A new tractor with a two-year ‘peace of mind’ warranty is standard as well as an air-conditioned cab with opening roof window has hit the UK market.
The 47 horse power (HP) four-cylinder McCormick CT55U has been released by distributor AgriArgo UK following a positive response to the launch of a 57hp version two years ago.
“The specification is pretty good for this size of tractor, not least the standard air conditioning in the roomy cab,” said product specialist Paul Wade. “The 57hp model has attracted a number of different users in farming, horticulture and groundscare; the sister machine has a little less power, a simpler transmission and slightly smaller tyres - but also a keener price tag.”
The tractor has a four-cylinder Mitsubishi engine tuned to develop 47hp and a 16x16 synchro shuttle gearbox.
Hydraulically-engaged three-speed power take-off provides an economy setting for 540rpm at the shaft to save fuel, as well as 1000rpm for more demanding implements. A durable wet clutch is fitted - in contrast to most tractors of this size.
Like its CT65U stablemate, the newcomer complements the cabless McCormick ‘CT’ series compacts, which top out at 47hp, the GM series compacts that go to 54hp and the 74hp to 93hp C-Max full-size utility tractors.
Wade added: “Both CTU series tractors have a generous specification for their size and are built to handle serious work. Whether used as a yard tractor on a dairy farm, as a workhorse machine on a horticultural unit or as an all-round power unit for larger ‘hobby’ farms and equestrian establishments.”
The new CT55U is delivered with the CESAR security identification system installed as standard to discourage theft.
