Agcostar was a line of 4WD Articulated tractors that was built by AGCO from 1994-2001.

In 1994, AGCO purchased McConnell Tractors based in Kingston, NC, which was the builder of the Massey-Ferguson and McConnell 4WD tractors. McConnell had purchased the 4WD articulated tractor business from Massey Ferguson back in 1989, and had moved production from Brantford, Ontario, Canada.[1]

When AGCO purchased McConnell, they moved production to the former White plant in Coldwater, Ohio. The Agcostar was intended to be a stripped-down 4WD that would be more affordable to farmers. Sales were never very high, and production of the Agcostar ceased in 2001. AGCO didn't manufacture a 4WD articulated tractor until the Challenger MT900 series was introduced in 2007.
