ENGINE DETAIL

The CaseIH Magnum 240 features a robust 6.7L FPT turbocharged diesel engine with a rated power output of 240hp and a maximum of 270hp, providing excellent performance for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. Its Tier 4 emissions compliance with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) ensures lower emissions, but may require regular SCR fluid top-ups, presenting a maintenance consideration. The electronic high-pressure common rail direct injection enhances fuel efficiency and power delivery, making it ideal for demanding applications in diverse farming scenarios.

CASEIH MAGNUM 240 ENGINE

The CaseIH Magnum 240 is powered by a robust FPT 6.7L 6-cylinder diesel engine, delivering strong torque and fuel efficiency suitable for heavy agricultural tasks. With a 160-gallon fuel tank and a 17.5-gallon DEF capacity, it offers extended operational range, minimizing downtime during long fieldwork sessions. However, managing diesel and DEF consumption is crucial to prevent engine derating, particularly in environments with stringent emission standards.

Fuel tank 160gal / 605.6L
Exhaust fluid (DEF) 17.5gal / 66.2L

TRANSMISSION

The CaseIH Magnum 240 features a continuously variable transmission (CVT), providing seamless gear transitions and optimizing engine performance across a wide range of speeds. The infinite forward and reverse gears enhance maneuverability, making it advantageous for tasks requiring precision, such as tillage and loading operations. However, operators may need time to adapt to the operation of CVT systems if they are accustomed to traditional gear transmissions.

Gears infinite forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The CaseIH Magnum 240 features a 4x4 MFWD chassis with inboard planetary final drives, providing enhanced traction and stability for demanding field conditions. Its hydraulic wet disc brakes improve stopping power and durability, while the continuously variable transmission (CVT) offers smooth operation and optimal power delivery for various tasks. The standard Magnum cab includes air-conditioning, with optional cab suspension for increased comfort during long hours in the field, making it well-suited for extensive agricultural operations.
