Hello all. I was just wondering if they're any good. And what common faults do they give

McCormick electrical problem

Hi All, could anyone help me with my McCormick CX95 xtra shift which will now not reverse. The reverse light on the dash doesn’t come on and the tractor doesn’t move when you put the shuttle lever into reverse. I have had this problem in the past and it has gone OK again after between 5 and 50...

Yes. I'd buy a zetor in same price range. Know them like the back of my hand

 

[agrimax]

As would I. Maybe still not as refined but more reliable and less to go wrong!!

 

[Mrzetor]

I suppose if it has a case back end it must be very complicated. Don't quote me on that ik nothing about modern tractors

 

[balerman]

We have had one from new,the electrics were a nightmare on it,wires are too small and poor quality sensors.But that was in its first few years and luckily my father is an electrician,so were able to sort it out ourselves cheaply and mechanicaly it has been good.This will be reflected in its value now,and its a nice tractor to drive with a good cab.

Nasty clutch uptake and jumpy xtrashift, if fitted, but maybe those things would have been sorted by now too?

If its an early one (04) the clutch may be fierce still,but the xtrashift should be smooth.

Can someone explain the difference between the xtra shift and standard gearbox.

Can someone explain the difference between the xtra shift and standard gearbox.

An xtrashift transmission has a clutchless shuttle and 3 speed powershift, the syncro transmission (standard gearbox so to speak) has a syncro shuttle which you need to use the clutch pedal to change direction and has either no powershifts or just a two speed powershift.

The syncro transmission has a dry clutch and could need replacing every 2000 to 3000 hours if on loader work, subject to operator.

The xtrashift transmission has hydraulic clutch packs that could happily last 6000 + hours without an overhaul but when they do need work it's alot bigger job than a standard clutch repair.

The xtrashift transmissions clutch pedal is electronically controlled so its operation makes for a different feel to a standard clutch and can sometimes make drive take up harsh or a bit unpredictable, Also it can only be calibrated / tweaked via a dealer laptop.

Hope that all makes sence.

How do I tell if it hasn't a power shift?. Buttons on gearstick?

 

[Mrzetor]

I'd be looking a manual shuttle one

 

[agrimax]

The xtrashit has a shuttle stalk(electric switch) on the steering column and a 3 position switch on the main gear lever. The manual version has a big lever coming up out of the dash. If it has a two speed splitter,it'll have a 2 position switch on the main gear lever as well.(Same ''quality'' system IH and CIH used for years,as in Torque Amplifier)
Still better with a Zetor instead...
