Redesigned cab for Axial-Flow combines

Written by 

NEW FEATURES on Case-IH Axial-Flow combines include a redesigned cab and a folding auger with an industry-exclusive pivoting spout option.

 

“Case IH Axial-Flow combines continue to set the industry benchmark for uptime, grain quality and grain savings, regardless of
the crop or field size,” says Tim Fanning, operations manager for Case IH. “[They] help producers simplify harvest [with] operator environment, added innovation and harvest control.”

Says Fanning, “Our new, redesigned cab has advanced even further the industry standard in convenience, comfort and operator ergonomics. This cab will be part of all models of Axial-Flow combines.” 

Cab features include: a multifunction propulsion handle with controls within a finger’s reach; convenient storage areas; iPod plug-in; a training seat that opens to a portable electric refrigerator; and more leg and foot room.

An optional leather luxury cab seat gives greater comfort, says Fanning:  “We understand the long hours producers spend in the combine.”

All models use the AFS Pro 700 display for yield monitoring and machine and guidance control in the cab. 

This is compatible with all Case IH equipment, so it can easily be transferred to tractor cabs for use with other jobs.

On-the-move unloading is facilitated by new options available with the augers. Standard offerings are two fixed-augers that extend to 8.75m. Now two folding auger options are available: an 8.75m auger that folds to 90o and a 10.3m auger that folds to 135o. 

Operators can now control a pivoting grain spout with the multifunction propulsion handle, adjusting the flow of grain up to 90cm without changing the speed of the grain cart or combine. 

Fanning says this,
with the independent cross-auger control launched last year, will give more flexibility during filling. 

The optional powered grain tank covers are also controlled from the cab.
