CaseIH -Based on reader responses and editor input, Farm Industry News awarded its finOvation honor to their 22 most interesting products of 2001. Both the Case IH 1200 series ASM pivot transport planter and STX425 and STX450 tractors took honors.
Two brands of powerful tractors with a common platform earned a top spot in the large-tractor category. The New Holland TJ 4WD tractors and the Case IH STX425 and STX450 Steigers, both introduced this fall, share the honors for their superior size, horsepower and power to the ground. Both brands are able to pull wide tillage implements and scraper pans through heavy conditions.
