Axial-Flow productivity

Axial-Flow combine productivity is dependent on several variables: type of crop, crop conditions, timeliness of harvest, machine settings, and operator experience. Adverse harvest conditions early in the season produce lower productivity levels than ideal harvest conditions with optimised machine settings later in the season. Machine capacity may vary, depending on conditions. The average productivity difference between each Axial-Flow model ranges 10 to 20 percent.

More horsepower

The Class VII 7150 Axial-Flow utilise a reliable Case IH FPT 8.7L engine. The 7250 Axial-Flow has an 11.1L Case IH FPT engine while the 8250 Axial-Flow has a 12.9L Case IH FPT engine. The 9250 Axial-Flow feature a 16.0L Case IH FPT engine. The 150 Series engines provide up to 50 kW (67 hp) of power rise and the 250 Series engines provide up to 49 kW (66hp) of power rise with the 7250 Axial-Flow model and 56 kW (75hp) of power rise with the 8250 and 9250 Axial-Flow to handle demanding field conditions and today’s higher loads.

Our system offers powerful advantges

All Axial-Flow 50 Series combines offer a significant increase in fuel economy. Some of our competitors use an EGR emission-control system that slows combustion and compromises engine performance. Case IH FPT diesel engines are tuned to peak performance, offering a combination of power and fuel economy. Additionally, all 50 Series engines offer automatic low idle speeds of 600 RPM to further increase fuel savings when the combine is not under load.
Economy Mode on the 250 Series reduces engine speed while roading.

Simplicity and reliability

An exclusive three-speed gearbox provides efficient power transfer from the engine to the rotor on all 50 Series Axial-Flow combines. The Axial-Flow 7150 utilises a 30 in. (762 mm) wide rotor drive belt. The 7250, 8250 and 9250 Axial-Flow models use the exclusive Power PlusTM CTV drive as input to the three-speed gearbox. The three-speed gearbox also provides rotor speed overlap for improved belt life and greater power transfer efficiency, while the three-speed ranges ensure optimal positioning for commonly used rotor speeds. This unique design results in less belt slippage, the most efficienct power transfer, greater durability and increased life.

The intermediate feeder gearbox

The intermediate feeder gearbox provides efficient power transfer to the feeder top shaft and optional spiral rock drum, if equipped. The gearbox eliminates the need for chains or belts and protects the feeder with both a friction clutch on the feeder shaft and a radial pin clutch on the feeder drum.

The lower feeder gearbox

This gearbox handles the high horsepower requirements of chopping corn heads and large headers and ensures efficient and smooth power transfer to the header.

Patented, revolutionary power plus CVT drives

CVT drives are specifically built to accommodate the higher horsepower demands of our 7250, 8250 and 9250 combines. It’s an exclusive technological advancement you won’t find on any other manufacturer’s machines.

Exclusive power plus CVT.
More power, less downtime

The industry-exclusive Power Plus CVT delivers more power and less downtime thanks to a dedicated drive for the rotor and a separate drive for the feeder. The CVT system offers efficient mechanical all-gear drive with a hydraulic motor to vary speed. The exclusive rotor de-slug allows you to reverse the rotor from the comfort of your cab. The three-speed rotor gearbox optimises the speed range for peak efficiency. With a CVT drive, you get the convenience of hydraulic variable control and the efficient power transfer of a mechanical system.

Patented auto feeder speed (optional)

Available on the 7250, 8250 and 9250, is the in-cab electronic variable feeder speed control which automatically matches header speed to ground speed, optimising grain savings in corn head applications. As crops get thinner and combines accelerate, the header and feeder speed automatically adapt to keep more grain in the bin.

Transition cone
Axial-Flow cone:
The most patented feature

The transition cone is the most patented feature of the Axial-Flow. It’s simple geometry transitions crop from feeder to rotor. Crop is smoothly accelerated in a spiral motion from 8km/h to about 96km/h.

Feeder sizes to match Combine capacity

Axial-Flow feeders produce a thick crop mat and utilise rolled-slat feeder chains for aggressive feeding with minimal grain damage. The enhanced crop flow results in improved rotor performance and machine productivity.

AFX rotor
The most advanced rotor technology

The single in-line Axial-Flow rotor coupled with a concentric rotor cage delivers gentle, multiple pass, grain-on-grain threshing and smoother crop flow – the hallmark of an Axial-Flow combine.

The AFX rotor uses constant pitch impellers, rasp bars, and helical kickers to efficiently move crop through the machine for more complete threshing and greater productivity. The constant pitch impellers provide more capacity, using less horsepower and less fuel.

Concentric rotor cage
Customised for peak performance

Adjustable rotor vanes can be used to optimise crop flow and maximise productivity. Axial-Flow combines can be adjusted to provide uniform crop flow with more efficient use of power. Maintaining crop control also reduces peak horsepower demands, and consumes less fuel.

Greater crop separation

Concentric rotor cage provides positive crop control, and is perforated to allow maximum crop separation (up to 360 degrees) from the centrifugal force of the innovative AFX rotor.

