RACINE, Wis. (RFD-TV) — Case IH is marking America’s 250th anniversary with two one-of-a-kind Magnum tractors that are heading to auction.
Case IH North America Vice President Kurt Coffey joined us on Thursday’s Market Day Report to discuss the Heartland and Providence Magnums, designed to celebrate American agriculture’s past and future.
The Heartland Magnum has already had a memorable year, making appearances at the White House and USDA headquarters, where Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins took it for a drive.
Both tractors were built in Racine and feature custom patriotic paint schemes. Bidding is open through November 5, with net proceeds going to the National FFA Organization to support future farmers.
