Claas of America introduces used equipment program
Claas of America announces Claas Used, a preowned equipment program for North America that combines the performance and efficiency of a Claas machine, with professionally inspected and protected “Certified” units and special low-rate financing through Claas Financial Services.

Supply chain disruptions and financial constraints have affected many growers across North America. Now, growers can get the right Claas equipment — from combines and tractors to forage harvesters and hay tools — at a price that fits their operation. The Claas preowned equipment can be accessed through CLAASUsedEquipment.com.

“Every operation has different equipment needs, but today's business-minded ag professional should not have to compromise on efficiency or the bottom line,” says Allen Miller, North American remarketing manager. “By combining the superior power and efficiency of Claas machines at a preowned price with a one-year protection plan and excellent low-rate financing, growers who take advantage of the Claas Certified Pre-Owned program can have the best of both worlds.”

To uphold confidence in all purchases, Claas has incorporated a Certified Pre-Owned equipment standard within the Claas Used program. All certified machines have been inspected, repaired and approved based on rigorous criteria by Claas Certified Technicians. This gives growers the kind of performance, efficiency and engineering that is expected from a Claas machine. They also offer affordable and flexible protection plans.

New Holland Construction launches largest, most powerful compact track loader to date
Skid steer and track loaders have become an essential tool and necessary investment for everyday chores for many farms, landscapers and construction operations. To further support customer needs, New Holland Construction launches the C362, its largest and most powerful compact track loader, alongside the 2021 GIE+EXPO. With 114 gross hp, a rated operating capacity of 6,200 pounds (lb.), and a breakout force of 12,900 lb., the C362 is ready to tackle any project.

Starting from the outside, the C362’s new frame design is built to last with a heavy-duty steel rear door and rear hood. Bucket cylinders are mounted on the front of the boom arms to increase ingress clearance and add even more pounds of bucket breakout force.

The patented New Holland Super Boom^® vertical lift design optimizes the C362 for lift-and-carry operations. With greater dump reach and height, customers can easily load high-sided truck boxes or hoppers. Full 360-degree visibility comes with the C362’s low-profile Super Boom arm and shoulder design, an integrated rear camera, and new LED front work lights. Operators can see even more with the C362’s large glass door, lower front-door threshold and see-through area on the cab roof. No matter the job, the C362 provides maximum efficiency and safety.

The low-profile undercarriage design eases cleanout, reduces noise and increases durability. It also provides an extended track life and smoother ride due to the steel-embedded tracks rolling on the rubber instead of steel.

The in-cab 8-inch (in.) LCD display gives operators a quick look at engine settings and performance information. The EZ EH custom screen settings allow for easy navigation and quick operation adjustments. The display also provides greater visibility to the rear of the loader for an efficient, safer operation.
