The register holds 4 versions rated at 147.1 to 211.1 kW (200 to 287 hp), with six-cylinder engines of a uniform 8,268 cm³. Weights range from 9,122 to 11,090 kg, with a gross vehicle weight of up to 14,000 kg. Lengths fall between 5,690 and 5,780 mm, widths between 2,585 and 3,048 mm and heights between 3,150 and 3,240 mm; engine speed is 2,000 rpm.

As four-wheel-drive standard tractors, the MX Magnum range covered the upper power segment for large arable farms, from heavy tillage to haulage work requiring high draft forces. It competed with comparable large tractors from John Deere and New Holland in the same power class.

When buying used, this class calls for checking the engine and injection system, clutch and gearbox, and the four-wheel steering and hydraulic system. Rust on mudguards, cab frame and attachment points, and the condition of the wide tyres, are further checkpoints; spare parts are readily available through the Case IH dealer network.

What to check before buying

Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
