power output of 64hp, optimized for tasks requiring reliable torque delivery at 1600 RPM (180 lb-ft). Its common rail fuel system enhances fuel atomization, improving combustion efficiency while meeting Interim Tier IV emissions standards through cooled EGR and a DOC, making it suitable for environmentally conscious operations. However, operators should consider the implications of emissions regulations on agricultural practices and expect possible increased maintenance associated with the emission control systems.

MCCORMICK INTL X4.20 ENGINE

The McCormick Intl X4.20 tractor is powered by a Deutz 2.9L 4-cylinder diesel engine, offering a balance of horsepower and fuel efficiency, ideal for medium-duty agricultural tasks. Its 23.7-gallon fuel tank provides extended operation time, enabling efficient fieldwork without frequent refueling. However, the engine's displacement may limit torque output compared to larger engines, necessitating careful consideration of load capacities during heavy-duty applications.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The McCormick Intl X4.20 features a 12-speed partially synchronized power shuttle that enhances operator control during directional changes, providing smooth transitions for efficient field operations. This system allows for precise speed selection, which is beneficial for applications requiring varied fieldwork such as tilling or loading. However, the partial synchronization may require operators to match speeds manually in some situations, potentially affecting efficiency during rapid shifts between forward and reverse gears.

TRANSMISSION 1

The McCormick Intl X4.20 tractor features a partially synchronized transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, providing operators the flexibility needed for varied tasks and terrain. The 280mm dry disc clutch offers reliable engagement but may require more frequent maintenance compared to hydraulic systems. This setup is advantageous for precise maneuvering in confined spaces, though less efficient in terms of shifting speed compared to fully synchronized systems, potentially impacting productivity in high-demand applications.

Type partially synchronized
Gears 12 forward and reverse
Clutch 280mm dry disc
Description Four synchronized gears in three ranges with mechanical shuttle

TRANSMISSION 2

The McCormick Intl X4.20 features a hydraulic wet disc clutch and a power shuttle system, enhancing operator ease during forward and reverse shifting without clutch disengagement. Its 12 gears (4 synchronized in 3 ranges) provide versatility for various field applications, accommodating different terrain and load conditions. However, the complexity of the transmission system may necessitate specialized maintenance to ensure optimal performance.

MECHANICAL

The McCormick Intl X4.20 features a robust 4x4 MFWD system, enhancing traction and stability for diverse terrains, making it suitable for a variety of agricultural tasks. The mechanical rear differential lock ensures optimal power distribution during challenging conditions, while the hydraulic wet disc brakes provide consistent stopping performance under load. The availability of an optional air-conditioned cab increases operator comfort during extended use, which can enhance productivity but may add to the initial cost.
