An All-new, High-Powered Tractor From McCormick

Argo Tractor Group has been manufacturing tractors at its factory in Fabbrico, Italy, for over 30 years and is today one of the industry’s leaders. Due to changes in modern farming operations and applications, the company implemented a revised strategy focusing on the high horsepower tractor segment, and has invested considerable sums in research and development.

Argo Industrial South Africa is the official importer of Landini and McCormick tractors in this country. Its network comprises 56 dealerships and offers comprehensive farming solutions.

THE MCCORMICK X7.624

The distributor recently launched the new-generation McCormick X7.624 in South Africa, a tractor aimed at farmers looking for performance, reliability and versatility.

Equipped with a six-cylinder, 24-valve, 6,7ℓ Betapower Fuel Efficiency engine, the McCormick X7.624 delivers 170kW of rated power with a maximum torque of 983Nm at 1 400 rpm. The engine complies with Stage V/ Tier 4F fuel emission standards and is fitted with a 350ℓ diesel tank, as well as a 52ℓ AdBlue tank. This reduces fuel input costs and engine emissions, ensuring a cleaner environment.
