...and we are celebrating the bicentennial with a brand new powerhouse. Biggest in our Agri King line, it symbolizes the progress of American agriculture through the years. Case has proudly been a part of that progress since 1842.

Designed to speed up your tillage, row crop and heavy pto work, we've matched the 504 cu. in. turbocharged diesel with out 12 speed power shift transmission. You get 8 on-the-go speeds in the tillage range, and fast 19.5 transport speed for quick travel between your fields. We've come a long way increasing the American farmers' productivity.
