New McCormick MC agricultural tractor range: more comfort, functionality and modernity

A new operator station offering more comfort and better visibility, a more modern and functional ventilation and air conditioning system, a more attractive design and new comfort options: these, in a nutshell, are the developments brought to this new McCormick MC 4 cylinder 2010 version range.

The new McCormick MC series of agricultural tractors is available in 3 4-cylinder models, MC110, MC115 and MC130, developing respective power outputs of 102, 110 and 126 ch Iso.

All three are powered by a 4-cylinder turbo Intercooler engine of Caterpillar / Perkins origin. The two smallest models in the range are fitted with a mechanical injection system, while the MC130 features a Common Rail injection system coupled with a cylinder head with 4 valves per cylinder.

The tractors in the MC range combine a compact size close to that of their little brothers, the CX, with hydraulic specifications and transmissions inherited from the 6-cylinder MTX range.

As a result, all models in the MC range come as standard with a closed-centre Load Sensing hydraulic circuit of 109 L/min and the MC12/MTX3 transmission designed and manufactured in France.

This transmission uses a genuine hydraulic reverser with a multi-disc double clutch, allowing the direction of travel to be reversed without torque interruption, all coupled with 4 mechanical ranges.

In each of the ranges, the McCormick MC user has 4 powershift ratios, making it possible to vary speed effortlessly.

As an option, the 4 mechanical-shift ranges can be robotised. In this case, the gear lever is replaced by a multifunction

grip combining the gearbox controls as well as the lift controls.

From an aesthetic point of view, this new McCormick MC 2010 model year range gains in modernity.

With its redesigned grille, its new cab with 4 pillars and its new rear fenders, this new range of MC tractors looks completely revolutionised compared with the previous generation of MC. Only the upper part of the one-piece hood has been retained.

In the cab, the user will appreciate the space available, as well as the brightness inside this new cab.

Quieter, more user-friendly and free of side pillars, it is also easier to enter thanks to its wide doors, which provide full access to the operator station. The latter has also been redesigned, as it receives a

brand-new dashboard that is more efficient and also easier to read. The right-hand console features a new colour code making it easier to tell the controls apart. The steering column, adjustable for height and reach, receives a new steering wheel shared with the brand's other ranges.

On this 2010 version of the MC, all the controls have also been made lighter, as illustrated by the completely redesigned braking system aimed at reducing the effort required on the brake pedals.

Available in two heights, with a glazed roof as standard, the high cab (20 cm taller) has the same glazed roof, which becomes openable, as well as a new, more efficient and more even air conditioning and heating system.

To improve working conditions at night, the new MC receives new work lights that are more numerous (up to 14) and more powerful.

Finally, for optimal comfort in the cab, MC range models can be fitted with the Carraro independent-suspension front axle, which can be deactivated from the operator station.

Compared with a conventional front axle suspension system, it not only offers superior comfort but also improves the tractor's traction thanks to the permanent contact of the wheels with the ground.
