Our prime reason for the new look is to remind you that theres high performance here that you dont want to miss. And you get it in both Case tractors and their teammates David Brown. Maybe you havent sampled Case engine performance lately. Youll find that weve kept the high torque characteristic you like so much but we've made todays engines as quick to respond as a quarter horse. How about David Brown engines?
