TECHNOLOGY
McCormick Smart Power Zero
Smart Power Zero, a system similar to the Hill Holder in the automotive sector, allows the tractor to remain stationary in any slope condition once the shuttle is engaged until the accelerator pedal or EasyPilot joystick is operated. At the same time, this application communicates with the trailer braking system. This control means that the brake pedal does not need to be actuated all the time and ensures the safety of the operator and those near the work site. A further advantage of the Smart Power Zero function is that it facilitates manoeuvres when approaching equipment during connection.
DSM Data Screen Manager
12” touch-screen monitor
The control unit is configured via the Data Screen Manager (DSM) for easy tractor operation.
Integrated into the multifunctional armrest, the intuitive DSM 12-inch touch-screen monitor with its simple tablet-like graphic interface allows the operator to set up and control the tractor in a quick and simple manner.
McCormick SEMI-ACTIVE CAB
Cab Suspension, the new semi-active cab suspension system isolates the tractor body from the wheel vibrations induced by uneven ground conditions, ensuring maximum ride comfort and safety on all terrains.
Stop & Action System
The Stop&Action system integrates the De-clutch function into the brake pedal. This allows the operator to stop the tractor without depressing the clutch pedal and without using the power shuttle. Using the Stop&Action system combined with the APS function, the P6-Drive transmission ensures a smooth driving, comparable to that of a CVT transmission.
Smart APS Auto Powershift
On the X7 range, the P6-Drive transmission can be controlled both manually and automatically. Based on load conditions, engine speed and rpm, the Auto Powershift (Smart APS) facility allows the operator to automatically select the right gear in each range for best performance and optimum fuel economy. The Smart APS dial in the armrest allows the engine speed parameters to be adjusted from an ECO through to a Power setting.
McCormick Fleet Management
Fleet Management is the telematic system that lets you monitor the key tasks of your fleet of tractors to maximise efficiency.
What are the advantages of Fleet Management?
- monitor your fleet in real time, as you receive constantly updated information and data on the activity of your machines;
- analyse data to determine operating costs and optimise returns;
- rely on remote diagnostics and servicing to quickly identify and resolve any issues with the machines.
HUMAN FACTOR
The person in the spotlight
“The Human factor” is new software developed by Argo Tractors in co-operation with Università Politecnico di Milano and will be exhibited in the EIMA Service Center as a 2016 Technical Innovation.
VT-DRIVE TRANSMISSION
The VT-Drive transmission of the X6.4 Series tractors is a continuously variable transmission (CVT) developed by Argo Tractors that provides an infinite number of speed ratios from zero to the maximum speed permitted in the country of use.
ISOBUS CONTROL
The ISOBUS system allows communication between tractor, implement and on-board computer by synchronizing the data exchange for improved operating efficiency.
NEW PREMIERE CAB
Unequalled visibility and total comfort
. When sitting behind the wheel of a McCormick X7 Series tractor, you will enjoy the panoramic view only a Premiere cab can provide. Whether you choose an Efficient version with mechanical spool valves on a fender console or a Premium version with electric valves on a seat-mounted console, everything falls easily to hand, with the fixed or proportional EasyPilot controller allowing the operator fingertip control of all tractor functions.
The air-suspended swivel seat with antivibration system and backrest ventilation combined with cab and independent front axle suspension minimizes shocks ensuring the operator 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.
