Case Magnum 7200 series tractor

[Pilatus]

Was the above tractor a very reliable tractor when it got pass 5000hrs +.?

 

[theboytheboy]

In my opinion yes

 

[Gapples]

Yes, they are exceptionally reliable.
5000 hours is just run in for a well maintained Magnum.

 

[essexpete]

The Magnum never seemed very well liked in this area. Not sure why.

Good tractor for cultivation work thats what they were built for . Not so good as a haulage tractor . Built like a brick shithouse . The cab is ok nothing like modern tractors but it has all u need.

Nostalga has taken over with a lot of these old tractors , 7250 ,on big tyres and ballasted up to with in 5% of reccomendations ,but most where tuned up a bit , front axle would give abit of trouble , if going for one would have a 40 pro , most breeds had their troubles in the day ,but most have forgotton ,because of rose tinted spectacles
Would still have another 71 /72 40

I've run a couple on chaser bins. I liked them.

Have pleasure of leading 4or5 trailer loads of muck with 7220 every Thursday, it's not new it's not modern but as I sit in that arm chair and see the square bonnet, I smile, I hear that thirsty engine making its special noise, I smile. Visibility is not amazing, wing mirrors just for show. Not an ideal haulage tractor but a pleasure. Spends a lot of its time on slurry tanker. Hand on power shift watching the gear number change in the little none neon none led screen. Radio has proper buttons to press. But back window, you can tell they American built for the little it opens. Think it has 7800 ish hrs on. But seem to remember one on feeder wagon on YouTube with plus 40000 hrs. But I still smile when I hear my b250 purr into action. Magnum lot of metal for money.

used to have a 7210 loved it turning lock was crap on it but pulled well
only thing had to do was a front seal on the axle in 4000 hours a bit dated now but most tractors from that era are
hell of a good old bus to be fair would still like to have it for tillage work

 

[theboytheboy]

You can adjust the turning lock a bit.....its still not that agile though

Just sold my 7210, it did 20,000 hours and cost me 25 pence an hour to own.Best tractor we have had

I've had a bit to do with them over the years, the one in the pic (with the hood on) had done 19,000hrs - its an 8940 or 7240 PRO and was one of hundreds sold in to Uzbekistan

Like all machines they had their issues, alternators would fail, shift cables seized up, gas accumulator diaphragms would split, various sensors, cab power relays, sensing pins, hydraulic top covers, front axles would leak oil for a pastime, master clutch baskets would wear the snap-ring grooves out are a few things that come to mind but given the volumes sold it kind of magnified issues especially as in their early days they worked 4 - 5,000hrs a year.

What type of farming do they do in Uzbekistan?

What type of farming do they do in Uzbekistan?

Primarily its wheat, cotton and rice......a lot of it is flood irrigated through a network of canals from Sirdarya and Amu Darya rivers

 

[deleted user 837354]

Hell of a machine just not ideal for transport work. A proper draft machine.
