All 2019 Magnum tractors include a three-year, 2,000-hour factory warranty. e new program helps manage cost of ownership and provides peace of mind. All Magnum tractors come with factory-fit telematics and a one-year advanced subscription to Case IH Advanced Farming Systems (AFS) Connect. AFS Connect is the control center for all tractor-to-cloud- based information transfer and management. Magnum Rowtrac tractors offer producers a way to address the challenges of traction-limited soils and adverse planting and tillage conditions, all while maintaining the best agronomics possible. For 2019, a new 21-inch track option has been added to maximize flotation and minimize plant root zone interference, especially in crops planted on beds with 38- and 36- inch row spacing. All 2019 Magnum tractors are fit with track options that allow a maximum travel speed of 25 miles per hour for all track widths. l NEW HOLLAND AGRICULTURE www.agriculture1.newholland.com T7 LONG WHEEL BASE SERIES New Holland Agriculture introduces a major upgrade to the T7 Long Wheel Base (LWB) range in the shape of a new suspended front axle. e combination of new axle geometry, low-friction hub bearings and a new hydraulic steering unit delivers superb feedback and control to the driver. e self-centering characteristic designed into the axle reduces steering corrections to a minimum, especially at high speed. e tractor's front suspension has also undergone a major update. To provide improved performance over the wide variation of front axle loads encountered on a tractor, a new control valve with dual accumulators has been added. e T7 LWB utilizes a suspension concept known as Skyhook. is active system aims to keep the tractor in a level condition regardless of external forces. Such as an implement being raised or lowered, or the tractor braking or accelerating, actions where weight can be transferred on and off the front axle causing instability. e upgraded T7 goes as far as weighing the rear implement to determine how stiff to make the suspension to reduce the risk of excessive suspension travel at high speed. is advanced control results in a very stable vehicle.
