ENGINE DETAIL
The CaseIH Magnum 250 tractor utilizes a robust 8.7L 6-cylinder FPT turbocharged diesel engine, delivering a rated power of 250hp and up to 320hp with boost, making it suitable for heavy-duty agricultural applications. Its Tier IV compliant emissions with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) help fulfill regulatory requirements while the electronic high-pressure common rail direct injection ensures efficient fuel combustion and optimal performance at the rated RPM of 2000. However, the complexity of the SCR system may necessitate regular maintenance to ensure compliance and performance, potentially increasing operational costs in strict emission zones.

CASEIH MAGNUM 250 ENGINE
The CaseIH Magnum 250 is powered by an FPT 8.7L 6-cylinder diesel engine, delivering robust performance suitable for heavy-duty applications. It features a substantial fuel tank capacity of 179 gallons (677.5L) with power shift, allowing for extended operational hours without frequent refueling, although the CVT option slightly reduces this capacity to 163 gallons (617.0L). Additionally, the DEF tank holds 26 gallons (98.4L), which supports compliance with Tier 4 emissions standards, enhancing sustainability but also requiring proper management of DEF levels to avoid operational interruptions.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The CaseIH Magnum 250 features a 19-speed full power shift transmission and an 18-speed continuously variable transmission (CVT), offering flexibility in power management and efficient fuel consumption. The full power shift provides quick gear changes under load, while the CVT ensures smooth acceleration without fixed gear steps, ideal for varying field conditions. However, the complexity of these transmission systems may present challenges in maintenance and repair compared to simpler transmission designs.
| Description | 19-speed full power shift 18-speed full power shift continuously variable transmission (CVT) |
TRANSMISSION 1
The CaseIH Magnum 250 features a full power shift transmission with 19 forward and 4 reverse gears, allowing for smooth power transfer and enhanced operator control across various farming scenarios. This transmission configuration is advantageous for tasks requiring precise speed adjustments, such as tillage or planting, while the robust gear range can handle diverse terrain and load conditions. However, operators may experience a steeper learning curve when navigating the full power shift system compared to basic mechanical transmissions.

| Gears | 19 forward and 4 reverse |
TRANSMISSION 2
The CaseIH Magnum 250 features a full power shift transmission, offering seamless gear transitions across its 18 forward and 4 reverse speeds, which enhances productivity in diverse agricultural tasks. The wide range of gears allows for optimal speed adjustments, making it versatile for various field conditions, though it requires careful handling to maximize fuel efficiency and reduce wear. In scenarios such as tillage or transport, the shift system can improve operator comfort and reduce fatigue, but operators may need training to leverage the transmission capabilities effectively.

| Gears | 18 forward and 4 reverse |
TRANSMISSION 3
The CaseIH Magnum 250 features a continuously variable transmission (CVT), allowing for seamless gear shifts and optimal power delivery across a wide range of operating conditions. Its infinite gear selection enhances fuel efficiency and adaptability in various agricultural tasks, such as tillage or transport. However, reliance on electronic systems for control may pose a challenge in harsh environments where technology might be prone to failure.
