Farm Bureau-Caterpillar alliance means savings on equipment

The American Farm Bureau Federation and Caterpillar said last week that they have formed a new partnership that will provide members with up to $2,000 in purchase incentives on Cat machines. In addition, Caterpillar plans to support Farm Bureau programs in 2016 and coordinate with the Farm Bureau on other efforts.

Equipment under the incentives includes Cat skid-steer loaders, compact and multi-terrain loaders, wheel loaders, telehandlers, backhoe loaders, hydraulic excavators and track-type tractors. Incentives offered include:
• Small Wheel Loaders: $2,000
• Compact Wheel Loaders: $1,000
• Small Dozers: $1,000
• Backhoe Loaders: $500-$1,000
• Compact Track Loaders: $500-$1,000
• Multi-Terrain Loaders: $500-$1,000
• Skid Steer Loaders: $500-$1,000
• Telehandlers: $500-$1,000
• Mini Hydraulic Excavators: $250-$500

The Farm Bureau Member Benefit discount on equipment can be combined with any current retail discounts, promotions, rebates or offers available through Caterpillar or its dealers, with the exception of other membership-purchase incentives.

All participating state Farm Bureau members are eligible. Discounts cannot be applied to past purchases. Members must provide a valid Member Verification Certificate to the Cat dealer at the time of quote to receive the discount. Certificates may be obtained at www.fbadvantage.com/cat.
