New Mccormick Tractors

[mcwheels]

We have 4 X6.440 VT'S out now, between them they will have done over 10000 hrs now with no cvt transmission failures two with loaders and two without. Oldest one was the 1st one in the UK on a 17 plate and the newest is on a 20 plate.

Hey, I am still playing with the X6.430 vt to try and figure things out.....
Is there not a way to start the pto with the fender button and keeping it going? Xtx you hold it for 3 seconds and it stays running, not so on the X6.430.

Hi. I'm sure you should be able to. Definitely done it on an X7.618 recently. I think you may have to activate the button in the cab which says you'll be getting off the seat first. Sure it has a picture of a seat on it. Then I think it will let you use the external fender control in the manner you described.

I'm pretty sure I tried it right like that, but will try that again. It's also strange that it doesn't like shuttle in park and park brake on to get out of cab without buzzer going off. Needs to have hand brake on and shuttle bumped down to neutral to get out without the buzzer going off....

Ha, it does work but need to hold button about 10 seconds to make it keep running!

That will be rather annoying when we're running the forage wagons to fill tower silos.......

I'm toying with the idea of doing some slight electronic modifications.....I realize it's not really a heavy tractor, but I'd like if it had a little more pick-me-up on the road and for pto work.
The 440 would have engine 140hp on boost, I should be ok to bump the 430 to 150 engine?
Ideas?
Thanks
