The 56-horsepower model 1845 C, which was specially decaled to commemorate the pro duction milestone, was immedi ately delivered to long-time skid steer customer Conco, Inc., of Wichita, Kan. The customer who bought the 50,000 th skid steer built his busi ness around the 1845 because it’s reliable. The company traded in its first unit after 12 years and 12,000 hours according to Binkley & Hurst.

The Case Uni-Loader® skid steer product line includes six models—the 1818, 1825, 1835 C, 1838, 1840 and 1845 C—ranging from 18 to 56 net horsepower (13 to 42kW), with operating load rat ings from 600 to 1700 pounds (272 to 771 kg). Combine Has More Cleaning Area NEW HOLLAND (Lancaster Co.)—The new Model TX™6B Super Conventional Class VII New Holland combine is powered by a 300 HP 9.5 L engine. Like the Class VI “TX™66” introduced in 1994, the new Super Conventional “TX6B” has 30 per cent more cleaning area than other conventional combines, said New Holland Combine Product mana ger Brian Martin. Grain tank capacity has been increased to 300 bushels with fast unloading to provide outstanding daily harvesting capacity. The new “TX6B” uses conven tional threshing with a rotary separator that removes nearly all the grain from the straw ahead of the straw walkers. The new com bine also has a self-leveling shoe that automatically compensates for sidehill slopes, Martin said. Automatic lateral float option senses header height without ground contact. Using an ultrason ic sensing system, the header can be operated close to ground level to shave off low-hanging crops. “You can run as low as you need to and not worry about burying the header in the dirt,” Martin said.
