The McCormick CT28HST is a tractor from McCormick. Power comes from a four-cylinder engine; from 1.5 litres it draws 28 hp (21 kW). Rated power arrives at 2,600 rpm — the engine pulls from low down rather than needing to be revved.
Propulsion comes from MFWD. It will not go faster than 25 km/h — a working pace, not a travelling one. Unladen, it tips the scales at 1,200 kg.
It runs on diesel; the engine is water-cooled. Within the range, rated power spans from 9.4 to 55.8 hp; with 28.4 hp, the CT28HST sits in the lower third. Directly alongside are the Cub with 9.4 hp below and the BM with 37 hp above.
McCormick – other models: the collective page of tractors outside the named ranges, from the historic 10-20 and 15-30 and the British B-250 and B-414 to the ARGO ranges C-Max, CX, CT and X, 7 to 191 kW, Perkins, Mitsubishi, Daedong and Yanmar engines
This page gathers the McCormick tractors the register could not assign to a named range – and the name spans a hundred years: Cyrus McCormick's reaper company was the core of International Harvester in 1902, whose 10-20 and 15-30 tractors of the 1920s and British B-250 and B-414 from Doncaster are listed here as McCormick; in 2000 the Italian ARGO group of Fabbrico bought the name together with the Doncaster plant from Case IH and has since built McCormick tractors as Landini's red sister. The type logic of the ARGO era: C-Max and CX are the mid-range of the 2000s (CX105 about 105 hp), CT the compact tractors of Korean and Japanese manufacture with HST as hydrostat, CN the narrow-track models, and since 2010 the X4 to X8 ranges, in which the first digit gives the series and the following ones the power (X7.660 about 165 hp); F and XtraShift mark the orchard version and the powershift. The engines come from Perkins (804 and 1104) in the medium, Mitsubishi, Daedong and Yanmar in the small and FPT and Deutz in the big models.

The register lists here 225 versions with 6.9 to 191 kW from three- to six-cylinders of 976 to 8,268 cm³, PTO outputs from 22 to 50 hp on the recorded compact models, lift capacities from 1,188 to 10,950 kg, unladen weights from 594 to 10,040 kg, lengths from 2,502 to 5,870 mm and widths from 1,200 to 2,780 mm.
McCormick is today a brand for farms looking for a simple, mechanically robust tractor at a favourable price; the X ranges share technology and cab with the Landini 5 to 7 ranges from the same plant.
On used tractors, originality and engine condition count on the historic models, clutch, shuttle and Perkins engine on the C-Max and CX, hydrostat and front loader on the CT, operating hours, powershift and electronics on the X ranges; parts run through ARGO and the engine makers.

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.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
