Specializing in residential, commercial and industrial grading and paving, Bissen Asphalt has served Door County, Wisconsin since 1968.

“My dad started up here in ’68, and he retired in ’04, and I started in ’05 on my own,” says Rick Bissen, second-generation owner of Bissen Asphalt. “I’ve always enjoyed it. There are never two driveways or parking lots that are the same. It’s always different — there’s always a challenge.”

With grading jobs varying between residential driveways to large parking lots and municipal projects, Bissen needed a motor grader that was powerful enough to handle large jobs, but agile enough to get the work done in tighter spaces. Bissen worked with CASE dealer Miller-Bradford & Risberg and decided on a CASE 836C motor grader. “I was looking for a mid-size grader because the larger graders, the road style graders are too big for what we do,” Bissen explains. “And the small ones, they can’t cut. They can’t grade. They can’t carry the material. I was looking for something in the mid-size range with a little more weight, and I do believe I found the perfect machine for it because it has been very awesome for us so far this year.”

CASE Construction Equipment recently held a CASE LIVE virtual on Machine Control for Dozers and Motor Graders. The event focused on the types of precision technologies available, the applications they are best suited for, and the operational advantages that each solution provides. This includes improving productivity and grading accuracy, greater equipment utilization, reducing wear and tear on your equipment — and ultimately the ability to bid more competitively and drive down the total cost of ownership of your fleet.

“At CASE, our focus on machine control is built on scalability and identifying the solutions that work best for your business,” says Richie Snyder, product marketing manager for construction equipment digital and precision solutions and telematics, CASE. “Our goal is to take away the intimidation factor and show equipment owners the practical benefits of machine control in the work they do.”

CASE Construction Equipment introduces the all-new C Series motor graders. Two new models deliver a wide offering of new weights, horsepower ratings and feature-driven grading solutions for municipalities, as well as small-to-mid-size site prep, road-maintenance and general construction businesses. These new motor grader models feature a variety of standard features designed to maximize productivity and performance. Available in both standard and All Wheel Drive (AWD) configurations, the 836C and 856C achieve Tier 4 Final compliance with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) engine technology that increases fuel efficiency, keeps exhaust temperatures down and eliminates the need for regeneration.

The new models include:
