McCormick

We had demo of this last weekend for silage, to be honest I only got to drive it taking it back to dealer but first impression I thought it looks fantastic, some say they would have the grill black but triviality imo , first time I’ve driven a VT and thought it great, sorry I can’t give a more in-depth review but like I say I only drove it home.

I think them new mccorrmicks are a good machine. What did whoever was drivin it think of it?

Good tractor or not, I wonder what the resale value of the new McC's and Landinis will be like? I'm guessing terrible.

The lower price new used to soften the blow of depreciation but now new price is up with the rest of them so might be a good second hand buy

Hire or rent the tractor ,fully warranted for a few years then probably fine..long term ownership? As they sell so few in the UK..10 to 20 years time....how many on here would be able to help sort out a problem? Or even any independent mechanics. I like to be different, but lots to be said for mainstream popular models of tractors, if only for the availability of secondhand and copy parts .

We have a good local dealer that seems to me to be very committed to McCormick, selling quite a few as well.

I wouldnt be a bit scared of 1. They are made with good stuf from the zf tranny and the fpt engine. People are just scared to give them a chance but there would be nothin wrong way 1

Yes I agree built with a lot of the best bits of everything .

Agg profits are a bit shyt I’d have thought something built out of good parts like zf and fpt that was a bit cheaper would fly off the shelf !

Deutz,kubota and mccormick all use same transmission so take your pick of engines and colour

They do look an impressive bit of kit, It was very noticeable how much attention they were getting at Cereals.

Ag profits are shyt because people are spending their incomes on unnecessarily expensive main brand machinery instead of looking at cheaper alternatives which might leave them a bit more profit....... probably
