Introduction
Case IH Magnum 245 Row-Crop Tractor
The Case IH Magnum 245 is a high-capacity row-crop tractor manufactured in Racine, Wisconsin, between 2008 and 2011. Designed for demanding agricultural operations, this model integrates advanced power delivery systems with a focus on operator comfort and mechanical reliability.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 6-cylinder, 24-valve turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine from CNH, featuring a 504.5 cubic inch (8.3 L) displacement. With a rated speed of 2000 RPM, the engine produces 248 horsepower (184.9 kW). The system includes a liquid-cooling circuit and a dual paper element air cleaner to ensure sustained performance under heavy field loads.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The Magnum 245 is equipped with a full powershift transmission, available in three configurations: 18 forward/4 reverse, 19 forward/4 reverse, or 23 forward/6 reverse gears. Power is distributed through a four-wheel drive system, supported by power steering and differential hydraulic wet disc brakes to ensure precise control and effective power transfer.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes a Pressure Flow Compensating (PFC) pump with a standard total flow of 44 gpm (166.5 lpm) and a system capacity of 45.5 gallons (172.2 L). The rear hitch is a Category III/IIIN type, capable of a standard lift capacity of 14,070 lbs (6382 kg). Optional configurations allow for increased hydraulic flow and higher hitch lift capacities for specialized implements.
Operator Environment
The standard cabin includes integrated heating and air conditioning. For enhanced operational comfort, an optional luxury cab package is available, featuring a leather seat, tinted rear windows, and leather-wrapped control interfaces.
