All the Magnums I have driven were very difficult to shift. Meaning that you really had to push or pull hard on the lever, particularly when cold. If you do lots of backing out like for packing silage or loader, the Deeres 55 or 60 series are way better.
They would have been good tractors if launched in the early 80s. WHen CaseIH finally pulled them out of the market it was too late for the technology they had.
Case only tought to make something slightly better than the Deere 50-55 series tractors when Deere was working on brand new tractors (the 8000 series).
So the early Magnum were in general quite the failure with about 10 years in production.
Going with an inline Powershift in 1987 is big design mistake. In 1990 Ford had much better design and much easier driving with the 30 series Powershift at about that time and that obsoleted instantly the Magnum (and Deere) tranny.
The cab of the Magnum went obsolete with the Deere 7000 in 1992, and the general tractor was put in the grave in 1994 with the 8000 series.
But let's say the Magnums made IH think they had something for about 5 years.
