Case IH Proves that 2024 is the 'Year of the Combine' with the Full Release of the Axial-Flow 160 and 260 Series and with Further AF Series Models to Debut in Europe Throughout 2024

• Axial-Flow 160/260 previewed at Agritechnica 2023 now available to order for harvest 2025
• AF 9/10 models unveiled in North America at Farm Progress Show will be on display in Europe later in 2024

Case IH continues to celebrate 2024 as its 'Year of the Combine' by officially launching the Axial-Flow 160 and 260 series, available for the 2025 harvest. This launch follows the successful preview of these models at Agritechnica 2023. Looking ahead, Case IH will further expand the AF Series lineup with additional model unveilings later this year.

The Year of the Combine 2024 was marked by the introduction of the Axial-Flow 160 and 260 series at Agritechnica 2023. Now available for order, these combines are engineered to enhance productivity and precision. The 7260 (498 hp with a 11,100 or 14,400-liter grain tank), 8260 (571 hp with a 14,400-liter grain tank), and 9260 (634 hp with a 14,400-liter grain tank) come equipped with advanced dual larger, higher-resolution Case IH Pro 1200 terminal displays, offering full connectivity and automated features. Key among these is Harvest Command™, which automatically adjusts combine settings based on operator-defined performance criteria.

For the first time, the new Axial-Flow 160 series (including the 400 hp 6160 with a 10,570-liter grain tank and the 460 hp 7160 with a 12,500-liter grain tank, the largest in its class) integrates Harvest Command™ automation within this power and size category, ensuring 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.

Building on the momentum of the 160 and 260 series launch, Case IH has begun introducing new combine models at the highest output levels.

Earlier this year, the new AF11, designed for the North American market, made its debut at the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, Kentucky. Most recently, at the Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa (August 27-29), Case IH unveiled two additional models: the AF9 and AF10.

The AF Series is equipped with a comprehensive suite of precision technologies, including dual Pro 1200 displays, Harvest Command™ combine automation, and RowGuide Pro™. In addition, the introduction of Connectivity Included* for Axial-Flow 160**, 260, and AF Series models enables seamless transmission of yield and machine data directly to the new Case IH FieldOps™ app, offering farmers a complete data management solution for their operations.

The new AF series will make its official European debut at EIMA 2024 in Bologna, Italy, from November 6-10.

"With these introductions, Case IH will offer the world's largest portfolio of rotary combines," says Marco Lombardi, Head of Case IH and STEYR brands EMEA.

"We have now completely renewed the Axial-Flow range in just two years, reinforcing our commitment to offer the technology today's farmers need to provide the best return on investment. Now we are extending the simplicity and efficacy of Axial-Flow design into new areas by harnessing technology that will help owners extract even more from their machines."

*Connectivity Included will be active for the useful life of the PCM/PCMF modem. If the modem is no longer capable of receiving current cellular services, any modem hardware upgrades are not the responsibility of Case IH. Acceptance of End User License Agreement (EULA) is required.

 **The Connectivity Included option will be available for the Axial-Flow 160 Series from October 2024.
