Now, why did I ask that?
Even after 14 years, I’ve
still not convinced myself
that there are certain things
that a farm wife and mother
would perhaps be better off
not knowing. But, being a
downright curious (nosey?)
kind of person, I persist in
seeking all the details of the
day to day happenings of our
farm and family;
Question: Why’s that
heifer standing there bet
Jb A commitment to
WWuulh tf
Case does more than talk about it!
What does the Commitment to Quality Program mean to you l7 FtElll—
ABILITY, POWER, PERFORMANCE, all the things that you want, when you
select a new tractor!
AtKSSwe feel that youshould get what you pay for, that’s why each tractor
goes through five quality control zones at the factory Then it receives a
thorough predelivery check-up by the dealer, and at
delivery you receive a fix-it list Return the tractor
and list within six months or 200 tractor hours and
we’ll repair anything on it not due to
neglect or misuse

to go and perform for you with the performance
you paid for
