Introduction

McCormick G135 Max Row-Crop Tractor

The McCormick G135 Max is a row-crop tractor produced between 2011 and 2015 as part of the G-Max series. Designed for professional agricultural operations, this model balances engine power with heavy-duty mechanical components to handle demanding field tasks.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a 6-cylinder BetaPower diesel engine with a displacement of 6.7 liters. It utilizes turbocharging and air-to-air intercooling to achieve a maximum power output of 133 hp (99.2 kW). The engine generates 435 lb-ft (589.9 Nm) of torque at 1250 RPM, providing the necessary low-end grunt for heavy draft applications. The unit is liquid-cooled and complies with Tier 3 emission standards.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The drivetrain features a mechanical shuttle transmission with 36 forward and 36 reverse gears, allowing for precise speed selection across various field conditions. Power is transferred to the wheels via a 355mm dry disc clutch. The tractor is equipped with four-wheel drive as standard, supported by hydrostatic power steering and wet disc brakes for reliable maneuverability and stopping power.

Hydraulics and PTO

The hydraulic system provides a total flow of 28 gpm (106.0 lpm), with 18 gpm (68.1 lpm) dedicated to implement operation. It supports between 3 and 5 remote valves. The rear hitch, categorized as III/II, offers a lift capacity of 15,400 lbs (6,985 kg) and utilizes position control. The independent rear PTO operates at both 540 and 1000 RPM, accommodating a wide array of implements.

Dimensions and Operator Environment

Built on a 110-inch (279 cm) wheelbase, the G135 Max weighs 12,760 lbs (5,787 kg). It comes standard with a two-post ROPS structure, though an air-conditioned cab was available as an optional upgrade to enhance operator comfort during long workdays. Standard agricultural tires are fitted with 420/70R28 front and 520/70R38 rear dimensions.

Conclusion

The McCormick G135 Max is a versatile, high-capacity tractor tailored for row-crop farming. Its combination of a high-torque 6-cylinder engine, robust hydraulic lift capacity, and a wide gear range makes it a capable machine for medium-to-large scale agricultural operations requiring dependable performance.
