Introduction
Case IH Magnum 280 Row-Crop Tractor
The Case IH Magnum 280 is a high-horsepower row-crop tractor produced in Racine, Wisconsin. It is designed for heavy-duty agricultural applications, balancing significant traction capabilities with high-precision control systems.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an 8.7-liter, 6-cylinder, 24-valve diesel engine equipped with a wastegate turbocharger. It features an electronic high-pressure common rail direct injection system and utilizes selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to meet Tier IV emission standards. The engine provides a rated power of 280 hp (208.8 kW) and a maximum power of 315 hp (234.9 kW) with boost.

The Magnum 280 offers three transmission configurations: a 19-speed full power shift, an 18-speed full power shift, or a continuously variable transmission (CVT) providing infinite speed control. The drivetrain features a four-wheel-drive system with a suspended front axle, wet disc brakes, and inboard planetary final drives for durability under load.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes a variable displacement pressure-flow compensating (PFC) pump with a standard flow rate of 44 gpm (166.5 lpm), with optional higher flow configurations available. The rear hitch is a Category III/IIIN type with electronic lower link draft sensing, capable of lifting up to 12,900 lbs (5,851 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point.
