Case Construction Equipment has released an all-new "Heavy Metal" Hetfield Limited Edition TV450B compact track loader ready to roar onto job sites.

Based on its compact track loader designed for Metallica frontman James Hetfield, Case's exclusive release of just 25 Heavy Metal machines features a design that celebrates the fusion of meticulous craftsmanship and heavy metal spirit.

"The Hetfield Limited Edition TV450B compact track loader is a showcase machine that's outfitted to be as distinctive as James Hetfield's legendary voice," said Terry Dolan, head of CNH Construction Brands, North America. "And, just like his unique ability to bring both force and finesse to every riff, this special edition CTL brings power and precision to the job site — in signature fashion — so operators can be more productive and crews can be more competitive."

Looks That Scream Power

A custom wrap package modeled after one of Hetfield's famous guitars brings heavy metal to life over the Hetfield Limited Edition TV450B's gray base paint. The sides and back of the machine showcase exterior decals and badging that include a font reminiscent of Metallica's iconic graphics and a skull with wings inspired by one of Hetfield's tattoos.

On the rear grill, a Hetfield decal is overlaid on a laser-cut steel nameplate secured with anti-tamper fasteners. The cab's interior features a distinctive guitar-shaped, sequentially numbered serial badge and a Hetfield/Case decal on the seat.

Unleash the Productivity Beast

Loaded with the same features as the Case TV450B, the Hetfield Limited Edition TV450B is a workhorse with a 90 hp engine, 4,500 lb. operating capacity and low ground pressure, allowing operators to lift more without disturbing existing turf. The machine is loaded with high-flow hydraulics so operators can easily power demanding attachments, such as cold planers, mulching heads and stump grinders.

Its operator-first design includes a roomy cab and simple controls, so operators can focus on handling tough construction, landscaping or agriculture jobs with less fatigue and more precision. This special edition TV450B also comes equipped with Case EZ Trac, which helps extend track life and offers superior traction, enhanced stability and greater productivity through a rigid-mounted undercarriage with rollers on pivoting bogeys, according to Case.

The Hetfield Limited Edition TV450B is available to qualified buyers on a first-come, first-served basis. Customers interested in purchasing this compact track loader can submit a request by visiting www.CaseCE.com/Hetfield.

In addition, customers can purchase exclusive merchandise through the Case online store at www.CaseCE.com/HetfieldMerch.

Case will add a diecast version of the Hetfield Limited Edition TV450B compact track loader to its iconic collectibles line in the fall of 2025.
