Just to avoid confusion @michael N123 is an X7swb. Not the X6.4 the op asked about.

Can you give an educated verdict on the x6.4?

Can you give an educated verdict on the x6.4?

I can certainly give you my opinion on it, but do remember, I work for a McCormick dealer so take it as you will.

It has the same gutsy and reliable 4.5ltr 4 cylinder FPT engine as before so can't see any issues with this.

The new Argo P6 transmission is a big step up from the previous HML transmission used in the previous X6 range. It speed matches insanely well and the auto function is great. Only gripe is in 3rd gear the stick is a bit of a stretch, but you can change the splits on the Joystick so you don't need to reach for it other than to change gear.

New cab is much better for visibility. Brilliant for a loader tractor.

Having a Cat III linkage instead of the previous Cat II is much better as it now really is a replacement for the old MC range.

It's very compact and maneuverable.

Exhaust brake and 4 speed pto are now standard as on the X7 range.

You've the option of the carraro independently suspended front axle for great comfort.

This range should make an ideal front line tractor for small / medium enterprises, especially combined with a loader, or a very capable smaller tractor on a medium/ large unit.

Have I sold one yet, no. Is it a cheap tractor, no. Am I still battling like mad to get people to even consider a McCormick, yes. However, I've definitely found over the last 12 months that interest in them is increasing. More and more people are asking questions about them. My hope is that this is the beginning of a rise in numbers as there really is nothing wrong with these machines and I think they deserve a much higher market share than they currently have. The biggest problem with them by a mile is perception, a very hard thing to change.

So is it not the same trans as in a x7 with 6 powershifts and 5 robotised ranges? For comparrison is a mcc much cheaper than say a case nh or massey?

[Hilly]

John deere know that grooming kids with their toys creates sales in future , its all been a big marketing ploy for years and it works

The single outlet JD dealer with his own name on the door nearby @Hilly used to play santa at Christmas giving out such toys and garments to the future generations. Bet JD who forced him out and the multi site dealer who took over the workshop doesn't give a s***e about customer care or the next generation.

There is another thread on here currently where the mccormick dealer was asked 3 times for a demo but never got back about it so if theyr lookin sales would this not be a good place to start

No it's a new in house built transmission by Argo Tractors. But they've made their own transmissions for years now and they don't seem to have given much bother.

In the new X6.4 it's 4 ranges on a gear stick with declutch button and 6 splits in each. Splits can be done on the gear stick or Joystick.

Mines not vario but a ZF box same as a deutz it’s miles better than my old Valtra box with the extra long range change delays

 

[daveydiesel1]
