When Case-IH launched its new MX Magnum series of tractors in 1997 it claimed it was redefining the broadacre tractor market. Its success can only be measured by its market place acceptance (that is, sales). For the past five years the range of fivemodels with maximum engine power ratings from 145 to 224 kilowatt (194 to 301 horse power) has been the nation's top selling broadacre row-crop tractor range, commanding 35 percent to 40 percent market share. Firstly, to clear any confusion or misconceptions, the MX Magnum range 'sits' in the Case-IH product line following the 'merging' of the Case and New Holland companies to form Case New Holland Global (CNH Global). As a condition of the merger, the European Union (EU) insisted that Case divest itself of at least one of its European plants so that an 'unfair competitive situation' for the new company wasn't created.
