X6

The X6 features an XtraShift transmission with a three-speed on-the-go powershift (HML) that provides up to 48 forward and 16 reverse speeds with the creeper unit. Derived from higher-class McCormick tractors, the XtraShift transmission is designed to deliver top-notch performance along with total reliability and long-lasting durability under all operating conditions. When travelling on the road, on mixed terrains or on steep slopes, the XtraShift transmission with its three shift-on-the-go speeds (HML) will maintain a constant power, keeping your tractor running at peak performance under all conditions. The transmission can also be controlled from the multifunction joystick. Designed to enhance the features of the X6, the XtraShift transmission delivers outstanding performance and ultimate operator comfort under all operating conditions. The XtraShift electrohydraulic transmission offers up to 40 forward and 16 reverse speeds with creeper. Thanks to well-spaced gear ratios, the X6 responds efficiently to the specific needs of each farm. With a minimum creep speed of 309 m/h and a maximum travel speed of 50 km/h, the X6 enables efficient operation in the field and safe and fast transport on the road. The XtraShift transmission stands for efficiency: the three-stage HML powershift triples the 12 basic speeds providing 36 forward and 12 reverse gears. With additional creeper speeds, the transmission offers a total of 48 forward and 16 reverse gears, allowing speeds as low as 309 m/h. The de-clutch button and the power shuttle allow the operator to shift through all gears and change from forward to reverse without using the clutch pedal. The powershift and power shuttle response is electronically modulated and adjustable by the operator if required for different tasks.

The X6 features a closed-centre load-sensing hydraulic system (CCLS) with a variable-displacement pump that adjusts the flow rate according to the system requirements. This technology eliminates unnecessary power waste, reduces consumption and noise, and improves performance. The hydraulic system of the X6 provides a total flow of 110 l/min to operate the steering system, rear hitch and remote valves and allows simultaneous operation of front and rear implements. An 11-litre auxiliary hydraulic tank is available for implements requiring high oil take-out such as tipping trailers. A dedicated pump supplies 38.5 l/min to the steering system ensuring smooth and easy turning, even at low engine rpm or during heavy-duty applications, for enhanced operator comfort and greater productivity.

The X6 offers up to five rear remote valves. Three valves are mechanically operated by levers and two are controlled electro-hydraulically via fingertip controls. A fourway flow divider allows two hydraulic units to be controlled with a single remote valve to operate the hydraulic top link or the right lifting rod. Two additional mechanical mid-mount remotes, controlled by the multifunction joystick, are also available for the use of an M30 front loader, taking to seven the total number of remote valves. The X6 offers four types of remotes that can be used in combination to suit different application needs:

• Standard: double-acting;
• Kick-out: with automatic detent release;
• Float: for implements that follow the contour of the ground;
• Hydraulic motor: for the use of hydraulic motors.

Each option allows the tractor to work with a front hitch, a front loader, a rear hitch and a variety of front- and rear-mounted implements for maximum efficiency and productivity. High-quality quick-release couplings, conveniently fitted on both the front and rear of the tractor, allow quick and easy connection/disconnection of hydraulic lines for fast operation.
