edition tractors to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Magnum's introduction," said Forsythe.
Case IH is manufacturing 100 Gold Signature Edition Magnum tractors for 2008, but those are painted both red and gold. Forsythe wanted something different - and worked with his dealer, Kurt Edens from Casey Farm Pride, to specially order a one-of-a-kind, all-gold edition.
Although Forsythe mainly uses Case IH equipment on his farm, his all-gold Magnum will not join the working ranks of the primarily-red fleet used to maintain his 28,000-acre operation. Instead, it will be one of many tractors in his private collection of Case IH and Farmall equipment; which also includes the 100,000th Magnum produced and the very first tractor his dad purchased new, a 1948 Farmall H.

Noting a tradition that began with that Farmall H in 1948, Forsythe recalls, "We always had red on the farm, Farmall and Case IH are productive, dependable machines."
