Engine
The standard power unit of the Magnum 340 model tractor is a six-cylinder 340-horsepower FPT Cursor 9 Tier II diesel engine with a volume of 8.7 liters. In Power BOOST mode, power can be increased to 389 hp.
The stability of the torque indicator of 1671 Nm with a 40% reserve is facilitated by turbocharging with an integrated compressed air cooling circuit, as well as a High Pressure Common Rail fuel system with electronic injection control. The autonomy of the tractor unit in remote areas is ensured by a fuel tank with a capacity of 765 liters.
Device
The Magnum tractor has an original semi-frame body design, which is based on wheels. The machine is equipped with a proprietary FullPowerShift TM transmission and a multi-speed gearbox, which allows the unit to be used at various speeds. To aggregate the tractor with a large amount of agricultural equipment, its design includes components such as a remote hydraulic system and a PTO capable of operating at two speeds: 540 and 1000 rpm. This tractor can be equipped with twin tires and ballast weights, which allow the machine to be perfectly balanced when working on the most difficult terrain.

Chassis
The capabilities of the all-wheel drive chassis are most effectively realized using a dual-mode electronic connection of the front axle, as well as manual or automatic locking of the rear differential mechanism.
The range of changes in the track of the rear and front wheels is 1,560-2,256 and 1,470-2,294 m, respectively. The adjustment is made when the tractor is operating between rows or when operating on steep terrain.

Advantages and disadvantages
The entire Case IH tractor range is characterized by high reliability, efficiency and durability when operating in difficult and even extreme conditions.
- The Magnum 340 model is compatible with mounted and trailed units from other manufacturers, including those that have been discontinued for a long time.
- The high level of cabin comfort allows the driver to maintain productivity during the entire work shift.
A characteristic disadvantage of elite tractor equipment is its high cost, which is largely inaccessible to small and even medium-sized farm businesses.
Many domestic buyers reproach manufacturers for the lack of information on testing and repairing computer equipment. A significant part of the downtime of expensive machines is a consequence of failures and glitches of digital equipment, which are inevitable in the absence of qualified maintenance.
Position on the agricultural equipment market
The multi-purpose multifunctional tractor Case Magnum 340 without operating hours is offered to be purchased at prices as of the end of 2022, starting at 13 million rubles.
Effective operation of the energy-rich Magnum 340 tractor requires the use of wide-cut agricultural implements at high speeds, which reduces the need to attract additional equipment and working personnel, and reduces the time of agricultural operations.
According to expert reviews, an additional economic effect is provided by the use of energy and resource-saving technologies in the tractor.
Owner reviews
Two Magnum 340 tractors manufactured by Case IH, a company renowned for the quality of its products, were purchased to update the agricultural company’s fleet in the winter of the year before last 2015. Over the past time, new equipment has largely compensated for the invested funds by saving working time and fuel and lubricants, and the absence of forced downtime. Significant concerns are caused by the lack of specialists in servicing computer and other electronic equipment, the relatively poor range of spare parts, as well as the inertia of service departments. Paul
Buying a used Magnum 340 cost me 55 thousand euros. The car is, in principle, reliable, and most importantly economical in terms of fuel consumption. When plowing, one Magnum successfully replaces two tractors, the tracked T-75 and the wheeled station wagon MTZ-82K, with 23% fuel economy. Vladimir Viktorovich

The first MAGNUM tractor was released in 1987, during which time more than 100,000 units of equipment were sold. With each new year, Magnum Case tractor models become more powerful, productive, efficient and comfortable.
MAGNUM tractor engine provides high torque at low and medium speeds. These characteristics are excellent for working in fields with difficult conditions. Using mid/low engine and transmission speeds improves fuel efficiency. For the '09 model year, standard on all MAGNUM tractors is the Diesel Saver™ APM (Automatic Performance Management) system.
The presence of this system allows communication between the engine and transmission and creates optimal characteristics to match engine speed, road speed and load. The result is fuel savings of up to 25% and speed optimization for similar operations. The series includes 5 models of tractors with power from 225 to 335 hp.
All MAGNUM are equipped with 6-cylinder engines with turbocharging and Common Rail electronic injection, which have the highest increase in power and torque among analogues. Tractors of this series quickly pay for themselves, as they achieve an optimal price-quality ratio, high productivity, as well as a high residual value.

Features of operation
All Case equipment is distinguished by the highest quality, the use of innovative technologies in manufacturing, modern composite materials, a large margin of strength and reliability.
Basically, the efficiency and productivity of CASE IH tractors is ensured by service electronics, which constantly monitors all operating processes of the machine and the execution of production tasks.
A comfortable cabin with panoramic glazing, an LCD display, ergonomic placement of controls - for these indicators, Case tractors are considered the best.
Rational access to all components and systems of machines significantly reduces the duration of maintenance and service.
The tractor's capabilities are expanded due to the universal hitch mechanism and drawbar of categories I-II.
Additional connection of hydraulic outlets on the front and rear hitch units is possible.
Service
According to reviews from owners, the machines are very reliable in operation; new tractors can operate without repair for several years.
Review
The Case company was founded in 1842 and produced threshers, but received official recognition as a manufacturer of tractors only in 1905, when the world saw a unit with an internal combustion engine.
In order to make the brand more recognizable, the company's management decided to use red as the leading color. The development of production has kept pace with the times, so we can say with confidence that Case tractors are one of the most modern and modernized. Thanks to the use of advanced technologies throughout the company's existence, the products have gained popularity among consumers. The rapid growth of the company has been traced throughout all the years of its existence, without stopping there, but expanding its directions.
The company achieved a noticeable expansion of its dealer network by the end of the 80s, when the entire European part of the world was interested in the problems of agricultural mechanization. A wide range of models allows you to purchase a Case tractor for any type of work, and their great advantage is that you can connect various attachments to it and this only increases its functionality.
Tractors are divided into series, each of which differs in engine power and other technical characteristics. The main purpose is to use it in agriculture, since the power unit allows you to process large areas of fields.
Features of operation
The manufacturer claims that all manufactured products are of high quality and, thanks to the use of the latest technologies, can easily cope with any tasks. High efficiency is achieved through sophisticated electronic systems that allow operation control.
Judging by the reviews of owners who actively use Case equipment, the tractors are distinguished by their quality and reliability, so they operate without repair for the first few years. However, to achieve this result, it is necessary to monitor the regularity and quality of maintenance. Tractors run on high quality diesel fuel, and CI-4 AKCELA MS1121 should be used as engine oil.
A huge advantage of new tractors is that they go on sale with a running-in run-in. Also, the enterprise calibrates and tests all electronic systems before sending them to the dealer network.
Canning is carried out according to all the rules described in the operating instructions. First, the tractor is washed, dried, and then all parts and mechanisms are wiped with an oil-soaked rag. The oil is drained and the contacts on the spark plugs are disconnected. After all procedures, the tractor is placed in a dry place and covered with a cover.
