| Are you sure that they're actually Case dozers? I've never really looked into it but always had the idea that they were of a Fiat heritage. Fact is, I don't know.
I know the excavators are a basic Hitachi design, but powered by Cummins engines. Case excavators are too for that matter...
My preference here would still be on Cat for the simple reason that Cat has a better parts system 'here'. Atlantic Tractors is very strong, good servicing dealer 'here'. NewHolland.... not so much anymore. There was a day when NOBODY had a better parts system than Ford/NH. That went downhill, and downhill fast after the Case merger. I had the rather unique experience this past summer of having to go to Atlantic Tractors to get 2 axle lock tabs for a Ford rear end that was common to Cat backhoes. He didn't have a direct cross, but had inventory at another store. Brought it in overnight at no charge, matched it on the counter, and off I went...
NEVER forget the little things like that. If Nh can do that where you're at, great.... but they don't here anymore.
