Combine control arm - Armrest control panel for CaseIH combine. This was done several years ago and used then-current production mechanical/electrical switches and components such as the joystick.

This Alias model was intended as the design intent for new right-hand consoles throughout the product line.

No, it does not really float in the air, but that would resolve some problems of range of position and adjustment.

Thank you for the nice comments Alberto.
Alberto Seco Oct 15, 2011

Congratulations! I do love the rear fenders and how you closed the cab. It seems to be formerly designed for this wheeled version instead of the crawler ones (MT700 and MT800).
Alberto Seco Oct 15, 2011

It was a shame not to see this design under the McCormick MTX. Unlucky brand...
Alberto Seco Oct 15, 2011

Brilliant design! As usual on all of the Magnum Series.
Jonathan Eziquiel-Shriro Mar 22, 2011

You're welcome. Just brought the old mountain bike in for a sorely needed tune today! Time to get back on the saddle.
Douglas Montgomery Mar 22, 2011

Thanks for the comment Jonathan. Hey, I see we're in the same area. Looks like you are a cyclist as well!
Jonathan Eziquiel-Shriro Mar 22, 2011

This is pretty cool stuff. The model is excellent!

Narrow Orchard...I remember, I had made many sketches, solutions about the dashboard design...May be work together in another project, Thanks and best wishes you too...
Douglas Montgomery Sep 02, 2009

Thanks Onur. That would be the same line as this hood. This was Class 3 compact version if memory serves. I think we collaborated with your group on a hood for JX series value product as well? Best wishes to you.
Onur ERYIGIT Sep 02, 2009

nice shapes, we had designed backhood of the garden type about a year ago in Turkey, It was really nice project...
Jeff Smith Jan 24, 2009

Right on!
Douglas Montgomery Jan 14, 2009

The design was originally intended to have two integrated, composite light housings, a la New Holland, in the front but in development was cost reduced to the 6 discreet, individually mounted, off-the-shelf headlights. Still would have worked out pretty well though. Ultimately, the concept was not adopted by McCormick and they have a different design dubbed 'superman' I think.

This was always a genesis product for me, it made me realise just how cool ag machines could look. A winner from the start Doug.
Gary Major Feb 15, 2008

Absolutely fantastic form study, superbly detailed and beautifully rendered. The body of work you did for NH completely re-defined their form language and inspired a whole bunch of Industrial Designers to try harder.
Gary Major Jun 21, 2007

Extremely clean design and beautifully rendered. Cool work Doug.
Mike Turner Jun 21, 2007

- I bet that floor took aboslutely ages to render!! Great design, cool image. 10/10! Thanks for sharing it with the Front-Line Industrial Design Group.
Mike Turner Jun 21, 2007

Very nice. Very simple, ergonomically proven form enhanced by really striking colour split and pallette. Top work, Doug! - thanks for sharing it with the Front-Line Industrial Design Group.
Douglas Montgomery Jun 03, 2007

Thanks for the nice comments gentlemen. I can't take that much credit for this machine. I designed the fenders and did some detailing on the cab body panels. My nephew Rob did the bulk of the cab panel modeling work. The hood design of the Challenger series was designed years ago by Russ Strong. These big 4WD machines are a commanding presence aren't they? Even more so in person! Fun stuff.

GRRR!! Doug! It strikes me you're the author of just about EVERYTHING in off-highway that I love! Superb work - again. Thanks for sharing it with the Front-Line Group. All the very best, Mike

Awesome tractor. I've always liked the Challenger series, right back to the earliest tracked variants, but this model is easliy the most impressive in the line-up. It's great to see big, heavy duty, 'working machines' with as much of a jaw - dropping first impression as this. Great detailing too. It must have been a blast to work on - fantastic job Doug.

Mike Turner Apr 27, 2007

Doug, Magnum really is everything a good tractor should be. The form itself is so simple and pure - and creates a very distinctive silhouette. Ther black wheel centres realy finish it off perfectly. Proper big boys toys! Thank you for being.
Mike Turner Apr 02, 2007

Now THAT's what I call a tractor!! Park this next to a Gallardo Spyder and ask the respective owners who is actually The Daddy... Chances are, they'll agree that the Magnum takes it - everytime!
Mike Turner Apr 02, 2007

Hood, grille, light system, roof and fender surfaces are all pure inspiration to anyone working in Off-highway. It's so cool to see new images of this work in the group image pool - thank you so much for posting it. Fantastic work, Doug.
Gary Major Mar 27, 2007

Hi Douglas. I've been a long time admirer of this particular range of New Holland tractors, the vertical light stacking was a really original detail & gave the range a unique product differentiation. Seeing that you've got a history of CAT & CASE design too says you've got this stuff in your blood. Great work... Gary Major.
