Tra le caratteristiche vincenti della serie X8, oltre alla tra-

start from aminimum of 264horsepower up to310 for the
topof the range. Inaddition to theZF four-stage continuously
variable transmission, another winning features of the X8
series is the design, with a style of the hood, body and cab-
in interior that offers standards typical of theautomotive in-
dustry. As is McCormick tradition, great attention was paid
to the design of the cabin, quiet, insulated from vibrations,
air-conditioned to createa comfortableandergonomicwork-

theX6VT-Drive versionmakes its debut (ideal for farms and
municipalities), incorporating the technical characteristics
of the X6, but differing from it for the continuously variable
transmission produced by Argo Tractors, withmultifunction
armrest andVT-Easypilot system to control the various trac-
tor functions.The continuously variable transmission is also
suppliedon theX7VT-Drivemodels (three4-cylindermodels
