“These tractors are ideal for yard scraping and other light duties on dairy farms or pig and poultry units; for paddock work on smallholdings; and for transport, spraying and light cultivation on horticultural units,” says Stewart Barnett, McCormick’s UK sales manager. “They would also provide a reliable and versatile power unit for equestrian centres, livery stables and large private or commercial properties in the countryside where I would see them pulling trailers and operating grounds maintenance machinery.”
The McCormick CT28 has a 1.5-litre Mitsubishi four-cylinder diesel engine developing 28hp and comes with a choice of transmissions – three-range hydrostatic transmission or a 12 forward, 12 reverse speed synchro shuttle gearbox.
A 1.66m wheelbase and 1188kg capacity rear implement lift complemented by single-speed rear- and mid-mounted power take-off shafts round off the essential features of the little machine.
The McCormick CT41 HST and CT47 HST are larger, a little heavier and have more power. The 1.75m wheelbase provides the stability needed to handle bigger implements and linkage lift capacity is a more generous 1250kg. The tractors’ 2.3-litre and 2.5-litre Mitsubishi engines develop 41hp and 47hp.
The two larger ‘CT’ tractors come only with the three-speed hydro-drive transmission, which is operated using separate ‘forwards’ and ‘backwards’ pedals. There is also has a cruise control feature that allows forward speed to be maintained without having to keep a foot on the pedal.
A cast front axle with tight-turning 55deg steering provides four-wheel drive traction, with a rear differential lock adding to grip in challenging conditions.
