Case IH windrowers.

The new WD 3 Series windrowers from Case IH will handle the heaviest crops, wet conditions and hilly terrain, while keeping operators comfortable and productive, according to company officials. The unit features a new 6.7 liter, fuel-injected Tier 3 compliant engine for the two high-horsepower models

that reduces emissions, provides more horsepower and is biodiesel-compatible. Also included is an upgraded engine and hydraulic oil cooling package to improve performance in the hottest conditions and a new 150-amp alternator to give more power for additional lighting and electrical needs. The WD 3 series offers three models ranging in horsepower from 126 to 226. A full line of headers is also offered, including four sickle head models, four draper head models and three rotary disc models. An optional new rear suspension dampening system--either factory or field-installed--is available for WD 3 Series units equipped with rear axle suspension. For growers running a wide draper header, there's a new optional weight kit. The three compatible rotary disc header models also have been upgraded. A shock protection system has been added to the cutterbed of the RD 132 (formerly RDX 131), RD 162 (previously RDX 161), and RDX181. All three models also will be equipped with a new low-profile rock guard. Case IH, 700 State St., Racine, W153404; ph: 262-636-6011; e-mail: nacustomerrelations@cnh.com; http://www.casih.com.
