About Case IH Combines

From its start building the first thresher that separated straw from grain to current innovations in tractor power, fuel efficiency, and its Advanced Farming Systems precision ag tools, Case IH has a more than 175-year history as a leader in the farm equipment industry. The company’s harvesting technology took a huge leap forward in 1977, when International Harvester began using a single, large-diameter rotor to optimize the threshing and separating process. The rotary Axial-Flow combine technology continues to be a primary feature in today’s Case IH combines.

Case IH Axial-Flow 8250 Combine

A Brief History

Case acquired the agricultural division of International Harvester in 1985, and the company now features the iconic Harvester Red #50 color across its vast lineup of farm equipment. In 1986, Case IH introduced its 1600 Series combines, with increased grain tank capacity over the company’s 1400-series machines. Ten years later, the Case IH 2100 Series provided a combine with greater power and a more efficient hydraulic system, as well as a new cab. Case IH introduced the first Class 9 combine, the 483-horsepower (360-kilowatt) 9120, in 2009. Case IH’s Axial-Flow 140 and 240 Series combines were introduced in 2015, and the 150- and 250-series combines first became available in 2018.

Automated Command

The AFS Harvest Command automation technology that’s available on modern Case IH combines adjusts the harvesting speed based on feedback from combine sensors in conjunction with the maximum ground speed and engine load set by the operator. Options like Performance, Grain Quality, Fixed Throughput, and Maximum Throughput automation modes match harvesting goals, crop type, maximum operating speed, and power limits. Many of the latest Case IH 50 Series Axial-Flow combines are equipped with 16 sensors, and one of the more recent sensors in AFS Harvest Command is a grain camera with a patented multi-spectral light emission capability that more accurately identifies broken kernels and impurities. AFS Harvest Command can also adapt machine settings automatically as crop conditions and moisture levels change throughout the day.

Harvest All Types Of Crops

The versatile design of Case IH Axial-Flow combines let them harvest more than 130 types of grain, according to Case IH. The machines are compatible with a wide range of corn heads, cutterbars, and draper heads. Case IH’s own corn headers range from six to 18 rows, and the draper heads are available in cutting widths anywhere from 25 to 45 feet (7.6 to 13.7 meters). The large grain tanks found across the Axial-Flow 150 and 250 combine families, along with expeditious unloading rates, further improve productivity in the field. To maximize cleaning capacity, Case IH combines are equipped with the company’s patented Cross Flow cleaning fan, which creates a vortex of highly accelerated air, as well as the Cross Flow cleaning system with an in-cab sensor that detects uneven ground operation.

Crop Residue Management

In recent years, Case IH has added several enhancements to its combines’ crop residue management systems to better handle the more robust residue of new genetic crop strains. The Axial-Flow 250 Series combines, for example, are available with seven chopper and spreader options, and the Axial-Flow 150 Series features three chopper options and dual disc spreaders. The wide range of crop residue options help farmers manage residue in a way that matches their tillage and livestock programs.
