Case IH opens the combine books for 2025

With harvest over in many regions and still full-steam ahead in others, Case IH is already looking ahead by opening its combine ordering window for 2025.

Farmers in the market for a new Case IH Axial-Flow have until February 2025 to place an order for a current Axial-Flow 250 Series, a new 260 Series, and the new AF9 and AF10 Series. However, AF9 and AF10 Series are in limited supply for next year.

The Axial-Flow 260 Series includes dual Pro 1200 displays for a comprehensive view of operations, while anti-glare screens allow for optimum visibility and high-definition grain quality imaging in real time.

The entire display system has user-friendly navigation, and the operator can customise displays, input Harvest Command settings, set up guidance and share real-time data and critical machine information.

“Our Axial-Flow combines have set the standard for grain quality and the highest levels of efficiency and productivity for many years now, and that remains unsurpassed in this latest series,” said Case IH Product Manager, Marc Smith.

“But what customers will really appreciate in the 260 Series are in the cab with the likes of dual Pro 1200 displays, and the easy-to-use and customisable features that give operators access to every aspect of the combine’s functions and performance.

“The comfort of the cab, which we know is absolutely critical given the number of hours an operator spends in the seat during harvest, has also been elevated, with an emphasis on helping alleviate the fatigue and stress associated with such long days.”

Case IH’s Harvest Command combine automation technology is front and centre in the Axial-Flow 260 Series and AF9 and 10 Series, designed to help reduce the number of functions operators need to monitor in the cab.

Also available on the Case IH Axial-Flow 250 Series, Harvest Command monitors everything from ground speed and engine load all the way up to feed-rate control and sieve settings.

The AF9 and AF10 Series have been designed with enhanced power, efficiency and throughput in mind. The 634hp (AF9) and 775hp (AF10) engines maximise crop flow without putting additional pressure on the machine.

Built upon the legacy of Axial-Flow single-rotor technology, the AFXL rotor of the AF9 and AF10 is 40 per cent longer than the 250 Series for increased throughput, while grain-handling capacity is enhanced with a 16,000L grain tank on the AF9 and 20,000L on the AF10.

They also include a full suite of precision technology, including dual Pro 1200 displays, Harvest Command and connectivity.
