Introduction
McCormick GM40 Compact Utility Tractor
The McCormick GM40 is a compact utility tractor produced between 2011 and 2021 by McCormick International, a division of the Argo Group. Designed for versatility in agricultural and grounds maintenance applications, this model is built to provide dependable power in a compact frame.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled Yanmar 3TNV88 3-cylinder diesel engine. With a displacement of 1.6 liters (100.2 cubic inches), it delivers 35.5 horsepower (26.5 kW) at a rated speed of 2800 RPM. The engine utilizes direct fuel injection and operates with a 19:1 compression ratio, generating 80 lb-ft (108.5 Nm) of torque at 1200 RPM.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The GM40 features a mechanical clutch system and offers two transmission configurations: a standard 12-speed forward and reverse gearbox, or an optional 16-speed creeper transmission for tasks requiring precise, low-speed control. The drivetrain is equipped with four-wheel drive and mechanical wet disc brakes to ensure traction and stopping power.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system operates at a pressure of 2611 psi (180.0 bar) with a total flow capacity of 12.6 gpm (47.7 lpm). For implement management, the tractor includes a Category I rear hitch with a lift capacity of 2646 lbs (1200 kg), and an optional front hitch with an 882 lbs (400 kg) capacity.
Power Take-Off (PTO)
The rear PTO is independent and offers three operating modes: 540 RPM, 750 RPM, and ground speed. An optional independent front PTO is available, providing a standard 1000 RPM output via a 1.375-inch shaft.
