The X7.270 VT-Drive is a highlight on the McCormick stand at the Italian EIMA show.
Sitting above the X7.624 (240hp), the new range topper, which uses the X8 frame, is described as more of a tillage based tractor that would also be good paired with a large trailer or slurry tanker.
The 6.7-litre FPT engine is mated to a new four-stage ZF CVT, which is larger than the one used in the X7.624, is the only transmission it is available with. Top speed with the high-performance braking system and external disc brakes is 60km/hr.
There is a new Carraro front axle and the redesigned hood has a slightly more sloping bonnet than current X7 models. The new tractor is fitted with the new Plus version of the Clever Cab. This introduces the upgraded DSM Plus infotainment system. This has a second display behind the steering wheel, as an extension of the main 12-inch touch-screen.
The technology package can be further enhanced by mirror cams. These replace conventional rear-view mirrors with cameras mounted on the cab frame and displays on the internal cab pillars.
Maximum hydraulic flow rate is 212l/min. Up to six rear remote valves can be specified, each with a flow rate of 140 l/min, along with three front remotes for implements and the front linkage, which is integrated directly into the tractor’s cast-iron chassis.
With a wheelbase of 2.94m, the new X7 flagship has a shipping weight of approx. 9,600kg and a maximum permissible weight of 14,500kg.
Still in the homologation process, the X7.270 is unlikely to make it to LAMMA. The first production models are expected to land in the UK at the end of Q2, 2027.
