Leading the Industry: Harvesting Meets Efficient Power

Regardless of crop, field condition or farm size, Case IH Axial-Flow combines are proven to produce the highest in both grain quantity and quality. As a member of the Case IH Efficient Power family, Axial-Flow Combines are designed to deliver exceptional fuel and fluid economy as well as impressive horsepower.  In fact, our six 40 series models offer full Tier 4 B/Final compliance.

Efficient Power

 Axial-Flow 40 series combines with Tier 4 B/Final Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology, deliver more power and better fuel efficiency with extended service intervals and minimal scheduled maintenance. Case IH engines treat emissions in the exhaust, using proven SCR engine technology. This means that the engines are designed to provide responsive power and improved fuel economy. They also run cooler, unlike power-robbing EGR solutions.

A Single-Minded Approach to Perfecting Single Rotor Design

 In the 38 years since we introduced our first combine featuring the Axial-Flow single rotor design, we’ve done nothing but refine and improve its performance. Now available on six models, each giving you superior grain quality and incredible overall value.
We determined early on that a single rotor design was the right solution, and as the only manufacturer with this technology, we’re proud to bring it to you.

Drive Systems: Shift Into the Right Model for You

Whether you want simplicity and convenience or superior control, Case IH Axial-Flow combines are available with the rotor technology right for you. Our 140 series delivers proven technology through a simple, efficient and reliable belt-driven rotor design
Or choose our flagship 240 series — featuring our innovative Power Plus® Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) drive that is belt-free and low maintenance. This innovative design offers unique in-field capabilities including rotor de-slug, feeder de-slug and our patented header to groundspeed syncing which together helps save time, boost productivity and deliver the ultimate in operator control.
 

Threshing and Separating: Take Control of Your Harvest

 We pioneered rotor development back in the 1960’s. Since then, refinements, enhancements, and improvements have led to the pinnacle in rotor performance, the AFX rotor. It features constant pitch impellers that draw the crop and air into the rotor. The AFX rotor can be set into many configurations, adapting to both crop and threshing conditions with the use of straight bars, spiked rasp bars, and helical kickers. Competitive rotor and cage designs can reduce productivity, and increase grain damage because of inefficient feeding and crop-control designs.

Cleaning: The Proof Is in the Sample

High-capacity combines need large, high-capacity cleaning systems. Axial-Flow combines match cleaning system capacity to the size of the machine, providing superior efficiency, grain sample quality and savings. The Cross-Flow cleaning fan uses its patented design to deliver consistently clean grain samples no matter the harvest condition. The result is exceptional grain quality, ideal for food-grade crops or crops grown by any producer that demands the most from his machine.

Residue Management: Manage Residue Easily and Effectively

Agronomic Residue Design

• Widest range of residue features on the market to tailor to your residue needs
• Built to handle the tough residue associated with new crop genetics
• Provides excellent chop and spread quality to prepare next years seed bed
• Vertical spreaders provide 3 spread options: windrow all residue, spread all residue, windrow straw and spread chaff

Grain Handling: Reduce Your Upload Time

Large grain tanks, longer augers and quick-folding, no-tools-required grain tanks extensions are standard on all Axial-Flow combine models. The new 40 series, with an all-new upgraded unload system, raises the bar with up to 40 percent faster unload times.

Features include:

• Impressive high capacity clean grain elevator
• Dual drive unload system
• 250 - 410 bu. grain tank capacity
• High unload rates
• Unload auger options
• Optional pivoting spout with fixed or folding unloading auger

Operator Environment: Unmatched Comfort, Visibility and Control

With one of the largest and quietest cabs among the foremost combine manufacturers, the Axial-Flow cab gives you industry-leading glass and unsurpassed sight lines so you can keep an eye on the entire header. With its ergonomic and intuitive design, you get maximized comfort and productivity. Climb up and enjoy - this is what leadership looks like.

Customer-Driven Design That Performs Beyond Expections

Case IH Axial-Flow combine designs are driven by input from our customers. This creates a combine that is intuitive, simple to set, easy to adjust and operate. From the no-tools-required extensions to the electronically adjustable sieves, everything about these machines was created for your unique needs.

AFS AccuGuide™: Eliminate Guesswork. Elevate Your Harvest.

The factory-installed AFS AccuGuide autoguidance system offers unsurpassed accuracy and convenience, allowing you to maximize production. Building the system with the combine at Case IH ensures correct installation, testing and a higher level of quality. It also eliminates waiting for a technician to install additional components. The autoguidance system simplifies your work and we just simplified the process.

Maximum Uptime to Make the Most of Your Season

With fewer moving parts, the simple and reliable Axial-Flow combine has made the most of short harvest windows for over 38 years. You'll appreciate the time you can save thanks to optional powered grain tank covers that can be controlled in-cab. The grain tank extensions can also be powered on 40 series combines. In addition, Power Plus CVT drives on 240 series models provide more power, less downtime and unique in-field capabilities like patented header to groundspeed syncing to ensure smooth material flow from header to spreader.
