Case-IH Magnum 7120 or International Harvester 1586?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Case-IH Magnum 7120: hydraulic flow and three-point lift. It is also ahead on forward gears and PTO speeds.
- The Case-IH Magnum 7120 suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 540 rpm.
- The Case-IH Magnum 7120 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 138% (62.6 L/min / 16.5 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 107% (3,440 kg / 7,584 lb) more three-point lift.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “the same stated configuration”. Measured figures are compared only with measured, claimed only with claimed, at the same test condition; differences within each figure’s tolerance are not called.

- The Case-IH Magnum 7120 has 107% more lift (3,440 kg / 7,584 lb) than the International Harvester 1586 (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH Magnum 7120 has 50% more forward gears (6 gears) than the International Harvester 1586 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Case-IH Magnum 7120 offers 540 rpm at the PTO, which the International Harvester 1586 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Case-IH Magnum 7120 is newer: production began 12 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, too small to call.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
