Case IH says farmers will be introduced to a "game-changing" level of tractor connectivity and remote monitoring when the AFS Connect Magnum becomes available through its dealers in Australia and New Zealand.

Visitors to last year's AgQuip field days near Gunnedah in NSW's north west got an exclusive peep at the Case IH AFS Connect Magnum 340.

The upgraded models feature a new display, operating system and receiver and redesigned cab.

"The AFS Connect portal is the key to this series of tractor, giving the customer a view of the field operations, fleet information and agronomic data from their preferred device, wherever they are, and also allowing for the sharing of this information with trusted third parties," Case IH ANZ high horsepower product manager, Alyx Selsmeyer, said.

Daniel Elias has a farm near Tamworth and trialled the Magnum for four months, putting it to the test across a range of functions.

"The level of technology the tractor had was very evident and one of the things I really liked was that while a lot of functions in previous models are factory-set, with the AFS Connect Magnum you can adjust the functions and adjust them easily. It had really good power to ground, rode really well and during cultivation it pulled nicely," Mr Elias said.

Matt Davey, who farms near Kadina in South Australia, liked what he saw too, and agreed the technology was something that set the new Magnum apart from its predecessors.

"They've done a lot of good things inside with regards to the new-look cab and I really liked the new screen," Mr Davey said.

"Its features are impressive and there are things there that will definitely benefit less experienced operators. There's so much more programming you can do in it as well, with more options, and it allows for so much customisation.

Ms Selsmeyer said being able to put the new tractor through its paces in local conditions for the past 18 months and get feedback from the people who will ultimately be relying on it to get the job done had been very valuable and helped ensure the new Magnum would fulfil expectations.

She said a significant increase in machine connectivity would provide simple solutions to common problems with remote display viewing, remote servicing from a Case IH dealer while a new AFS Connect mobile app and portal would help farmers stay connected to their tractor no matter where they were.

Increased integration and customisation meant an operator could configure the tractors electronics to simplify day-to-day tasks.

User definable short-cut keys, customisable remote paddles and ISOBUS Aux-N compatible multi-function handle and joystick all helped reduce cab clutter.

The AFS Connect Magnum will be available in 149 kilowatts (200 horsepower) to 298kW (400hp) wheeled models and 253kW (340hp), 283.6kW (380hp) and 298kW (400hp) Rowtrac models.
