Tight turner a good bet for small spaces

摘要

A torquey engine and tiny frame makes the McCormick a good loader tractor. More auto functions and road comfort when tugging a load would be welcome, thoughScaling the two steps up into McCormick's four-poster reveals a surprisingly spacious cab. The build quality is below average, but tons of glass means it scores well for visibility and there's a small plastic hatch in the roof for loader work.Right-sided levers and switches are clearly displayed and well labelled. However, the hand throttle sits too near the gearstick and pto ranges are tucked behind the seat - both of which knock down its ergonomics score. We'd also like to see a bit more storage space because stuff can only be stashed on the cab floor.Elsewhere, the stumpy bonnet contributes to the best forward visibility, although a big roof strut might hinder views with a front-loader hoisted up. Sound levels reached 69.4dBa, which made it the quietest tractor in the test, too.
