Axial-flow combines… still the harvesting leader

Over the past three decades, Axial-Flow rotary combines have put more quality grain in the tank than any other harvesting system. The Case IH 2300 Series combines are a direct descendant of this harvesting heritage. With billions of bushels as proof, the single in-line rotor threshes and separates grain more carefully and completely for higher yields.

Unlike conventional designs with up to 16 moving parts, the Axial-Flow rotor does the work of cylinders, concaves and straw walkers. Together with the patented Cross Flow fan system and 3-section concave, the rotary design gives you multiple-pass threshing for cleaner, high-quality grain. In fact, it puts bushels where they belong – in the grain tank – instead of sending them out of the back.

The proven rotary design of a 2300 series combine leads to a several significant advantages in simplicity, grain savings, grain quality, crop adaptability and performance… giving Axial-Flow owners the best investment. Simplicity. Case IH combines are designed with fewer moving parts for better reliability and easier serviceability.

Grain Savings. The multiple-pass threshing and separating system is more thorough which puts more grain in the tank.

Grain Quality. With this design, concaves can be operated in a more relaxed setting for improved grain quality in all crops.

Crop Adaptability. By matching concaves, grate and rotor configurations, the Axial-Flow design can be adapted to a wider variety of crops and conditions.

Matched Capacity. From header to spreader, careful engineering ensures that all combine components are closely matched in capacity for optimum performance.

Advanced Farming Systems (AFS) and other productivity enhancements can also be added to older Axial-Flow models.

Faster harvesting speeds usually result in higher crop loss from shattering. That’s not the case with new 2015 pickup headers in belt-type or Rake-Up versions for Case IH 2300 and 2100 Series Axial-Flow combines. Built to match today’s large – capacity combines, the new 2015 header is designed to make a clean sweep of your field to help you get more of your crop.

While both header types work well in all crop types and conditions, the 2015 belt-type header is ideal for windrowed grains. The belt-type header includes four rollers and two belts that engage the crop and gently fit it into the header.

The 2015 rake-Up header is unmatched in its picking ability. With its unique sideways sweeping motion and positive picking action, the 2015 rake-type header really proves its worth in hard-to-thresh conditions and specialty crops such as canola, lentils, grass seed, peas and beans.

The slower teeth speed and positive drive of the 2015 header lets it run at half of the RPM speed of other machines. This ensures a gentle picking movement to reduce shatter, shelling, and pod loss. This slower pick-up speed also picks up fewer stones. An exclusive spring wire hold-down and windguard prevent the swath from rolling ahead of the pickup and the positive drive doesn’t slip in lodged or tangled crop. With a new 325 multi-crop header from Case IH, you can harvest a variety of crops with the same machine.
