RedMF40 The modern day McCormick came about when Fiat bought CIH. They had to divest in some tractor lines/plants to satisfy anti-trust agencies. So ARGO Spa bought McCormick and the Doncaster, England plant where CIH had made there utility tractors at. So this MX135 was made in that plant. It has an IVECO motor.
In 2007 Argo closed the Doncaster, England plant and moved the majority of the tractor production to Italy. There smaller models are made in Korea.
The Doncaster built tractors still had a lot of the CIH design left in them. They where pretty good machines. Mostly a fairly simple machine. Well the crazy in modern tractors is all HI tech. So after the Italy move they got into a more computer controlled type of tractor. The over all reaction to them in the US is that they are pretty undependable. The dealerships in the US usually are not BIG stores. So they rarely have highly trained techs. So complicated computer issues stump them it seems.
A dairy farm we hauled hay to had 4-5 of them. The Doncaster tractors they loved. The Italian built ones they hated. They had one big Italian built one that was 170-180 HP and it was out of service for almost a year with the dealership trying to get it fixed. Tractor ran out of warranty while the dealership was trying to get it fixed. McCormick told the farmer that any further repairs would be out of his pocket. The last time I was there he had gotten rid of all of the McCormicks.
