Fieldays 2026 Returns to Mystery Creek This June
Tickets have officially gone on sale for Fieldays 2026, marking less than 50 days until the event.
More power, torque and better fuel economy are gained from this the new engine which has a simplified emissions control system — a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC). This needs no diesel particulates filter which would require more maintenance or operator intervention.
A viscous cooling fan option is said to maintain cooler temperatures and help reduce fuel consumption.
From the engine, power is channelled to a 24F/24R speed transmission equipped with a splitter button on the gear selector that permits up or down shifts to cope with changing load on the tractor.
In addition, a new Eco Forty feature reduces engine revs once the 40km/h maximum speed has been reached, saving fuel and reducing noise during transport operations.
All wheel braking uses internal discs in the front axle and a new power boost system lessens the pedal effort required.
A new four-speed PTO option is another fuel saving feature in the paddock, providing 540rpm or 1000rpm speeds at ‘economy’ and standard settings.
Hydraulic output is via a 63L/min gear pump complemented by a 32L/min pump dedicated to steering and ancillary clutches, supplying the three double-acting spool valves fitted as standard.
Other standard equipment includes interchangeable ball and claw ends for the 4500kg rear linkage lift arms. Electronic control of the rear hitch is standard.
Standard equipment includes an air suspension seat, tilt/telescopic steering wheel and air conditioning in the cabin.
McCormick X5 will be at site C17-19 at Fieldays.
