When its time to plant or harvest, you cant wait for ideal conditions. At
Case IH, we know that timing is everything. Thats why the new Magnum
Rowtrac series tractor gives you optimum power, traction, and control to
tackle the most adverse conditions. The combination of wheels and tracks
provides four points of ground contact, reducing compaction and berming
while increasing flotation and tractive power. Tire options that fit your row
width and soil type and an oscillating five-axle, rear-track design keep power
on the ground, even through the tightest turns. Plus, the unique four-range CVT
maximizes available power and increases mechanical efficiency. Experience
a machine that handles like a wheeled tractor but floats like a track. To learn
more, visit your Case IH dealer or go to caseih.com/magnum-rowtrac.
