Axial-Flow 260 Series Combines

• Axial-Flow 260 series combines can be easily configured to achieve food grade quality harvests.
• With the AFX rotor and a choice of six threshing and separating modules, the combine can be adapted to different crops and threshing conditions with the use of straight bars, spiked rasp bars and helical kickers.
• It’s simple to clear crop material out of the threshing, separating and cleaning systems with an automated cleanout feature.

Pro 1200 dual displays give you an unmatched view of every aspect of the Axial-Flow 260 combine operation. The large displays feature an anti-glare screen for optimum visibility and allow for instant grain quality imaging for a real-time, high-definition look at harvested grain.

Working with our customers, we developed the entire display system for easy navigation among key functions. The Pro 1200 dual displays allow the operator customize the display to meet their needs, input Harvest Command settings, set up guidance and share real-time data and critical machine information with remote managers, consultants and technicians

We’ve taken the guesswork out of technology by bundling tech packages to make it easier to choose the technology that’s best suited to your operation. Get all you need in one place and know that your technology is yours, without the hassles of yearly subscriptions or activations.  

Essential precision technology tools for a more productive harvest are included in your Axial-Flow 260 purchase, including industry-leading Harvest Command, Pro1200 dual displays, AccuGuide, AccuSync and subscription-free connectivity.

Purposefully designed to be a simplified and streamlined all-in-one operations management solution, FieldOps will empower owners and operators to manage and visualize their entire fleet at anytime from anywhere. 

Case IH FieldOps will replace AFS Connect. If you already have an AFS Connect account, your information will transition automatically.

The new ActiveTrac four-roller hydraulic suspended track system on the Axial-Flow 260 Series combine offers a wider footprint, reducing compaction and increasing flotation by 14 percent over fixed-track models.

Sensors on the track system’s cylinders constantly adjust to field conditions and grain tank load to ensure consistent flotation throughout the working day. 

Harvest Command lets you take control of your harvest. Using advanced sensors strategically located throughout the combine, Harvest Command automatically adjusts settings to ensure an efficient harvest. Regardless of the time of day, crop conditions or moisture levels, the Harvest Command combine automation system is always working for you. Each automation mode prioritizes different harvesting outcomes — from grain quality to grain savings to throughput. Choose the mode of automation to match your harvesting goals. Then set the crop type, maximum operating speed and power limits and Harvest Command takes over from there.

A durable feeder house handles even the most demanding crop conditions. The feeder top shaft drive coupler features a crown spline design for greatly improved durability. A simple, two-piece feeder floor design increases durability and improves crop feeding. Plus, up to 6,123 kilograms in lift capacity handles even the largest chopping corn head on the market.

The two-speed electric shift ground drive transmission increases tractive effort and reduces the need to stop and shift in field or on the road. Wider speed ranges provide more power for climbing hills  and in challenging ground conditions. An optional differential lock further improves traction and performance. These combines are equipped with closed-loop sensing which ensures constant speed control plus an economy mode for fuel savings.

Our industry-exclusive Power Plus™ CVT drive provides reduced complexity and maintenance, while the PTO gear case design ensures pumps and drives are operating efficiently throughout the entire rpm range.

Our patented header to feeder ground speed automatically matches header speed to ground speed with in-cab electronic variable feeder speed control, optimizing grain savings in down-corn conditions. Header and feeder automatically adapt to combine speed and put more grain in your tank.

High-capacity combines need high-capacity cleaning systems. Axial-Flow combines match cleaning system capacity to the size of the machine, providing superior productivity, grain sample quality and savings. The patented design of the Cross Flow™ cleaning system fan delivers consistently clean grain samples no matter the harvest condition. 

• Self-leveling Cleaning System (SLS): The self-leveling sieves allow up to 12 percent slope each way. An in-cab, adjustable pre-sieve allows the operator to make adjustments on the go to maximize grain quality. 
• Tri-Sweep™ Tailings Processor: Using three sets of impellers, the processor gently re-threshes and elevates the tailings, returning them back to the active grain pan for final cleaning. This results in higher capacity, increased efficiency and improved grain quality.
• Active Grain Pan: Increases efficiency by separating the grain and other material through reciprocating action before reaching the cleaning system.
• Cross Flow Fan: After entering the fan, a vortex is created, which super charges the air flow, giving a full-balanced flow across the entire sieve. Air enters the full width of the fan from the top — not the sides — resulting in superior air flow.

The Case IH residue management system handles tough residue in all crop conditions and delivers consistency across the larger header widths used on the Axial-Flow 260 series combines. This prepares the ground for next year’s crop and can create consistent windrow formations and long straw for baling.  

• Rotor Discharge Deflector: Positioned directly behind the rotor, providing a central feeding point and deflecting residue toward the chopper. The deflectors can be adjusted either from in-cab or the right-hand side of the combine by a pin that can be placed into four different positions.
• Windrow Chute: Two residue modes (spread and windrow) provide options to meet your residue requirements, with an in-cab chop-to-swath option available for the vertical spreader package.
• Chopper: Blades are mounted in a spiral pattern, with seven separate chopper/residue options to match your requirements, including a factory-installed X-tra Chop; a small-grains residue package for increased residue chop and sizing.
• Hydraulically Driven Spreader: Hydraulically driven residue spreaders are adjustable in-cab for on-the-go speed control. Spreading width is easily adjusted manually by moving the dovetail in the center up or down.

Through customer-driven input, Case IH is committed to making your job easier, so you can maximize productivity.

• Convenient access with fewer belts and chains to adjust and maintain
• Exclusive, interactive PC training program helps you better understand the components, operation and adjustment of Axial-Flow combines.
