Case IH has become the name synonymous with axial-flow combines, although it was its then competitors, New Holland, who introduced the concept in 1975.
International Harvester produced its own axial flow models in 1977, and with the merger of Case and IH in 1984, traditional straw walker machines disappeared from the new company’s range, except for a small production ran in the late 1990s.
New Holland has continued with both types up until the present day, even after its own merger with Case in 1999, and the two subsidiaries of CNHi have remained reasonably independent of each other ever since.
Following a preview of the models at the last Agritechnica, Case has officially launched the Axial-Flow 160 and 260 series, which are to be available for the 2025 harvest.
The company also promises additional model unveilings later this year.
High discharge rates are said to be a major feature of the new machines
The 7260 is powered by a 498hp motor, the 8260 has a 571hp, and the largest machine within the the group, the 9260, has 634hp, and all offer the Harvest Command system, which automatically adjusts combine settings based on operator-defined performance criteria.
Case has also brought Harvest Command to the new lower capacity Axial-Flow 160 series, which includes the 400hp 6160, with a 10,570L grain tank and the 460hp 7160 with a 12,500L grain tank.
The system is said to ensure consistent results regardless of the operator’s experience.
Both series also feature Safeguard Connect, combining Case IH support services like warranty, pre-season checks, FieldOps, remote monitoring, training, and support.
The harvest command system is said to enable the optimum settings whatever the experience of the operator
At the very top end, Case has recently introduced the new AF series, which is designed mainly for the American market.
The largest is the AF 11 which packs twin rotors driven by a 775hp engine, the AF10 is a single rotor version with the same power while the AF9 delivers 634hp.
The new AF series will make its official European debut at EIMA 2024 in Bologna, Italy, from November6-10, and will, the company claims, ensure that Case has the widest range of rotary combines on the global market.
