Introduction
McCormick MB85 Utility Tractor
The McCormick MB85 is an 81-horsepower utility tractor from the MB65 series, manufactured between 2006 and 2010. Designed for versatility in agricultural operations, this machine combines a robust diesel powertrain with flexible transmission and hydraulic configurations.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled Perkins 1104C-44 4-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 4.4 liters. It delivers 81 hp (60.4 kW) at a rated speed of 2200 RPM, with a peak torque of 215 lb-ft (291.5 Nm) reached at 1400 RPM. The compression ratio is 19.3:1, designed for reliability in varied field conditions.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The MB85 is available in both 2WD and optional 4WD (MFWD) configurations, controlled via hydrostatic power steering for maneuverability. The mechanical transmission offers two main options: a 12-speed or a 24-speed setup, both providing 12 reverse gears to suit different operational requirements. Stopping power is provided by mechanical wet disc brakes.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system operates at a pressure of 2600 psi (179.3 bar) and provides a total flow of 20.2 gpm (76.5 lpm). It includes 1 or 2 valves to manage implements. The rear hitch is a Category II type with a standard lift capacity of 5,700 lbs (2585 kg), which can be upgraded to an optional 8,140 lbs (3692 kg) capacity. The rear PTO is an independent 540 RPM unit.
Conclusion
The McCormick MB85 serves as a reliable workhorse for farmers and contractors requiring a mid-range utility tractor. Its combination of a high-torque Perkins engine, modular transmission, and significant lift capacity makes it well-suited for a variety of farming tasks, from heavy-duty field work to general utility operations.
