It’s 144-155 hp and am not sure who makes the gearbox. I’d be very interested to know the price.
Well all i know is a relation bought a mccormick (not sure on model) think its around 140 hp 4 pot about a year n half ago, he was a jd man but he was fit to buy the mccormick and a new tanker with dribble bar for less than a new deere which had less spec than the mccormick plus mccormick thru in a weight block.

Have they been using thier own tranny long? Is it in the larger tractors yet and is it thier own vario theyr using now aswel?
This transmission is new for the new X6HD range. However the previous X6's have used their in house CVT for about 4 years from memory . X7 and X8 is all ZF. And manual X6's, X5's and X4's have used an in house transmission since the start. However I think the new X4 is a Carraro affair.

Iv been warned off the x6 with manual gearstick by a inde mechanic that works at them, he says "backend made of cheese". Is the mccormick vario a hydrostatic system like the fendt or a multi range mixed with hydro setup like the zf and cnh varios?

All of them including the Fendt are versions of a power-splitting mechanical and hydro design. The Fendt only has two mechanically shifted ranges though while the others mostly have four power-shifted ranges.
There are so many different brands and designs made now that I’ve lost track of their engineering.

Yes the fendt has 2 ranges but they dont shift range on the go, so once your in high range its hydro right from zero to top speed

Can't say we've had any gearbox issues with them. PTO packs on the early ones weren't man enough though. However this was improved with the later ones. And the Argo CVT is a multi range mixed with hydro. There is a high and low range selected by the driver. Then within each there are two ranges which the tractor selects itself.

The cvt is excellent for drivers point of view really good i thought .

I drove a landini 7175 cvt i think it was, found the tranny quite aggressive especially on slow down. Is the x6 like this or would that even be programmable in the x7

No the X6 CVT is much less aggressive on slow down. Acceleration is programmable if you have the DSM Screen. X7 acceleration / aggresiveness is also programmable but don't think the slow down is. Does hold back a trailer really well though. With that and the standard exhaust brake the service brakes don't get used much.

Yes it would be good on a trailer. I just wasnt used to it compared to a fendt or deere.
