Case IH Magnum 7110-7140

After the merger of Case and IH, the first new model was the Magnum. The series, comprising four models, was introduced in spring 1987, production began in November 1987, and tractors were available in Europe starting from 1989. Magnums were manufactured in Racine, Wisconsin. All models were equipped with an 8.3-liter six-cylinder engine developed in cooperation between Case IH and Cummins. Except for the smallest model, the Magnum featured a viscous fan, and the largest model had an intercooler. In the 7130 and 7140 models, the maximum power at 1900-2000 rpm was higher than the nominal power (213/246 hp). The transmission was an 18-speed full powershift. Also, the reverse gear could be engaged without using the clutch.

The noise level inside the Silent Guard II cab was 73 dB. All controls were centralized on the right side. At that time, the pillar exhaust pipe was a rather new invention. The hood and side panels were made of fiberglass. The Magnums had an electric three-point hitch with a lifting capacity ranging from 6650 to 7130 kg. The hydraulic system was closed. As standard equipment, there was an onboard computer but without traction control.

The Magnum was Case’s first tractor originally designed as four-wheel drive (excluding large tractors). Following American practice, there were also rear-wheel-drive versions of the Magnum, but only four-wheel drives were brought to Europe. In 1991, the lineup was complemented by the 250-horsepower 7150 equipped with a wastegate turbo, which was not imported to Europe.
