Rotary Combine History
30 years of Axial-Flow Leadership
In 1977, the harvesting world was introduced to a
revolutionary harvesting design, based on five core
principles:
- Simplicity
- Grain Quality
- Grain Savings
- Crop Adaptability
- Matched Capacity
Today, 30 years and over 130,000 combines later, it remains
the rotary harvesting benchmark. In fact, all other major
rotary combine manufacturers combined do not make up the
number of Axial-Flow combines produced!
As farming has changed over the years, Case IH engineers
continue to update, and upgrade the Axial-Flow to keep up
with changing customer needs, and maximize productivity for
any crop, under any condition.
Enclosed in this product information piece are the major
improvements to the Axial-Flow organized chronologically.
Case IH has developed many of these improvements into
combine after-sales support kits, many that can be retrofitted
back to the very first Axial-Flow combine!
