The introduction of the Case IH Magnum tractor in 1987 marked a major milestone. The 1988 model year Magnum tractor was the first designed and produced after the birth of Case IH - the result of J.I. Case and International Harvester coming together. Since then, Case IH Magnum Series tractors have delivered producer-driven, proven technology that's helped producers "Be Ready" for 25 years.

"The Magnum Series tractor has set the industry standard as the most powerful and productive row-crop tractor," says Dan Klein, Case IH Marketing Manager for Magnum tractors. "These tractors introduced the red paint that has become the signature of the Case IH brand. Their cab-forward design and fully integrated mechanical front-wheel drive (MFD) were examples of International Harvester's reputation of innovative leadership. It let customers know that this new company was off to the right start."

Twenty-five years later, Magnum tractors are used in some of the most demanding agricultural applications worldwide. They have built a legacy for exceptional performance, reliability and durability that has been built on customers' needs.

"Customer input has been the key ingredient to the successful design of Magnum tractors," says Klein. "Producers told us they want a tractor with more power to handle demanding tasks at higher speeds, with better fuel efficiency - while maintaining operator comfort."

Case IH engineers have delivered on customer requests, continuously improving and upgrading the Magnum tractor to keep pace with ever-growing productivity needs. Today's Magnum tractor line-up offers power, an improved operator environment and outstanding fuel efficiency. Simple, robust designs drive machine reliability.
