Deere’s Utility Tractors
Offer High Performance
MOLINE, 111. The John
Deere 5000 Ten Series utility trac
tors offer commercial users en
hanced performance at highly
competitive prices.
The series replaces John
Deere’s popular 5000 Sales and
offers high-torque John Deere en
gines with more horsepower. Up
dated to meet EPA emission re
quirements, these tractors work
harder and bum fuels cleaner.
Grounds care professionals can
choose from four transmissions,
each improved for even smoother
shifting. To satisfy PTO needs,
there’s an independent S4O PTO,
plus an optional new shiftable
540 E (available on Sync Shuttle™
transmissions only). The 540 E lets
operators do light-duty PTO work
in economy mode to save fuel and
reduce noise.
When there’s loader work to be
done, single-lever hydraulic con
trol allows operators to run all
loader functions with just one
hand. Hydrostatic steering pro-
Com Head Smooth,
Fast, Durable
NEW HOLLAND (Lancaster
Co.) The new Model 996 com
head from New Holland gives
growers more com in less time,
thanks to its new-generation
design and polyethylene
construction.
“The unique low-profile point
design allows the ‘996’ to get
under downed com and pick it up
more efficiently than competitive
com heads,” said New Holland
product management. “And the
shielding flips up without tools for
complete access, providing the
easiest access to the row units of
anybody in the industry.”
Customer focus groups and sev
eral prototype trials run with cus
tomers helped New Holland
designers create a more durable
design that reduces overall main
tenance and improves resale val
ue, the company noted.
The surface of the low-profile
shields, fenders and points all
made from an innovative
polyethylene material is slip
pery, allowing for smooth, fast
feeding and increased ground
speeds. And because the
polyethylene construction absorbs
impact, ears don’t bounce out of
the com head. The result is less
ear loss and more capacity. Also,
the “996" is more durable than
previous models. The points, fen
ders and row unit covers are yel
low polyethylene all the way
through, so dings and damage
don’t show. They will never rust
and never need painting, giving
owners fewer hassles and higher
resale value.
Quick latches on the row unit
shields, fenders and points make
transport and maintenance easy.
And once the shielding is flipped
up, convenient props hold the
shields in position so the operator
can work quickly and confidently.
The fenders and row unit points
also feature easy height adjust-

ment, without tools.
The New Holland Model 996
features heavy-duty cast iron row
unit gearboxes to drive and sup
port the stalk rolls. Stalk rolls are
heat-treated and straight-fluted for
more aggressive feeding. The
unique two-piece cantilevered
design reduces replacement costs
and improves serviceability. And
the easy removal and installation
mean it is no problem to change
between standard stalk rolls and
knife rolls.
Additional flexibility is pro

which include key improvements
and maintain the unique benefits
of rotary technology.
“For the past 20 years, Axial-
Flow combine users have enjoyed
greater harvesting efficiency and
higher grain quality, thanks to the
threshing benefits of rotary tech
nology. With the 2300 Series,
we’ve added increased power,
durability and operator comfort to
the best combines in the busi
ness," said Kelly Kravig, market
ing manager, crop harvesting/
advanced farming systems.
Increased horsepower in the
Case IH 2366 and 2388 means
increased productivity. Power for
the 2366 has been increased 25 hp
to 240 hp. Similarly, the 2388 has
been increased 20 hp and is now
rated at 280 hp. In addition, the
power curves are designed to
improve response across the typi
cal operating range.

Hitch Provides Supreme Towing Ease
GOODFLELD, 111. DMI Inc.,
a manufacturer of towing systems
for more than 30 years, recently
introduced the new Quic *n Easy
2-inch receiver hitch for full-size
pickup trucks.
This hitch provides easy posi
tioning of a “spring-cushioned”
receiver to provide a fast hook-up
and smooth, easy lowing.
The swing/extension pattern of
the receiver extends 7 inches and
swings 12 inches from the frame.
This eliminates the need for per
fect truck positioning and allows
for a one-person hookup. Release
handles move independently for
swing and extension, and recessed
slide plates prevent receiver tow
