Case IH MAGNUM MX-Baureihe

To place the MX models it helps to look back. The Magnum was presented in 1987 as successor to the International 50, with series production from 1988. The first 7100 range covered the 7110 to 7140 with a turbocharged six-cylinder of 8.3 litres and 155 to 230 hp rated output. In 1997 it became the 7200 range, closed at the top by the 7250.

The MX models carry their power in the name more directly than their predecessors: an MX 180 denotes the 180 hp class, an MX 240 correspondingly higher. That makes comparison within the range easier than with the four-digit numbers of the 7100 and 7200.

For the used market the long line means above all one thing: a Magnum is a well-known machine with a long parts history. Anyone examining an MX is examining a design that had already been in the field for over a decade by then — with everything that implies in experience and in wear.

With rated outputs from 133.9 to 205.2 kW, the MX Magnum models fell within ISO 730 Category III for the rear three-point hitch, with a standard dual-speed power take-off at 540 and 1,000 revolutions per minute for heavy implements.
