Loaders Offer Key Improvements

RACINE, Wis. Case IH in
troduces six new L “5” Series
front-end loaders, designed with
cycle time and performance im
provements that will meet farm
ers’ diverse needs for
performance, durability, and
serviceability.
“Teamed with a Case IH ‘X’
Series tractor,an L “5” Series
loader will provide farmers with
an integrated system for almost
any material-handling chore,’’
said Larry Lanie, Case IH mar
keting manager for utility trac
tors and loaders. “Depending on
a customer’s specific needs, we
offer standard or deluxe models
to match their requirements.”
New standard models include
the L 405, L 505, L 605 and L 705.
The new deluxe models are des
ignated as L 455, L 555, L 655 and
L 755.
“Design changes incorpo
rated into the new loaders spe
cifically address the input we’ve
received from customers,” Lanie
said.
“The bucket cylinder down
force is four times greater than
previous models. This is very
helpful in operations such as
back dragging, hardpan scrap
ing, and feedlot operations.”
An improved location for the
loader control valve and self
leveling valve provides better
routing of hoses and tubes. Also,
a new right-hand tower hose
guide positions the loader hoses
to provide the operator with in-
