Specially developed to replace the CL tractor family, the X4m Series is a new range of sturdy, simple tractors designed to deliver new levels of performance. The X4m Series incorporates advanced technical solutions that minimise operating costs while providing a perfect combination of ruggedness and reliability, making this tractor ideal for field tasks, haymaking and transport operations. Supplied in both two- and four-wheel drive configurations, the X4m is currently offered as an open-platform tractor; a cab version is slated to become available in future. The range features two different engine options: Perkins Tier3 for the X4.35m model and Deutz Tier4 Final for the X4.20m, X4.30m and X4.40m models. The engine hood has been redesigned to reflect the new McCormick family styling. Specially developed by Argo Tractors, the versatile Speed Four modular transmission with synchro shuttle offers four synchronized gears in three ranges providing 12 forward and 12 reverse speeds. A creep speed unit with 16 forward and 16 reverse gears and speeds as low as 300 m/h is available as an option. The 4WD version with electrohydraulic engagement of the fourwheel drive features a mechanical differential lock on the rear axle and a limited slip differential on the front axle. When the hydrostatic annular-piston rear brakes are operated, the four-wheel drive engages automatically, which in turn brakes the front axle for efficient braking on all four wheels.
