The McCormick F60 is a specialized narrow-track tractor designed for orchard and vineyard applications. Produced between 2002 and 2008 as part of the F70 series, this machine is engineered for compact maneuverability in confined cultivation spaces.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 2.7-liter, three-cylinder Perkins diesel engine. This liquid-cooled power plant generates 55 horsepower (41.0 kW) and delivers a peak torque of 142.4 lb-ft (193.1 Nm) at 1200 RPM. The engine features a dual dry element air cleaner and is designed for consistent performance at a rated 2300 RPM.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The F60 offers flexible transmission configurations, including a standard 12-speed sync shuttle transmission or an optional 24-speed version. The drivetrain incorporates planetary final drives and an electro-hydraulic rear differential lock to ensure stability and traction. The system utilizes a 279.4mm organic dry disc clutch.
Hydraulics and PTO
Equipped with an open-center hydraulic system, the tractor provides a pump flow of 11.7 gpm (44.3 lpm) at a pressure of 2611 psi (180.0 bar), supporting two standard valves. The independent rear PTO is versatile, offering 540, 540E, and 750 RPM speeds to match various implements. The rear hitch, categorized as II/I, provides a lift capacity of 5732 lbs (2600 kg) with integrated position and draft control.
Operational Features
Designed for operator comfort and safety in specialized environments, the F60 features power steering and hydraulic wet disc brakes. The base configuration includes a two-post ROPS structure, with an air-conditioned cab available as an optional upgrade. The electrical system is powered by a 12-volt battery and a 55-amp alternator.
