The popular appeal of McCormick’s three-model C-Max range
of light utility tractors introduced a year ago has led to the
addition of a fourth model to the range - the C95 Max.

With its four-cylinder Perkins engine developing 92hp, the McCormick
C95 Max becomes the most powerful model in the C-Max range,
which currently comprises tractors with outputs of 58hp, 68hp and
82hp.
In terms of size, weight, power and equipment, the C-Max range
slots neatly between the smaller McCormick F Series tractors – comprising
seven models from 58hp to 99hp – and the full-size agricultural
type McCormick CX XtraShift models, which go from 73hp to 102hp.
Despite the ‘utility’ tag, the McCormick C95 Max is
well equipped for a tractor of its type. Four-wheel drive, oil-immersed
front axle brakes and swivelling front mudguards are standard and
the four-post cab with fully glazed doors filling each side provides
unrivalled all-round visibility.
“This full-size but lightweight tractor is ideal for a livestock
farm’s routine tasks – from loader and trailer work
to mowing and feeding-out, but it will also have a role on vegetable
farms and as a light-duty tractor on arable units,” says
Paul Wade, McCormick product specialist. “It has all the
essential equipment and features in a down-to-earth, competitively
priced package.”
The C95 Max is powered by a 4.4-litre Perkins 1100 series
engine developing 92hp. It drives through a transmission with 24
forward and 12 reverse speeds, 40kph gearing and forward-reverse
synchro shuttle operated by a lever positioned alongside the steering
wheel. Alternatively, buyers can opt for a lower-spec 12x12, 30kph
gearbox.
“Four-wheel drive is standard and when conditions become
especially difficult, the positive locking front and rear differentials
ensure maximum grip,” notes Paul Wade. “In addition,
there is the security of true four-wheel braking provided by oil-immersed
disc brakes built into the front axle.”
At 3700kg, the McCormick C95 Max has sufficient linkage
lift capacity to handle most implements relevant to its power output.
It also has a generous hydraulics specification using two pumps – one
delivers up to 52-litres/minute to operate the linkage and supply
up to two remote valves, while the second pump, of 30-litres/min
output, supplies the steering, diff locks and four-wheel drive
clutches.
Retail prices start at £23,569, which includes air conditioning,
an air suspension seat, swivelling front mudguards, a radio and
rotating beacon. An added attraction is a zero interest finance
package of two plus 22 monthly payments on 45% of the list price
from McCormick Financial Services.
