Power, Comfort and Control, for Latest Evolution of CASE Construction Equipment’s Iconic 580SV Backhoe Loader
CNH’s CASE Construction Equipment has updated its popular 580SV backhoe loader, with a host of improvements that will cut operating costs for customers and increase productivity for operators. With best-in-class engine power and torque, the 580SV delivers improved lifting and digging performance, with increased fuel efficiency.
A new transmission option incorporates Automatic Direct Drive, which engages in third and fourth gears, locking the power of the engine to the transmission. This reduces losses in the transmission, increasing gradeability and acceleration, resulting in reduced travel times for the operator and improved fuel consumption while travelling. The machine also benefits from lower noise levels at higher travel speeds, as the engine and transmission work together.
The 580SV also comes with a brake enable idle system, that allows the operator to use the machine in a cruise control manner, using the hand throttle to maintain engine and machine travel speeds. When it is necessary to slow the machine, pressing the foot brakes automatically switches the throttle to an idle position, making it easier to reduce speed.

$10 Million MathWorks Gift Powers Appalachian Mountain Club’s Permanent Protection of Barnard Forest
AMC secures nearly 29,000 acres of ecologically critical forest in Maine’s 100-Mile Wilderness
GREENVILLE, Maine, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC), the nation’s oldest outdoor recreation and conservation organization, announced today that it has completed the acquisition of the Barnard Forest in Maine’s 100-Mile Wilderness thanks to a transformative $10 million gift from MathWorks, the leading developer of mathematical computing software. This acquisition secures nearly 29,000 acres of globally significant habitat and marks a major milestone in the Appalachian Mountain Club’s landmark Maine Woods Initiative, which now totals 127,710 acres.
The gift from MathWorks, the second-largest philanthropic contribution in AMC’s history, enabled the organization to finalize its purchase of the Barnard Forest from The Conservation Fund and The Malone Family Land Preservation Foundation years ahead of schedule, accelerating conservation outcomes in one of the most ecologically important landscapes in the eastern United States.
“This gift from MathWorks is more than generous — it’s catalytic,” said Nicole Zussman, President and CEO of AMC. “It enables us to safeguard an irreplaceable landscape, ensuring its health, access, and biodiversity are permanently protected. MathWorks has made a profound investment not just in land, but in climate resilience, community opportunity, and ecological continuity. I’m grateful they shared our vision and accelerated our ability to protect this landscape two years faster than we’d even hoped.”
The Barnard Forest, a nearly 29,000-acre working forest in Piscataquis County, lies within the Pleasant River watershed, home to the last naturally reproducing population of landlocked salmon in Maine. The forest includes more than 70 miles of stream corridors, critical spawning grounds for endangered sea-run Atlantic salmon, extensive spruce-fir flats, and associated wetlands that provide cold-water habitat for native brook trout and landlocked smelt. The land protects an uninterrupted, undeveloped forest from the Appalachian Trail highlands to the main stem of the Pleasant River, a total continuous conserved land of over 750,000 acres, nearly the size of the White Mountain National Forest.
This conservation milestone was made possible through AMC’s strategic partnership with The Conservation Fund. In 2023, The Conservation Fund and The Malone Family Land Preservation Foundation jointly acquired the southern portion of the Barnard property, giving AMC the time needed to raise funds for its permanent protection. The Conservation Fund’s share was purchased through its Working Forest Fund, with support from the Richard King Mellon Foundation. Today’s announcement brings together the shared vision of multiple partners focused on conservation to permanently protect the property well ahead of schedule.
“This is precisely the type of meaningful, high-impact work The Conservation Fund was created to tackle,” said Tom Duffus, the Fund’s vice president and northeast representative based in Freeport. “Through swift and strategic action, we collaborated to successfully protect this vital place to create lasting benefits for the great state of Maine, local residents, and this region’s many visitors.”
Under the Appalachian Mountain Club’s stewardship, the Barnard Forest will support restoration forestry, habitat connectivity, and climate adaptation. The property will be managed to Forest Stewardship Council standards, with plans to rebuild older forest conditions and expand carbon stocking, which is an integral part of the organization’s broader climate strategy. The forest also contributes to rural economic growth by helping support more than 50 forestry- and recreation-related jobs and reinforcing the AMC’s $8.39 million annual economic impact in the region. The property will remain on the tax rolls of Piscataquis County.
“Barnard represents a true convergence of conservation opportunity, ecological importance, and public benefit,” added Steve Tatko, Vice President of Land and Conservation for the Appalachian Mountain Club. “This land was closed to the public for nearly 20 years. Thanks to MathWorks, The Conservation Fund, and countless donors and partners, it will now remain open to future generations for fishing, hunting, recreation, and cultural use, including tribal access. AMC is proud to live its values in a forest like this in service of ecology and people, for the benefit of both.”
