The Maxxum-based history of McCormick ended with the introduction of the X7 models at the beginning of 2013. The X7 was a thoroughly redesigned tractor that was also added to Landini’s lineup. The engines were BetaPower units manufactured by EEA with urea injection and four-valve technology. The lineup did not include models as large as before, leaving room for the X8 series. The transmission, called Pro Drive, was developed in cooperation with ZF. It had 24+24 gears and with creep gears 40+40. There were four powershift steps, and the gear change automation also handled range shifting. Depending on the model, 40 km/h was reached at engine speeds from 1516 to 1640 rpm, and 50 km/h at 1895 to 2030 rpm. In 2014, VT-Drive models were also introduced, featuring ZF’s continuously variable transmission, which had four basic gears.

The hydraulics included an adjustable displacement pump with a flow rate of 123 l/min. Three electric spool valves were standard. The lift capacity was 9300 kg. The front axle, manufactured by Carraro, had a dog-lock and an optional independent suspension. The cab was the new Premiere Cab. Noise level was stated as 70 dB. Hydraulic cab suspension was an option. Standard equipment included a four-function quick selection button that could be used as a kind of turn automation.

McCormick’s 4-cylinder X7.4 models corresponded to Landini’s 6 series, and the 6-cylinder X7.6 models corresponded to Landini’s 7 series. Landini’s lineup only received a continuously variable transmission in 2015 under the name V-Shift.
