Harvest Command proactively adjusts and optimize the combine as crop conditions change. This is the only system with sieve pressure control and a patented grain camera working at multi spectrum level.

Tailored for any crop, any condition. With headers designed to harvest over 134 types of grains, choose the perfect fit for your specific needs.

The key to combine output is efficient crop flow. The Axial-Flow 260 series features a high-performance feeder with:

- HD Elevators: Increased lifting capacity to manage large headers and maximize throughput.

- Thanks to the outstanding lifting height of the header, a ground clearance of 1.35 m is achieved, perfect for good manoeuvrability on the headland or otherwise impassable field entrances.

- Terrain Tracker: Fully automatic header height control for consistent stubble height and optimal ground following, even at high speeds and in challenging conditions.

This translates to less grain loss, higher revenue, and uninterrupted stubble cultivation.

Single rotor technology - the industry benchmark.

The Axial-Flow 260's threshing system is designed to protect your harvest and maximize its value. Our unique grain-on-grain threshing method gently separates grain without the damaging impact of conventional drums. This results in:

 - Minimal Broken Grain: Gentle threshing preserves grain quality, maximizing potential premiums.

 - Enhanced Market Value: High-quality, undamaged grain strengthens your negotiating position.

 - Adaptable Threshing: Easily exchangeable rasp bars and adjustable components (including concaves and rotor cage vanes) allow for precise customization based on crop type and harvesting conditions. This ensures thorough threshing and minimal unthreshed ears, even in challenging crops like soybeans, rice, and canola.

The Axial-Flow 260's advanced cleaning system is designed to maximize your yield by delivering the cleanest possible grain sample. Here's how:

 - Harvest Command Automation: Automatically adjusts cleaning fan speed and sieves opening to minimize grain loss, regardless of terrain, ensuring optimal performance on flat ground and hillsides alike.

 - Self-Leveling Cleaning System: A large cleaning area combined with up to 12% self-leveling maintains consistent cleaning performance even on slopes, preventing grain loss and ensuring a clean sample.

 - Tri-Sweep Tailings Rethresher:  Recovers any remaining grain from the tailings, without rotor overload.

 - Cross-Flow Cleaning Function: Automatically compensates for sieve overload on hillsides up to 12%, ensuring consistent cleaning capacity and preventing losses. (delete, it's repeating the seme info of Self-Levelling cleaning system)

The Axial-Flow 260 series is designed for maximum efficiency, starting with its high-capacity grain tanks:

 - Large Capacity: Choose from capacities up to 14,400 l (11,100 liters standard on the 7260, optional 14,400 l; 14,400 l standard on 8260/9260) to minimize unloading stops and maximize time in the field.

 - Fast Unloading: Unloading speeds of up to 159 l/sec (141 l/sec on the 7260) ensure quick and efficient unloading, further reducing downtime.

 - Water-Sealed Design: Hydraulically folding grain tank extensions create a water-sealed environment, protecting your harvest from the elements and preventing spillage during filling. (delete, the metrial is not protected becasue the grain tank cannot be closed when full).

 - Easy Access for Maintenance: The design of the grain tank allows for safe and easy access for cleaning and maintenance, minimizing downtime between harvests.

The Axial-Flow 260 is engineered for efficiency and reliability.

 - Efficient Power Transmission: Shaft drives minimize power loss and fuel consumption, requiring minimal maintenance.

 - Power Plus Rotor Drive: Delivers efficient power to the rotor with speed adjustment and rotation reversal for clearing blockages.

 - Unrivaled Soil Protection (Optional): Front track units maximize traction and minimize soil compaction.

 - Pure Power by FPT: Ensures consistent power for simultaneous harvesting chopping and unloading.

 - CVT Header Drive (Optional): Optimizes header speed for various crops, especially corn.

 - Reduced Maintenance: Robust design with minimal belts and chains for reduced maintenance.

Experience Unsurpassed Comfort and Control - The Axial-Flow 260's operator environment is designed to maximize productivity and minimize fatigue.

The Axial-Flow 260's residue management system adapts to diverse needs:

- Integrated Chopper: This chopper both chops and conveys crop residue, offering four settings: chopping (with 40 or 120 knives), long straw spreading, and swath delivery (of long or chopped straw). Easily switch between chopping and swathing from the cab, and adjust chopper speed manually or from the cab.

- Xtra-Chopping System (Optional): For demanding conditions, the optional Xtra-Chopping system sets new standards. It processes pre-chopped straw with 96 blades, spreading it precisely across up to 12.5 meters. Choose between normal chopping and swathing modes.

 - Efficient Operation: In swath delivery, the integrated chopper operates at 800 rpm without the counterbar. In chopping mode, speed increases to 3,000 rpm with counterknives engaged.
