You not only have to be “muscular” but you really need to look good out in the field. That’s what you’ll be in a Case IH Magnum.
For the first time in the company’s history, Case IH has been honored with a prestigious Good Design™ Award from The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design. The Case IH Magnum tractor was voted one of the winning designs in the transportation category.
Other winners in the category include the NASA Lunar Lander, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Spider, the BMW F8005 Motorcycle, the BMW Z4 Coupe, and the Camcopter® S-100 UAV Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.
“We were judged against some of the best transportation companies in the world — and out of this world, when you factor in NASA,” says Mike Bunnell, one of the company’s tractor vehicle engineers who designed the next generation Case IH Magnum tractors. “That’s pretty impressive competition.”
Bunnell says the Magnum won the award because “it successfully combines style and extreme functionality. It’s stylish and looks great, but it’s also a rugged, muscular tractor,” he adds. “So the design has to integrate a lot of necessary functions, such as air flow, cooling, high visibility and operator comfort, to name just a few. Based on what our customers are telling us — coupled with this renowned Good Design award — we succeeded.”
