New Case IH AF10 Combine
One of the highlights on the stand will be the first UK appearance of an AF10 combine harvester – part of the new AF Series. The AF9 and AF10 launch completes the Case IH ‘Year of the Combine’ that began with the Axial-Flow 160 and 260 series release. Case IH now offers the industry’s largest line of single-rotor combines, staying true to a system it pioneered in 1977. The AF10 grain tank capacity is 20,000 litres – the joint largest in the industry for reduced unloading downtime – with a 210 l/sec unloading rate, while comparable figures for the AF9 are 16,000 litres and 159 l/sec.
The new 762mm-diameter AFXL rotor is the longest in the industry, at 3.67m, boosting crop flow, fuel efficiency and straw quality, while minimising grain damage and maximising separation.
In the cab, a revised interior features a comprehensive suite of precision technologies, including dual Pro 1200 screens with customisable displays, plus Harvest Command™ combine automation and Row Guide Pro™. Further in-cab control features include remote feeder and rotor reverse procedures, rotor gear selection, chopper speed selection, unloading speed choice and chopper knife engage/disengagement.
