McKeever Tractors in Co Antrim has been appointed as a McCormick dealer.

The company, located in Portglenone near Ballymena, will draw on past experience of McCormick tractors to support existing owners of the tractors and from now on focus exclusively on McCormick for future sales.

Thomas McKeever, managing director of McKeever Tractors, said: “We have customers operating these tractors.

“Our mechanics know the tractors and are confident working on them and we know the tractors perform well and are reliable.”

He also said that the company will carry a full range of parts for all years and models, from 2002 up to current machines.

McKeever said that recent investments – in terms of design and engineering from McCormick – have transformed the company’s offerings, playing a major role in his decision to sign up with Argo Tractors.

Noting the key selling points of the machines, Thomas said: “The tractors use proven components either manufactured in-house, such as axles and transmissions for the smaller- to mid-sized machines, or bought in from first-class suppliers such as ZF and Carraro, along with the most modern fuel-efficient engines from Deutz and FPT.”
