Case IH Magnum 370 CVT Tractor

To handle today's large-scale row crop implements, Case IH will expand the Magnum™ Series to include a new Magnum 370 CVT model, representing the highest horsepower mechanical front drive (MFD) tractor on the market at 419 maximum boosted engine horsepower. In addition, Case IH will offer operator-friendly Case IH Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) technology will be offered across the entire Magnum lineup, including the current 235, 260, 290, 315 and 340 models. Case IH displayed the new Magnum 370 CVT model and announced the availability of CVT across the entire Magnum range, both of which will expand the Efficient Power family in late 2012, as a sneak preview at the Farm Progress Show this year.
“The new Magnum 370 CVT will represent our most powerful MFD tractor yet, and continue to deliver the efficient power that the Magnum Series is known for,” says John Bohnker, Case IH marketing manager for Magnum tractors. “This new addition to the Magnum Series is designed to deliver power to the ground with larger row crop implements such as planters, toolbars and strip-till rigs that bring economies of scale to large-acreage operations."
The new Magnum 370 features the efficient 8.7L Case IH FPT engine, which delivers up to 419 maximum boosted engine horsepower. Its heavy-duty Surround Frame provides the framework and "working-weight" ballast needed to transfer high horsepower levels to the ground. To harness this added power, the new Magnum 370 will feature a heavier final drive and rear axle assembly. In addition, Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology allows the Magnum 370 to deliver maximum power with outstanding fuel efficiency and low operating cost.
In addition to the Magnum 370 CVT, the Case IH CVT transmission will be released as a premium transmission option for the Magnum 235, 260, 290, 315 and 340 models.
“The new CVT transmission for the Magnum 235-370 models utilizes a similar design as the CVT in the current Magnum 180-225 Series, providing excellent mechanical efficiency through a four-gear range system,” says Bohnker.
