Case IH Magnum 225-335

The new‐generation Magnums were introduced at the end of 2005. They gained the New Holland T8000 series as a sister model, but as with their predecessors there were still significant differences between the two lines. The Magnum’s engine remained mounted high over the front axle and was linked to the transmission by an intermediate driveshaft. Unlike the NH version, the engines in the larger models had grown to 9.0 liters. These were 4-valve Cummins engines, now fitted with common‐rail injection.

The transmission was an 18+4-speed full powershift, which in Europe was typically supplemented by an overdrive gear that—for the first time—enabled the Magnum to reach a top speed of 50 km/h. As an option, a six-speed creeper gearbox was available. The new transmission automation (APM) selected the appropriate gear and engine speed based on the travel speed set by the operator’s lever and the power demand. The hydraulic system’s variable-displacement pump could be specified for 166 l/min, 224 l/min or, with a dual pump, 284 l/min. Hydraulic front‐axle suspension was offered as an option; cab suspension was not available. Almost all controls were concentrated on the armrest, and the gauges were mounted on the A-pillar. The cab noise level was 73 dB.
