Introduction
McCormick MC135 Utility Tractor
The McCormick MC135 is a utility tractor produced between 2003 and 2007 at the Doncaster facility in England. It belongs to the MC series and is designed for general agricultural applications, offering a balance between power and operational flexibility.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled Perkins 1106 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. It generates 132 hp (98.4 kW) at a rated speed of 2200 RPM. The engine produces a maximum torque of 408 lb-ft (553.2 Nm) at 1400 RPM, providing consistent lugging power for heavy-duty field tasks.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The MC135 features a partial power shift transmission with an electro-hydraulic wet clutch. The standard configuration provides 16 forward and 12 reverse gears, with an optional creeper range that expands the configuration to 32 forward and 24 reverse speeds. The system includes a power shuttle for efficient directional changes, with available speed gearing options of 30 km/h or 40 km/h.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes a pressure flow compensated (PFC) pump with a total flow capacity of 28.8 gpm (109.0 lpm). It supports two to four valves for implement operation. The rear hitch is a Category IIIN system equipped with electronic lower link draft sensing, capable of lifting up to 11,234 lbs (5095 kg) at the link ends.
Dimensions and Handling
Built on a 104.3-inch wheelbase, the tractor offers a ground clearance of 16 inches. It is available in both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations, with the latter featuring a Carraro front axle. Steering is power-assisted, and braking is managed by wet disc brakes to ensure operational safety.
Conclusion
The McCormick MC135 is a versatile utility tractor suited for medium to large-scale farming operations that require a combination of high-torque output, precise hydraulic control, and transmission flexibility. Its robust construction and configurable options allow it to adapt to a wide array of implements and field conditions.
