MCCORMICK Equipment For Sale in New Zealand

---

The new and used McCormick tractors you find for sale today, with models ranging from a compact tractor line for orchards and vineyards up to high-performance 300 horsepower or greater models, have a long and storied history.

The McCormick farm equipment name traces its roots back to the early 1800s when Cyrus Hall McCormick got his start by redesigning a reaper originally created by his father. From that came the McCormick Harvesting Machine Co., which, in 1834, was awarded a patent for a cast- and wrought-iron plough.

In 1902, McCormick and several other manufacturers combined into the International Harvester Co. and, by 1911, a variety of McCormick-branded products existed, including mowers, tedders, rakes, and fertiliser distributors. In 1914, its first combine, or combined harvester thresher, known as the McCormick Deering No. 1, was produced.

Through the years, the company developed a range of McCormick International tractors, including the famous Farmall brand, but both the McCormick and Farmall names were eventually discontinued. In 1985, Case purchased parts of the International Harvester agricultural division to form Case IH. When Case IH wanted to merge with New Holland in 2000, it needed to divest some of its assets to meet regulatory approval. ARGO purchased those assets and reintroduced the McCormick Tractors brand and began offering McCormick tractors for sale around the world, including in North America, Italy, Spain, France, and South Africa.