The concave/module wrap.
The proof is in the grain tank!

Concave/module wrap is one of the most important elements affecting combine capacity. While other brands use longer rotors, Case IH uses the concave/module wrap to gain capacity. All Case IH combines use a 30-inch diameter rotor. The Axial-Flow 150 Series use 156 degrees of concave wrap while the 250 Series utilise 180 degrees of module wrap.

Axial-Flow module wrap options

Different rotor modules on the Axial-Flow 250 Series can be used to easily adapt to a variety of harvesting conditions. Rotor modules are composed of two sections, right and left, and are interchangeable front to back. The 18kg modules are secured with just two bolts and can easily be switched within minutes. The small tube (ST) rotor is standard for rice and optional for small grain producers. This rotor provides increased productivity in tough harvest conditions where rice or tough green straw would be present.

Active grain pan
Maximise your productivity

Designed for extra capacity, an active grain pan is utilised on the Axial-Flow 250 Series. The active grain pan helps stratify material, leaving the heavy seeds at the bottom of the pan, and the lighter MOG (Material Other than Grain) at the top. When the layers move onto the sieves, the grain falls, and the MOG is lifted in the air by the Cross-Flow^™ cleaning fan. On the 250 series the Cross-Flow cleaning fan is hydraulically driven allowing a constant fan speed as machine loads increase.

Axial-Flow Choppers (optional)

Axial-Flow 50 Series model choppers deliver the right residue-handling system for any operation. 50 Series combines provide the ability to switch between spreading chaff and straw or windrowing chaff and straw. Some models also feature the enhanced capability of spreading chaff and windrowing straw. There is an option to suit all your residue management needs.

Magnacut chopper (optional)

Axial-Flow 250 series models offer the MagnaCut chopper option for unparalleled performance in the heaviest of crop conditions. The three-row helix design coupled with longer, more aggressive counter knives produces the finest cut in residue with superb adjustability to balance both cut and power consumption. The MagnaCut is so unique that it was given the prestigious AE50 Award from the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers.

More residue management improvements

If you’re looking to enhance your field environment, uniform residue spreads are an important first step before seed, chemical and fertiliser placement. Axial-Flow 250 series models offer a bolted paddle with enhanced geometry for increased width and even chaff spreading. You can easily adjust the spread width with the standard three-sided spreader chute for precise spread control. A centre divider also adjusts to control the spread pattern behind the combine. In addition, the windrow opening is 45% larger than the previous model with an improved residue geometry to provide better windrow formation and material flow.

Bigger tanks

Axial-Flow 150 series combines feature the legendary single-rotor technology, combined with the Cross Flow™ cleaning system and increased grain-handling capacity, to put more high-quality grain in the tank.

• 7150 model – 300 bu. (10,560L) grain tank capacity.
• 7250 model – 315bu. (11,100L) grain tank capacity.
• 8250 and 9250 model – 410 bu. (14,400L) grain tank capacity.

  7150 - 25.8 ft. (7.86 m), Standard with pivoting spout – designed for 40' headers and smaller.
• 250 Series:
  7250, 8250 and 9250, 34 ft. (10.4 m), Standard with pivoting spout and folding auger – designed for 45' headers and larger.

250 series offers enhanced unload system

The entire unload system on the Axial-Flow 250 series combines includes larger components, including a 17 inch vertical tube and high capacity unload elbow. All Axial-Flow 150 series combines feature powered grain tank extensions for added convenience and easier transport and storage.

Pivoting auger spout

An industry-exclusive pivoting spout allows easier grain cart fill. From the comfort of the cab, the operator can reposition the unloading grain stream with a single button. The unloading spout can be positioned where needed, instead of moving the entire combine.

Fast unload rates

Unload rates of 3.2 bushels per second (113 litres/sec) for the 6150 and 7150; 4 bushels per second (141 litres/sec) on the 7250; and an impressive 4.5 bushels per second (159 litres/sec) on the 8250 and 9250. In addition, the independent cross auger control on the 250 series gives operators more flexibility during the challenging grain cart fill process, providing the ability to independently turn off grain tank cross augers and empty the unload auger.

Harvest monitoring

All Case IH Axial-Flow combines feature integrated yield and moisture monitoring sensors standard from the factory. In fact, Case IH was the first to offer this capability direct from the factory in 1996. The AFS Pro 700 display serves as your single interface to calibrate sensors, view yield and moisture information, monitor combine performance and control machine functions.

AFS variety tracking

Keep accurate records of seed varieties, inputs and performance from planting through harvest automatically with AFS Variety Tracking. Use data from planting for up to 30 different seed varieties per field in conjunction with yield and moisture data tracked at harvest to easily and accurately analyse variety performance.

Auto-cut width

Using your AFS Pro 700 display as the interface, Auto-Cut Width adjusts combine cut width when traveling through odd-shaped fields, point rows or other previously harvested areas. It helps you prevent inaccurate area and yield calculations when used with a GPS receiver.
