That was the comment of Becker Farm Equipment vice-president Bob Becker in referring to the first year of sales of the new Magnum trac- tors manufactured by Case Interna- tional. Becker who is also manager of the Exeter operation went on to say, "The Magnum not only went beyond our fondest hopes, bu't also those of our customers. Since the Magnum line was in- troduced in August of 1987, the company has established a 5,000 hour and five year warranty at no additional up -front cost to the cus- tomer. Becker added, " That's the type of confidence the company has in this line. There is no comparable warranty on the market." The Magnum tractors come in four models ranging from 130 to 195 horsepower. Case IH combines also sold well in 1988. The Becker forecast for 1988 was to sell two more com- bines than they did the previous year. The actual combine sale in- crease over 1987 was 10. During 1988, Case IH increased their market share considerablq' in combines and tractors with 130 plus horsepower and more and Becker expects that trend to contin- ue this coming year. Upcoming in the Case IH line for this year is a new series of upgraded combines in May and a new tractor series with horsepower from 75 to 100 late in the year. Case International and Hesston Corporation have recently signed a joint venture agreement. The pur- pose of the agreement is to maxi- mize the utilization of production facilities for hay and forage equip- ment of both companies. This will allow improved quality and availa- bility to all Case IH dealers. I Case International recently pur- chased the Steiger tractor line and this consolidation now provides one of the largest lines of four-wheel drive tractors. While commodity prices and the farm economy took an upswing in 1988, Bob Becker doesn't see the same thing happening this year. He commented, ' I don't think there will be the same upsweep, but I hope commodity prices will at least stabilize and hopefully a small rise in some categories. Becker says he is concerned with the present high interest rates. He added, "They certainly are a big factor in the farm equipment busi- ness and I hope the government • can control inflation.
