In designing the X8 series, our primary goal was to build a tractor which combined
advanced features with unequalled style and comfort. With its amazing design, the
McCormick X8 makes farmers and contractors excited and proud to drive it. The
hood and fenders with their sharp, dynamic lines give this tractor an aggressive and
attractive look, while the automotive-style LED lights seamlessly integrated into the
front grill highlights the McCormick family styling.
The four-post cab with its large glass surfaces and transparent roof hatch provides
exceptional visibility in all directions. In addition, roof-mounted work lights provide
excellent illumination for night work. The X8 tractor also features wrap-around fend-
ers with fixed extensions and two latest-generation LED tail lights.
The fuel tank incorporates four well-spaced access steps for the operator to easily
get in and out of the cab. The fuel tank further integrates the SCR catalytic converter
which connects seamlessly to the muffler exhaust pipe fitted onto the right cab post.
Thanks to all these features, the X8 will simply amaze you with its appealing look
and outstanding performance.
