Magnum Series
Magnum tractors are Case IH high-horsepower row crop platforms built for power, precision technology integration, and long-hour field durability. The series includes wheeled and Rowtrac configurations across major horsepower steps.
High Horsepower Row-Crop Range
Case IH lists Magnum at 200–405 HP with 6.7 L and 8.7 L FPT engines, giving broad coverage from upper mixed-farm applications to intensive row-crop workloads. Published model highlights include Magnum 295 at 325 peak horsepower and Magnum 405 with 405 non-boosted HP and 352 PTO HP. This range allows one family to serve different tillage, planting, and high-drawbar operations while maintaining consistent controls, cab architecture, and integrated precision environment across model steps.
- •Series horsepower range: 200–405 HP
- •Engine options: 6.7 L and 8.7 L FPT
- •Magnum 295 peak horsepower: 325
- •Magnum 405: 405 HP (non-boosted), 352 PTO HP
Transmission and Roading Flexibility
Magnum transmission options include PowerDrive powershift and CVXDrive CVT, allowing buyers to match driveline behavior to field and transport demands. Case IH specifies full powershift architectures and CVXDrive speed control from very low creep rates up to road speeds near 30 mph. This supports high-load field pulls, controlled operation during precision tasks, and efficient movement between fields. The lineup's common control logic reduces operator transition time even as farms mix transmission types across different Magnum units.
- •Transmission options: PowerDrive or CVXDrive
- •PowerDrive includes 19- or 21-speed full powershift variants
- •CVXDrive supports speeds up to about 30 mph
- •Very low-speed precision operation supported by CVX architecture
Hydraulic and Hitch Force
Magnum hydraulic and hitch systems are built for heavy implement classes. Case IH publishes up to 86 gpm hydraulic flow and rear hitch lift capacity up to 19,900 lb, with optional front hitch capacity up to 9,000 lb on larger models. This specification envelope supports large planters, tillage tools, and high-demand hydraulic implements while preserving in-cab control convenience. Multiple remote configurations allow operators to tailor valve count to machine duty, reducing compromise when one tractor handles diverse seasonal workloads.
- •Maximum hydraulic flow: up to 86 gpm
- •Rear hitch lift capacity: up to 19,900 lb
- •Front hitch lift capacity: up to 9,000 lb (available on larger models)
- •Remote valve options include 4, 5, or 6 remotes
Warranty and Long-Season Uptime
Case IH positions Magnum for high annual hour use with both warranty support and extended maintenance intervals. The series is published with a 3-year, 2,000-hour factory warranty, plus 600-hour oil-change intervals noted in maintenance features. Ground-level fluid checkpoints and remote support tooling are also highlighted to keep machines in the field during critical windows. For producers managing narrow planting and harvest timelines, this service structure is designed to lower interruption risk and simplify planned maintenance execution.
- •Factory warranty: 3 years / 2,000 hours
- •Oil-change interval highlighted: 600 hours
- •Ground-level fluid checks from single location
- •Dealer remote support and diagnostics emphasized
