The Axial Flow 150 Series.
Case IH’S Axial-Flow 140 series combines – aimed at mid-sized farms and contracting businesses – have become the Axial-Flow 150 series for 2020.
Said to utilise a design that uses simple, proven concepts; Axial-Flow principles work equally as well in mid-range machines as they do in the larger models, with the focus on a single rotor design.
Upgrades from the previous 140 series in the new 150 series combines’ can be specified with IF800/65 R32 tyres to minimize ground pressure with a bigger footprint and benefit from an overall width that is under 3.5m. This allows the machines to still travel easily on narrow roads.
