Case IH Magnum 290 Row-Crop Tractor

The Case IH Magnum 290 is a high-horsepower row-crop tractor produced between 2011 and 2013 at the Case IH facility in Racine, Wisconsin. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, this machine combines heavy-duty mechanical components with advanced powertrain technology to handle demanding field tasks.

Engine and Emissions

The tractor is powered by an 8.7-liter (531 ci) FPT 6-cylinder, 24-valve turbocharged diesel engine. It features liquid cooling and utilizes Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology to meet Tier 4A emission standards. The engine is rated at 284 hp (211.8 kW) at 2000 RPM, with a maximum power output of 317 hp (236.4 kW).

Transmission and Drivetrain

The Magnum 290 offers multiple transmission configurations to suit different operational requirements. Available options include an 18-speed or 19-speed full power shift transmission, a 23-speed creeper transmission, and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that provides infinite speed selection. All models are equipped with a four-wheel-drive system and power steering.

Hydraulics and Hitch

The hydraulic system utilizes a pressure-flow compensating design with a standard total flow of 44 gpm (166.5 lpm), which can be upgraded to an optional 75 gpm (283.9 lpm). The rear hitch is a 3/3N category system with a maximum rear lift capacity of up to 19,400 lbs (8,799 kg) depending on the link configuration. An optional front hitch with a capacity of 9,426 lbs (4,275 kg) is also available.
