ENGINE DETAIL

The McCormick Intl XTX185 tractor features a robust Iveco 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 6.7L, delivering 162 hp at 2200 RPM, making it suitable for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. With a torque peak of 157.4 lb-ft at 1100 RPM, it provides excellent low-end power for plowing and hauling, but the relatively high compression ratio could lead to increased thermal stress under prolonged heavy loads. Overall, this tractor is advantageous for demanding farming applications but may require careful monitoring of engine temperature during extensive operation to prevent overheating.
