CASE Construction Equipment donated the use of an SV280B skid steer to Victory Garden Initiative’s 13^th Annual Great Milwaukee Victory Garden BLITZ. Volunteers built 385 garden beds and filled an additional 200 beds with fresh soil all within twenty-nine days.

The Great Milwaukee Victory Garden BLITZ is the nation’s largest garden-building event — having installed more than 5,000 gardens across the Greater Milwaukee area. Beginning with a group of friends in 2009 — who installed 35 raised-bed gardens in a single day — Victory Garden Initiative’s mission focuses on empowering communities to grow their own food and re-establishing the relationship between human and food ecology.

CASE Construction Equipment has launched its next generation of compact track loaders (CTLs) and skid steers with the introduction of the B Series — five CTLs and eight skid steers spanning radial and vertical lift patterns, as well as numerous horsepower and size classes* to provide contractors with the equipment choices best suited to their operation (*see model chart at end of news release).

“CASE CTLs and skid steers are enhanced to deliver a completely new and intuitive operating experience while also standing up to the rigors of heavy earthmoving and attachment use,” says George Mac Intyre, product manager for compact equipment, CASE. “The B Series retains the styling of previous CASE loaders, yet critical operational systems have been re-engineered for greater performance, and fully integrated with new control and operator interfaces to give contractors a powerful match of productivity, efficiency and convenience.”