Initial funding for this project came from the Richard King Mellon Foundation, the EJK Foundation, and other lead individuals and foundations. AMC’s three-year campaign to protect and reopen Barnard Forest resulted in nearly $24 million in gifts, grants, and program-related investments to support the acquisition, perpetual stewardship, and capital necessary to re-establish public access to Barnard Forest. MathWorks completed the purchase of the Barnard Forest with a transformative $10 million donation, part of its commitment to sustainability and science-based climate solutions.
“At MathWorks, we believe in solutions that scale, endure, and benefit both people and the planet,” said MathWorks SVP and CFO Jeanne O’Keefe. “Supporting the permanent protection of Barnard Forest reflects this commitment. We’re proud to help accelerate the Appalachian Mountain Club’s work in the Maine Woods and protect this extraordinary landscape for future generations.”
The Barnard Forest acquisition is part of AMC’s Maine Woods Initiative, the largest multi-use conservation and recreation project in the eastern United States. With this addition, the initiative now encompasses nearly 130,000 contiguous acres — an area nearly three times the size of Acadia National Park.
Since its founding in 1876, the Appalachian Mountain Club has led major conservation milestones, including advocacy for the creation of the White Mountain National Forest. Under Nicole Zussman’s leadership, the organization is building a bold new legacy, one rooted in science, scaled through partnership, and focused on lasting impact for the land and the people who depend on it.

Our People: Engineer Howard Moore Celebrates a 50-Year Career
- Howard Moore has had a remarkable 50-year career in engineering at Marathon driven by curiosity and innovation.
- Moore emphasizes collaboration and mentorship passing on wisdom to young engineers and students.
- His impact is evident through the success of his mentees and his continuous contributions to the company.
Howard Moore has had a remarkable journey in engineering. He’s been with the same company, though under different names, since 1975. Now, over 50 years later, Moore continues to make impactful contributions at Marathon driven by an insatiable curiosity and passion for innovation. His approach has always been rooted in problem-solving and perseverance.
“I’ve never done anything I knew how to do, but I’ve never seen anything I couldn’t figure out,” said Moore. “I just never accepted that there was something I could not do.”
This mindset has fueled a career marked by continuous improvement and a refusal to accept the status quo. Throughout his tenure, Moore has emphasized the importance of collaboration and mentorship. He credits early influences from people like his former colleague chemist Dwayne Chapman for instilling values of diligence and historical awareness in problem-solving.
“He told me to always find out what’s happened before you in any problem you work on,” said Moore. “Don’t try to invent something without knowing what other people have done. Nine times out of 10, the problem has already been at least partially solved, and we just forgot the answer. Building on what others have done, rather than starting from scratch, facilitates higher level innovations and is the basis for our civilization.”
Today, Moore passes on that wisdom by mentoring young engineers and chemical engineering students, helping the next generation tackle tomorrow’s challenges. He’s currently mentoring three undergraduate students from the University of Kentucky and Kansas State.
His mentorship has left a lasting impression on a former colleague who has found success in her career in refining. Engineer Cristal Rodriguez was working for a catalyst vendor at Marathon’s Galveston Bay, Texas, refinery in 2015. She would prepare refining unit reviews and try to anticipate every question Moore might ask.
“Those sessions taught me how to think critically, ask the right questions, and hold myself to a high standard,” said Rodriguez. “By the end of that period, we had developed a strong relationship, and together we even began training the young engineers during the unit reviews, so they could learn and grow into experts of their own units.”
She said she didn’t realize how much those moments would shape her career.
“Howard believed in me before I fully believed in myself, and that encouragement pushed me to grow,” said Rodriguez. “The foundation he helped me build is one of the reasons I’ve been able to excel in every company I’ve worked for since. I’ll always be grateful.”
Moore’s enduring enthusiasm for engineering is evident in his daily work. He thrives on new challenges and values the collaborative environment at Marathon. His belief in engineering’s power to improve the world remains steadfast, as does his commitment to shaping a better future through thoughtful innovation and mentorship.
“As a leader within the company, Howard has also been devoted to mentoring young engineers, encouraging them to strive for excellence,” said MPC Vice President Technology & Refining Services Jeff Sexton. “His impact on their careers is immeasurable. His story is a testament to the profound impact one engineer can have over a lifetime and beyond.
As Moore continues his journey, his legacy serves as a beacon of dedication, resilience and inspiration. He still finds interesting things to do at Marathon and plans to keep doing it for the foreseeable future.
