McCORMICK INTRODUCES NEW UTILITY TRACTOR LINE
McCormick C-Max Series targeted toward acreage and small farm owners
Quick Look McCormick International USA has further enhanced the McCormick tractor line by adding the all-new C-Max Series, a new range of utility tractors that meets the requirements of price-conscious acreage and small farm owners. The C-Max Series features five models ranging from 59 99 engine hp (52 88 PTO hp) that utilize the latest generation of 3- and 4-cylinder Perkins 1100-Series engines. Customers can choose between three transmission options, 12+12, 24+12 with creep, and 24+12 with overdrive. All feature a dry-clutch synchronized shuttle to ensure easy operation of directional change.
Pella, Iowa McCormick International USA has further enhanced the McCormick tractor line by
adding the all-new C-Max Series, a new range of utility tractors that meets the requirements of price-
conscious acreage and small farm owners.
The C-Max Series offers customers a utility tractor that can be customized to their needs, said Chad
Huyser, marketing manager for McCormick USA.
The C-Max Series features five models ranging from 59 99 engine hp that utilize the latest generation
of 3- and 4-cylinder Perkins 1100-Series engines. The 3.3L and 4.4L engines not only meet Stage 2 Tier
II emission levels, but also run more quietly, reducing bystander noise levels.
The engines feature a cross-flow cylinder head with the intake and exhaust manifolds on opposite sides
of the engine to ensure no pre-heating of the inlet air. This results in a combustion process that is more
efficient as the inlet air is cooler. Both the 3- and 4-cylinder models use a rotary-type fuel injection pump.

Lower running costs are an additional benefit across the C-Max Series, as the Perkins 1100-Series
engines promise more economical fuel use. The new C-Max Series also offers lower maintenance costs
by having oil and filter changes at 500-hour, rather than 300-hour, intervals or annually, whichever comes
first.
Transmission
Customers can choose between three transmission options, 12+12, 24+12 with creep, and 24+12 with
overdrive. All feature a dry-clutch synchronized shuttle to ensure easy operation of directional change.
The shuttle lever incorporates a neutral position, ideal for operations that require periodic pauses. If the
tractor is fitted with either an overdrive or creep transmission, selection is also made using this lever.
Creep speed reduces the standard speeds by 80%, allowing travel speeds to go as low as 0.19 miles per
hour at rated engine rpm.
Hydraulics
The open-center hydraulic system delivers 14 gpm of flow at the standard remote. Customers can choose
up to four auxiliary remotes for maximum flexibility. The valves are operated by two individual levers and
an optional joystick control. The joystick is dedicated to control two valves, and is ideal for operating
attachments such as front-end loaders. The C-Max features Category II linkage, with mechanical top link
hydraulic sensing that provides a maximum lift capacity of 5,292 lb or up to 8,159 lb with twin assistor
rams.
PTO
The C-Max features a choice of 540- or 1000-rpm PTO with mechanical engagement and an independent
multi-plate dry clutch. An interchangeable PTO shaft allows the 6-spline shaft to be replaced quickly by
the 21-spline shaft. Ground-speed PTO is standard on all models. Ground-speed PTO is useful with PTO
driven spreaders, sprayers, and other implements where it is important to keep a proportional PTO to
forward speed.
Front axle and operator station
The 4WD is a simple mechanical engagement to provide additional traction requirements. A 55 degree
steering angle ensures good turning radius of 13 feet when equipped with four-wheel drive.

Working in conjunction with the rear brakes, the C-Max Series also can be equipped with a front axle IBS
system fitted on all the 4WD models as standard. The Integral Braking System incorporates four wet
discs (two per side) within the front axle housing. The C-Max Series is also available in a 2WD
configuration when 4WD is not required.
The operator platform sits on four silent bloc mounting points, enhancing driver comfort and reducing
vibration and noise. A shallow transmission tunnel allows convenient access, while providing a spacious
operating environment. A foldable 2-post ROPS frame is standard equipment and can also be fitted with a
canopy. A totally new cab design is available that incorporates rear hinged full-length doors which not
only offer excellent visibility, but wide open access. The cab models will feature air conditioning, and a
well-designed layout with controls in logical, easy-to-reach positions.
Two types of exhaust systems are fitted on the C-Max. For ROPS models, a vertical pipe through the
hood with the muffler located above the engine. The hood can be lifted without removing the pipe. For
cab models, an A post mounted exhaust is offered for improved visibility without compromising access
to the cab. The C-Max also features a large 27-gallon fuel tank that can be filled from ground level and
sits neatly in front of the operator platform.
Service access
Daily service is convenient with a one-piece rear hinged hood that provides excellent access to the
radiator and air cleaner, even when fitted with a front-end loader. For complete engine access, the side
panels can be removed quickly and easily.
McCormick expects to introduce several other series of tractors, with a variety of horsepower ranges and
uses in coming months. Visit McCormick at www.mccormickusa.com to learn more about the entire line of
