Case IH – other models: the collective page of tractors outside the named ranges, from the IH heritage (1056 XL, 1455 XL) through the 4200, 5100 and CS series to Farmall, Maxxum, Puma, Magnum and Steiger Quadtrac
This page gathers the Case IH tractors the register could not assign to a named range – the brand that emerged in 1985 when Tenneco bought the farm-equipment division of International Harvester and merged it with J.I. Case of Racine. The tractors therefore carry several origins: the IH 56 and 55 series from Neuss and Doncaster (1056 XL, 1455 XL, 1255) with the XL cab, the 4200 and 5100 (Maxxum) series from Neuss and Racine of the 1990s, the Steyr relatives CS and CVX after the merger into CNH in 1999, and today's Farmall (compact and utility tractors), Maxxum, Puma, Magnum and Steiger ranges, whose number gives the hp class – Puma 195 about 195 hp, Magnum 235 235 hp, Steiger 535 535 hp – and whose suffixes CVX, Quadtrac, Accusteer and Heavy-Duty mark the stepless transmission, the four-track undercarriage and chassis versions. The engines are IH's own in the old, Perkins in the small, FPT (NEF and Cursor) in the medium and big and Cummins in the oldest Steigers.

The register lists here 275 versions with 17 to 398.9 kW from three- to six-cylinders of 2,539 to 14,994 cm³, PTO outputs from 45 to 473 hp, lift capacities from 742 to 19,620 kg, unladen weights from 2,115 to 24,494 kg, lengths from 3,390 to 6,040 mm and widths from 1,347 to 3,048 mm.
Case IH is New Holland's red sister in the CNH group, number two behind John Deere in North America and, with the Quadtrac, the inventor of the four-track big tractor; the Maxxum and Puma ranges are technically the twins of the Steyr Profi and CVT from St. Valentin.
On used tractors, clutch, transmission and XL cab count on the IH heirs, operating hours, powershift or CVX transmission, front-axle suspension and electronics on the Maxxum and Puma, engine, transmission and tyres or tracks on the Magnum and Steiger; parts run through CNH.

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.
- 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.
