The X7.6 tractor range is powered by new FPT N67 engines. These 6.7L, six-cylinder turbo engines with multivalve technology and electronic common rail injection system meet Stage V emissions regulations. The engines are located within a rugged chassis which helps reduce noise and vibration levels within the cab. The engine cooling is ensured by an electronically-controlled Viscotronic fan, which is standard on the entire range. This solution improves cooling efficiency while reducing fuel consumption and noise levels. The new FPT N67 that power the X7.6 tractors are state-of-the-art engines designed to offer farmers simplicity and functionality without compromising on performance, reliability and durability. The FPT N67 engines feature the Power Plus system which electronically adjusts the engine power to respond to varying load conditions. During transport applications or PTO operations, the Power Plus automatically delivers additional 10 hp to handle tough conditions and heavy loads while maintaining speed and productivity. With the Power Plus the X7.6 tractors will deliver maximum power outputs of 230 hp.

The VT-Drive continuously variable transmission is designed to ensure all the versatility and flexibility required by modern agriculture. Combining a FPT N67 engine and a four-stage VT-Drive continuously variable transmission with four planetary gear trains and oil-cooled clutches, the X7.6 ensures fast acceleration and excellent responsiveness making work easier and more efficient. The VT-Drive transmission offers four speed ranges with advance speeds from 40 m/h to 50 km/h for maximum productivity in any application.

The McCormick VT-Drive transmission with its four-stage technology sets a new benchmark in continuously variable transmissions. Using a four-stage instead of usual two-stage CVT transmission offers real benefits to farmers and agricultural contractors looking for multi-purpose tractors capable of ensuring maximum productivity whatever the task or the field conditions. This transmission offers four speed ranges to suit different operating requirements:

• Range 1 Creeper: 0 - 3 km/h
• Range 2 Field 1: 0 - 12 km/h
• Range 3 Field 2: 0 - 21 km/h
• Range 4 Transport: 0 - 40 or 50 km/h

The VT-Drive transmission features four operating modes:

1. Auto Mode - The electronic control unit controls the engine rpm and transmission ratio, based on the parameters set on the potentiometer, in order to achieve the required speed.
2. Manual Mode - The operator sets the engine speed using the hand throttle. The electronic unit controls the transmission ratio in order to achieve the required speed.
3. PTO Mode - The operator sets the engine speed using the hand throttle. The electronic unit controls the transmission ratio in order to achieve the required speed, with priority on PTO speed.

4. Cruise Mode - The operator selects the tractor travel speed, which remains constant

The Premiere Cab is a new-concept four-post design with rear hinged doors that provides unobstructed visibility in all directions, giving the driver a clear view of blind spots without the need to change position. A highly-efficient sound insulation system maintains an in-cab noise level of only 70 dB providing the operator with a quiet working environment. The electrohydraulic semi-active cab suspension system further enhances the operator comfort. Wide, well-spaced access steps allow the operator to easily get in and out of the cab, while the buddy seat neatly folds away making for easier and safer access. The cab interior features an automotive-style fit and finish with easy-clean soft-touch materials. The instrument panel and the steering wheel can be electrically adjusted in tilt and depth to suit the operator’s needs. The optional Alcantara upholstered swivel seat with dynamic air suspension system and fully automatic height adjustment features a ventilated backrest for ultimate driving comfort.

The X7.6 series tractors feature a closed-centre load sensing hydraulic system (CCLS) 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 and ensuring top performance in any situation. The system supplies up to 160 l/min to the rear hitch and remote valves, allowing for simultaneous operation of all hydraulic functions. The hydraulic system also includes a pump that supplies 52 l/min to the steering system. The X7.6 range has been designed to operate in a variety of conditions with heavy, power-demanding implements. To improve efficiency and productivity, the X7.6 tractors features a rear PTO with four speeds: 540, 540Eco 1000 and 1000Eco rpm. The driveline design of the PTO ensures minimal power loss and the electrohydraulic clutch enables smooth and modulated engagement of the PTO, ensuring a soft start-up of implement. The X7.6 series tractors are further equipped with the Power Plus system, which automatically increases power available when the PTO is operational, allowing the engine to maintain a constant power as the load varies. The rear hitch is equipped with lower link draft sensing for accurate implement control and provides a maximum lift capacity of 9300 kg. A front hitch and PTO are available as an option for applications using front-mounted implements and rear and front implement combinations.
