Introduction
Case IH Magnum 235 Row-Crop Tractor
The Case IH Magnum 235 is a high-horsepower row-crop tractor manufactured in Racine, Wisconsin, between 2011 and 2013. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, it combines robust mechanical architecture with a high-capacity hydraulic system to handle demanding field tasks.
Engine and Power
The tractor is powered by an FPT 6-cylinder, 24-valve turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 8.7 liters (531 cubic inches). It achieves a rated power of 235 hp (175.2 kW) at 2000 RPM, with a maximum gross power output of 268 hp (199.8 kW). Compliance with Tier 4A emission standards is managed through Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology.
Transmission Options
The Magnum 235 offers significant drivetrain flexibility. Operators can choose between full power shift transmissions—configured with 18 or 19 forward speeds—or a 23-speed creeper variant for low-speed precision work. Additionally, a continuously variable transmission (CVT) is available, providing infinite forward and reverse speeds for optimized efficiency across varying load conditions.
Hydraulics and Hitch Capacity
The hydraulic system utilizes a pressure-flow compensating design, delivering a standard total flow of 44 gpm (166.5 lpm), with optional configurations reaching up to 75 gpm (283.9 lpm). The tractor is equipped with 4 to 6 rear valves. Rear hitch lift capacity ranges from 12,800 lbs to 16,375 lbs depending on the specific link configuration, while an optional front hitch provides an additional 9,426 lbs of lift capacity.
Mechanical Construction and Operator Environment
Built with a 120-inch wheelbase and a weight of 27,180 lbs, the chassis is engineered for traction and stability in four-wheel-drive applications. The operator station features the standard Magnum Surveyor cab, which can be upgraded with optional cab suspension to mitigate vibration during long operational cycles.
Conclusion
The Case IH Magnum 235 is a versatile, high-performance machine suitable for heavy-duty row-crop applications. Its combination of multiple transmission choices, advanced hydraulic capacity, and high-torque engine makes it a reliable asset for professional agricultural operations requiring consistent power and implement versatility.
