MCCORMICK X8, ALL THE POWER YOU NEED
At McCormick high power has a name: The X8.
Boasting over 300 hp, the X8 tractor series combines true power with comfort and style. Specially designed for demanding contractors who work full time on farming businesses, X8 tractors have been developed with an eye for the functional potential offered by electronics and designed to seamlessly integrate future technologies.
To meet tomorrow’s challenges, the X8 series offers the operator a variety of high-grade features: automotive-style hood and fenders, a fully redesigned Premiere Cab with ergonomically-arranged, easy-to-use controls for the four-stage VT-Drive transmission, a bright DSM touchscreen monitor, a high-performance hydraulic system with up to 212 l/min flow rate and electro-hydraulic remote valves, and powerful Betapower Fuel Efficiency engines capable of delivering up to 310 hp for the X8.680 model.
New X8 VT-Drive Range: a perfect blend of power and style
ALWAYS READY TO WORK When sitting behind the wheel of the X8, you will enjoy the panoramic view only a Premiere Cab can provide. The VT Easy Pilot handle allows the operator fingertip control of all tractor functions. The air-suspended swivel seat with anti-vibration system and backrest ventilation combined with cab and independent front axle suspension minimizes shock ensuring the operator has a superior ride comfort in any condition. The automotive-grade fit and finish further enhances the operator comfort. The cab is pressurized to keep a clean, dust-free environment, while a highly-efficient automatic climate control maintains the desired cab temperature whatever the outdoor weather conditions.

- Engine: FPT 6.7L, 6-cylinder diesel engine / 6-cylinder
- Power: Boasting over 300 HP
- Transmission: VT-Drive Continuously Variable Transmission
- Engine: The X8 series tractors feature FPT NEF67 Iso-mounted engine, StageV, TACR, HI-eSCR2 6.7L, six-cylinder engines that deliver power ratings of 264, 286 and 310 hp. These engines are equipped with electronically-controlled variable-geometry turbocharger, common rail injection system and SCR exhaust gas after-treatment technology and meet Tier4 emission regulations. The engine is located within a rugged chassis which helps reduce noise and vibration levels within the cab. The tilt-up hood opens wide to provide easy access to the engine compartment for routine service and maintenance. The coolers located in front of the radiator open fully from a single latch to provide easy cleaning in dusty conditions.
- Transmission: The VT-Drive transmission is a continuously variable transmission that provides an infinite number of speed ratios from zero to the maximum speed.. This transmission offers four speed ranges that allow the use of specific implements at varying speeds which can be programmed by the operator. ? The VT Easy Pilot handle integrated into the multi-function armrest features a series of buttons that allow the operator to select speeds and ranges and to operate different functions such as the remote shuttle, rear hitch raise lower, cruise control, one remote valve and the headland management. All functions are clearly displayed on the instrument panel and on the DSM touch screen monitor.
- Axles: Outstanding traction and excellent maneuverability ensure optimum grip and stability, resulting in improved driving comfort in the field and on the road. The front suspended axle with center pivot is equipped with wet multi-disc brakes, fourwheel drive engagement and full locking differentials. Specially designed to match the power of the X8, the rear axle is sturdy and reliable and features wet multi-disc brakes.
- Hydraulic System: The X8 series tractors feature a closed-center hydraulic system with variable-displacement pump. This means that the pump always delivers exactly the quantity of oil that the system requires, thereby eliminating unnecessary power waste. A high-flow pump provides 212 l/min of flow. The electronically-controlled rear hitch is equipped with lower link draft sensing for accurate implement control and provides a maximum lift capacity of 26,450 lbs (12000 kg). ? The X8 tractors come standard with 4 electro-hydraulically controlled rear remote valves.
- PTO: The X8 range has been designed to operate in a variety of conditions with heavy, power-demanding implements. The PTO offers three speeds: 540Eco, 1000 and 1000Eco rpm and the driveline design ensures minimal power loss and therefore maximum productivity. ? An electro-hydraulically operated clutch enables smooth and modulated engagement of the PTO, ensuring a soft start-up of the implement. External PTO and hitch controls are located on the rear fenders making it easier to attach implements from the ground.
- McCormick enters the era of precision farming, equipping its entire range with an advanced digital platform that boosts tractor performance and efficiency while significantly reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
