Cl6-Lanctster Fanning, Saturday, October 23, 1993 Case S INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. J I Case held the “encore perfor mance” of its next generation of Case International Magnum trac tors during Case IH dealer busi ness meetings held in five cities across North America this week. The-new 7200 Series Magnum tractors include five models, the 7210,7220,7230,7240 and 7250, which are rated at 130, 155, 170, 195 and 215 PTO horsepower (97, 116, 127, 145 and 160 kW), respectively. “When Case initially intro duced the Magnum tractors in 1987, they represented the first real industry breakthrough in trac tor design in more than two decades,” said Tom Stadtmueller, J I Case director, agricultural equipment product management. “More than anything, the Mag num tractors are a line developed from customer input. We asked customers thousands of them to describe their dream tractor. And then we built it.” Since then, according to Stadt mueller, the tractors have under gone a careful evolutionary process. Ron Morishita, JI Case product manager-Magnum tractors, explained that the new line retains key features customers have liked about the 7100 Series Magnum tractors. Ostrich GREENSBURG (Westmore land Co.) A steering committee met recently in Harrisburg to form a local association of ostrich breeders.

ROHRER i BRO„ INC. Smoketown, PA tages Encore Key changes to the line since the introduction include making in-cab hydraulic flow controls standard, reducing steering and shift-lever effort and providing an extra-slow creeper-speed option. A four-speed reverses has also been added, as well as many other features customers requested dur ing the past several years. “All told, we’ve made more than 200 significant improvements during the past six years,” said Morishita. “And now, the 7200 Series incor porates even more features our customers have been asking for.” Morishita identified turning radius as a major improvement that enhances performance. The turning radius required with the new 7200 Series tractors is now as much as 11 percent tighter than on previous models. To achieve tighter turns, the lower front grill and side panels have been re sculptured and steering angles modified. Several other changes have been made inside the cab to make operation easier and more com fortable. One is the replacement of the hydraulic flow control lever with a control knob to allow infi nite adjustment The addition of the new multimode MFD system facilitates tighter, shorter turning when using the brakes for turns.

He attributes the success to his wife Peggy’s con stant attention to the operation. Gillsleider presented diagnostic and treatment procedures as well PH. 717-299-2571 Performance mode, applying either brake dis engages the front drive and allows the tractor to turn shorter than would be possible with the front drive engaged. When the turn is completed, the MFD re-engages. Among other changes operators will notice in the cab is an improvement in the seat that reduces fatigue and provides even greater operator comfort A new deluxe seat is also available. The cab also features a new, advanced air-conditioning system that makes use of a more environ mentally friendly refrigerant. Compressor capacity has been increased to make sure the system offers the comfort levels farmers have come to expect from a Magnum. Maryland Joins Ag For NAFTA ANNAPOLIS, Md.

The result will mean expanded markets for Maryland agriculture and more jobs,” Walk er said. “My fellow agriculture secreta ries in the Mid-Atlantic region and around the country see NAFTA as a real boost to the U.S. economy. Increased trade can only help our agricultural industry which is still number one in the world. Nations everywhere are clamoring for U.S. food products to help feed their people. Now is not the time to stifle the expansion of these mark ets,” said Walker.
