THE LATEST HARVESTING TECHNOLOGY

In 2018, the 250 Series Axial-Flow combine range incorporates the latest Case IH automated harvesting technology, AFS Harvest Command^™. Available as an option, AFS Harvest Command^™ is a self-contained system which communicates with all key combine elements and optimises the combine settings according to one of four chosen strategies to deliver maximum capacity in any harvesting condition. Designed to relieve the operator from refining combine settings to changing conditions, it allows the combine driver to focus on unloading and logistics. Full-specification AFS Harvest Command™ automation adds rotor cage vane adjustment, grain camera- and sieve pressure sensors- to maximise harvesting speed by changing the combine settings until pre-set parameters are not exceeded.

7 TO 2 OPERATOR INPUTS

Equipped with AFS Harvest Command^™, the Axial-Flow 250 Series will automatically adjust the fan speed, ground speed, sieve opening, rotor speed and rotor cage vanes according to the desired outcome selected by the operator.

That means only two manual operator inputs are then required: setting the concave clearance and operating the unloading auger.

BE THE OPERATOR AND THE SPECTATOR AT THE SAME TIME

1 – IN THE ROTOR CAGE: In-cab adjustable rotor cage vanes give to the operators the ability to retain crop for longer, or eject it more quickly from the rotor cage.

2 – AT THE SIEVES: Sieve pressure sensors discern the difference between sieve overload and blow-out losses, and adjust fan and sieve settings accordingly, preventing grain loss.

3 – ON THE MOVE: The new transmission incorporates a field mode and a road mode. This twin-range design is also integrated into the AFS Harvest Command^™ option to attain highest possible harvesting speed which will satisfy the set harvesting parameters.

CHOOSE AMONG 4 HARVESTING STRATEGIES

AFS Harvest Command^™ algorithm continuously and automatically optimizes your farming strategies:

GRAIN QUALITY MODE: adjusting settings to maintain a targeted grain quality and impurity level, while minimising losses.
PERFORMANCE MODE: operating at a speed to ensure acceptable rotor and cleaning system losses.
CONSTANT THROUGHPUT MODE: maintaining a target throughput by varying its speed, and adjusts settings to minimise losses.
MAXIMUM CAPACITY MODE: operating up to the operator-set speed or power limit, while adjusting settings to minimise rotor and cleaning system grain losses.
