McCormick MTX series: the big six-cylinder tractors from Doncaster, MTX 120 to MTX 200, 86 to 129 kW, from the former Case IH plant after the McCormick brand's 2001 revival
McCormick is a tractor brand revived in 2001 by the Italian Argo Group after Case IH gave up its plant in Doncaster, England, following the merger with New Holland; Argo took over the site and the historic McCormick name, which goes back to the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company. The MTX range is the new brand's big, six-cylinder line: the number after MTX gives the power class in hp, from the MTX 120 to the MTX 200, with the MTX 135 and MTX 150 each appearing in two variants in the register. All versions run six-cylinder diesel engines of around 6 litres.

The register lists here 11 versions with 86 to 129 kW from six-cylinders of 5,900 to 6,750 cm³, unladen weights from 5,400 to 8,860 kg, gross weights from 9,500 to 12,500 kg, lengths from 4,770 to 5,663 mm, widths from 2,300 to 2,480 mm and a cab height around 2,910 mm.
With the MTX range McCormick occupies the upper class, competing there with the Case IH Magnum, New Holland T7/T8, Deutz-Fahr Agrotron and Fendt; as a smaller, independent brand McCormick remains a niche supplier in this segment alongside the large groups.
On used MTX tractors, operating hours, turbocharger and intercooler condition, the transmission's powershift steps, hydraulic output and PTO for the heavy implements of this class, and rust on cab and mudguards count; parts run through the McCormick and Argo Tractors network.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
