Harvest Command

Fine-tuning harvest settings and adjustments can test even the most experienced operator. Case IH Harvest Command helps reduce errors and operator stress by shrinking the number of cab-monitored functions from twelve to three. 

Control concave clearance, header position and grain tank unload. Harvest Command takes care of the rest.

As grain moves through the combine, the combine automation system adjusts upper sieve opening, lower sieve opening, pre-sieve opening, cleaning fan rpm, rotor vane angle, rotor rpm and ground speed.

Choose the Harvest Command operation mode to match your harvest goals. Then set the crop type, maximum operating speed and power limits. Case IH Harvest Command takes over from there.

• Performance: Achieve maximum grain savings and grain quality while optimizing throughput. This is the most common automation mode, and used when harvest is progressing well, conditions are nearly ideal, and no weather threats are looming.
• Grain Quality: Achieve maximum grain quality in the tank while saving grain and optimizing throughput. This mode is designed for when the goal is to deliver the highest-quality grain possible and minimize cracked and broken kernels.
• Max Throughput: Maximize throughput, save grain, and maintain a quality sample. This mode is ideal for tight harvest windows and weather limitations to maximize the acres without sacrificing grain loss or quality.
• Fixed Throughput: Fix the machine throughput, save grain, and maintain a quality sample. This mode is ideal when you’re harvesting under limiting operating conditions (e.g. trucking schedules or drying limitations) to maintain a target throughput to match your infrastructure.

With Harvest Command, sensitivity adjustments let the operator fine-tune machine performance. For rotor, sieve, grain quality and material other than grain sensitivities, the operator can observe machine performance to easily dial in machine sensitivities and machine performance.

Case IH Harvest Command automation helps refine the harvesting process by reducing the number of functions you need to monitor in the cab from twelve to three. With Harvest Command, control concave clearance, header position, and grain tank unload while the automation system takes care of the rest.

Electronic ground drive control automatically adjusts ground speed to match harvest conditions. An essential part of Harvest Command, Feedrate automatically adjusts feeder speed to accommodate crop conditions, improving performance and productivity.

Sieve Pressure Sensors provide sieve loading data to Harvest Command, allowing the system to understand the difference between sieve overload and blow-out losses. The sensors work together with the Auto Fan option to help prevent loss before it occurs by detecting load and inclination. Together, ideal operating settings adjust as conditions change.

Experience improved air control and cleaning system response. Tied directly to Harvest Command, the hydraulic cleaning fans respond to conditions faster and are up to four times faster than previous models.

An integrated grain camera provides grain sample feedback to Harvest Command, detecting cracked and broken grain as well as material other than grain. Additional technology within the camera accurately monitors grain sample quality and provides instant feedback to inform automated adjustments.
