Case IH is present where agriculture is the most advanced, and has its global plant installed in Piracicaba, Brazil, from where it exports its harvesters to the five continents.

Ensuring efficient fuel consumption, the A8000 Series harvesters are equipped with the Smart Cruise intelligent engine, which optimises fuel usage and makes harvester operation even simpler.

The A8000 Series incorporates all the reliability of more than 25 years of the A7000 Series with a unique Case IH technological package.

When harvesting in the most adverse conditions, the simplicity of operation and maintenance, low operating cost and excellence in after-sales service make Case IH the most cost effective option.

Greater cooling capacity and fewer cleaning stops required

The cooling system includes a radiator cooling package comprised of an engine coolant radiator, intercooler , hydraulic oil radiator, and air conditioning condenser.

This system is located on the upper part of the harvester, which minimises contact with mineral and vegetable impurities. In addition, the system exerts positive pressure on the engine box, thereby decreasing the entry of impurities. Greater access to the engine is another factor that stands out with this new design.

Air for radiator ventilation enters through a wide fixed screen, and the fan is hydraulically driven and reversible. To keep the air intake screen clean at all times, the fan is automatically reversed every 10 minutes, expelling all impurities captured in the air intake screen.

The operator may also reverse the fan through a button in the cab at any time in the event of any irregularities in the engine coolant or hydraulic oil temperatures.

Faster harvesting, including in high agricultural yield areas

The Extreme Chopper enables harvesting with greater speed, even in high productivity areas, and plant cane. The result is greater operational yield and lower fuel consumption (litres/tonne of sugarcane harvested).

The Extreme Chopper provides 39% more power compared to the earlier chopper, increased chopper drum speed from 180 rpm to 205 rpm, and billet length adjustment from the cab.

• Heavy Duty chopper flywheel with simple mounting – greater inertia.
• One motor for each drum – longer service life for the gears that only synchronise the blades.

Two-hose piping for oil flow, at the top of the elevator, has a reduced number of connections and low risk of faults. A bin guard (optional) protects against damage from the elevator on the transporter providing a longer service life for the structure. The hydraulically-actuated bin flap allows for better load distribution in the transporter.

The chain tension adjustment system with threaded adjusters provides greater precision and makes it easier to adjust the chains. The head shaft with greater diameter results in a low incidence of billet losses.
