As part of the 1999 mega-merger of Case IH and New Holland, European Commission regulators required several divestitures, including the sale of Case's Doncaster plant, a transmission factory in France and rights to the long-dormant McCormick brand.
McCormick tractor lines parallel the current Case IH tractors, but already there are differences. A Perkins engine, rather than a Cummins, powers the 6-cyl. MC McCormicks. A Speed Sequencer transmission that allows push-button shifting is available for the 118- to 176-hp MTX series. There are some cosmetic differences, too.
Anyway they woke me up. Thought i could learn more here.
Guess i will have to get out and see for myself. |
