AgriArgo has added a new model to its McCormick range of tractors.The new 92hp T100-Max model bridges the price and specification of the lower spec McCormick C-Max and the CX XtraShift, while offering an alternative to the CX Synchro Low Profile package.

“With its low overall height and easy manoeuvrability, the T100-Max makes an attractive stockmen’s tractor for operators who want more than the most basic specification,” suggests Paul Wade, McCormick product specialist. “But it will also appeal to growers in the arable and horticulture sectors wanting a no-nonsense machine with a more versatile transmission.”

Although similar in appearance to the 74hp to 92hp C-Max tractors, the T100-Max has a newly developed transmission with more gears, a tougher rear axle with planetary rather than spur gear speed reduction and more responsive lower link draft control sensing in place of a top link system. The newcomer has a more durable wet clutch installation, three powershift ratios for easy speed control, a power shuttle for quick and easy changes of direction and modulated hydraulic engagement of the front drive axle and multi-speed pto.

“With the addition of the T100-Max we can now offer buyers four 92hp tractors of similar size but with variations in cab and mechanical specification to suit individual preferences,” notes Paul Wade. “And with prices spanning about £7000 from the lowest to the highest spec, there is also sufficient choice to suit individual budgets.”

The new T100-Max slots into the range at £36,070. It scores over the C-Max and base CX with more transmission speeds, a power shuttle, hydraulic control of the pto and front axle drive, and a telescopic pick-up hitch. The implement lift is manually operated, as on the C-Max, but with lower link draft sensing.

A ‘limited offer’ tractor-loader package at a special price is also available.

“With an all-in retail price of £42,072 for a 92hp T100-Max equipped with a McCormick IF20 hydraulic loader, this is a very special deal available for a limited period only,” says AgriArgo general manager and sales director, Ray Spinks. “Given the size and spec of this new model, we expect a lot of T100-Max tractors to be put to work with a loader.”
