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.

Black rims on it look seriously good.

No experience of newer models, however we run an older xtx alongside a 64 series massey in the quarry, and every one prefers the McCormick to drive. Has a nicer cab, far superior cab and front suspension and is easy to operate. Sadly this older model is let down by its power hungry chocolate transmission, but dealer backup has been second to none over the years.

I wouldn’t be scared of a new on at all now its got a proven transmission

We had that Tractor a few weeks ago and did not like it at all and was the same money as a main stream tractor but I think will have no second hand value, good local dealership,but not for us

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
Great Walls were made of good stuff too......

Any company can throw big brand names like Cummins, Bosch, ZF or whatever around, the rest of the machine is just as important and is what brings it all together and makes it last. Time will tell.

The lower end of the new McC range has a strange, cheap look about it. Like a Solis.

Have u had a shot of the deici telehandler the boys sell?
They have offered me a test drive of one, if it’s got a seat that ain’t propped up with a block of wood, and any air con, it’ll get my vote !😂👍
Yes I had one last year , no complaints , but the apprentice wants me to get the pivot steer 😂 but my merlo has plenty life yet .
