McCormick MTX 120

[livestock 1]

With a Cummins engine any good? Or load of rubbish?

 

[DrDunc]

Definitely one of the good ones

 

[icanshootwell]

The better one to go for, a lot more grunt.

What difference are they to the MX ?

 

[icanshootwell]

The mx had the Perkins and was a bit lighter the mtx had the sub frame v
A bit more heavier duty

Ah thanks. I thought MX was Cummins engine

 

[icanshootwell]

They may of put them in the very late model s but the early one's were Perkins

MX is CaseIH Maxxum with Cummins engine and have always subframe. Early MTX is with Perkins engine with sane subframe as MX.(MTX 110,125,140)

Didn't the MTX120 all have Iveco 6.7l engines and the CIH MX have Cummins 5.9l?
Neither had Perkins fitted.

Sorry got mixed up with the mc as we were on about McCormick s

I thought MTX had iveco too. This one has Cummins I’m told

 

[Thomas5060]

Was there a beta power engine? Or some name like that? Maybe mistaken with something else tho

 

[agrimax]

Iveco and Cummins had a joint venture for a while. They produced the Cummins 6.7l Beta power engine,but afaik it was really an Iveco (FPT) engine. Don't know what part Cummins played in it.
The 5.9l in the Case MX however,was a full Cummins though.
McC only used this in the early MTX 200.

MX CaseIh Used Cummings 5,9l engines. McCormick Mtx First series used Perkins In basicly same tractor as MX. Latter on McComick changed to FPT engines which they still uses

 

[Oh Deere]

MTX120 beta power
MTX125 perkins

the European engine alliance was a joint venture between Cummins / cnh / Iveco to build engines using fiat and Cummins technology. It ended in 2008 when cnh bought out Cummins shares.

So is the engine sh!t in this tractor?

 

[agrimax]

No.Those are very good engines,with plenty of grunt.But as with any engine,it's all down to maintenance.
McCormicks didn't have a particularly nice gearbox.Jumpy powershifts were common as were electrical gremlins.Not specific to that model mind you.

We once had an Mtx 175 with speedsequence gearbox at demo. Small display at the end of the gearchange that was able to change between the ranges without using the clutch .....awful to say the least

Mx/mtx with Cummins/iveco power plant in are probably best tractors ever made in my opinion. Avoid Perkins power and speed matching gear box,apart from that they are bomb proof.
