New Tractors
Offer Versatility
RACINE, Wis. Case Cor
poration introduces its most versa
tile line of utility tractors ever with
the unveiling of the Case IH C
Series and CX Series models.
These tractors, offered in six
sizes ranging from 40 to 84 PTO
horsepower, perform a wide varie
ty of farmyard and field work
while providing an outstanding
environment for operators.
“Our customers told us they
were looking for a lot of functions
coming from tractors in this
class,” said Bill Weber, Case mar
keting application specialist.
“Since they’re used so much,
farmers also want them to be com
fortable.”
“Wc’rc excited about the role
these tractors can play, and so are
the farmers who helped us with
the design.”
The versatility starts in the set
up of the tractors, Weber said. All
the models the CXSO, CX6O,
CX7O, CXSO, CX9O and CXIOO
are available in flat platform or
cab configurations, with mechani
cal front drive available if desired
as well as loaders, so operators
will be able to choose an equip
ment combination tailored to their
Balers Wrap Nutrition
In Five Round Sizes ■
ATLANTA, Ga. The fixed
chamber design of the New Idea
4800 round balers helps producers
wrap high nutrition bales with
soft, star-shaped centers while
using economical, low PTO hp
tractors.
The 4800 Series includes the
4844 which wraps a 4x4-foot bale
using only a 44 PTO hp tractor.
The 4845 makes a 4x5-foot bale
with a 50 PTO hp tractor. The
4854 builds a 5x4-foot bale <vith a
60 PTO hp tractor. The 4855 cre
ates 5x5-foot bales with a 65 PTO
hp tractor.
The largest model in the line,
the 4865, rolls out a 6x5-foot bale
with only a 70 PTO hp tractor.
All five models use New Idea's
microprocessor-driven electronic
bale controller. The wrapping
mechanism features adjustable
bale density springs and the tying
system uses an electric actuator
which controls the activity of dual
twine arms. Full bale alerts arc
Seedway Acquires
Farm Seed Business
HALL. N.Y. Seedway Cor
poration announces the acquisi
tion of Robson’s hybrid field com
and farm seed business.
Don Wertman, Seedway presi
dent said, “We look forward to
supplying the Seneca brand prod
ucts to the Robson dealer network
as well as introducing the broader
Seedway products offering.”
“The Seedway and Robson
product lines complement each
needs. Straddle style tractors,
identified as C Series models, are
also available in all six sizes.
The engines deliver an opti
mum package of power and eco
nomy, Weber said. “The engines
develop up to 37 percent PTO
torque rise and high maximum
torque to pull through the tough
spots, yet they’re very economi
cal. Combined with the 40-gallon
fuel tank on the cab and flat plat
form models, that efficiency pro
vides extended hours of operation
before refueling.”
Easy, reliable starts are another
important feature for a versatile
tractor. “These models start well,
and the new combustion tech
nology results in less visible
smoke and cleaner operation,”
Weber said.
The hydraulics of the new ser
ies are stout, he noted. Total hy
draulic capacity is 26 gallons per
minute, with 18.4 gallons per min
ute sent to the hitch and remotes.
This capacity results in excep
tional flow for every job, de
creased cycle times and increased
lift capacity. The oil level in this
system can be checked cold, to
make maintenance easier..
