Case had much more to offer than their engines, yes they stayed with the same design too long, held out putting 3pt/Eagle hitch on the larger tractors too long, like Ande/Loren and others here we too were a dealer starting in the 60's and we out sold the competion here hands down, some years it was the industrial side others the ag, but we had a very good product and were proud to sell them and could compete in a demo against any one, as to dealing with Case, top management the Pres. ect we had no dealings, the R&D department, service reps and sales reps ect was our main line of communication and they were very good to work with, warrenty claims were taken seriously and delt with in the time we were a dealer, in the 80's that was not always the case but then we sold out in 76 so we missed that bullet, yes Case had isses as stated all companys do/did, all companys have made some thing that may not have been their "best" but the tractors/backhoes and implements we sold here we very accepted and sold well, we stood behind them and at that time Case stood behind us, out time selling Case was a very proud time for us the only thing I remember us not having great luck with was the first year run of the 330 baler as they at first was not up to the name, we did do the updates and they ended up being OK but not earth shattering which in turn led to us getting NH a few years later, many here do not deal with construction like we did and I can say case still leads in loader backhoe's in terms of productivity and resale, even today the Case dealership still keeps on hand 20 plus 580's alone more than double what the Cator JD dealer has on hand they just sell and are that good period!, I know most here are Ag and could care less about what I am saying here and thats fine, like Ande Loren and others we were there back in the day when Case was in my mind at its glory days and it was a fine company and was very proud of the products that were made/designed on a very slim budget, if I ruffle a few feather's with my statements so be it no one seems to mind ruffing mine with statements I know are not true, as Dan said we were there on all fronts ordering, selling, dealing with customers, warrentys all of it and they were not all grand day's but i would not trade any of it to have been selling a different brand Case was our lives it was what put food on our tables and was a good life, I do not own anything that has CIH or CNH on it or that is red or blue that is not my thing, not that they are bad or anything its just not what I want, they are liked by others and that is fine by me I just like what I like
