It is here... the next generation of combines from Case IH. The newly released AF11 is stirring up conversation in the ag community... and for good reason. The AF Series is Case IH’s highest-ever total capacity combine, packed with technology, automation, and connectivity. High-Capacity = High-Efficiency And we mean high-capacity: • 7 75 HP • C lass 10+ • 3 96-gallon fuel tank • 5 67-bushel grain tank size • 6 bushel per second unload rate “Efficiency is the name of the game with AF11, and you will see that we take overall engine RPM of 2100 PM and actually drop that down to 1900 RPM, saving us additional fuel,” explains Leo Bose, Marketing Manager of North America for Harvesting Products at Case IH. The grain tank provides an impressive 39 percent increase in capacity than previous models and it only takes 100 seconds to unload when full. It is equipped with a two-speed grain elevator which can be operated at 8,300-bushels per hour or 10,000-bushels per hour... without compromising the quality of the grain. Case IH also redesigned its cleaning system for higher crop throughput, making it 45 percent larger than previous models. • 1 3 percent larger Cross Flow Plus cleaning fan • F our-sieve cleaning system • T wo clean-grain cross augers • I ncreased accuracy with a single point yield calibration “We [Case IH] talk about how we deliver purposeful solutions, which points back to how we say we are built by farmers. There is purpose behind everything that we design,” Kurt Coffey, Vice President, North America at Case IH told Farms.com Precision Ag Digital Digest. The largest, the most powerful, the largest grain tank in the industry... And what’s the purpose behind that solution? Well, the purpose is to be able to fit a tighter window, to be able to have the highest productivity for growing farms that need to get their crop in and out.” Making A Case for Leading Harvest Technology The AF11 Series is equipped with technologies to make your life easier. Let us start with rotor tech. The new AFXL2 dual rotor technology, equipped with six concave modules and 12 separating modules, enables a larger total threshing and separating area. The longer rotor boasts 50 percent more separation over previous models. 18 REVOLUTIONIZING HARVEST: CASE IH AF11 SERIES Introducing the next generation in high-capacity farming RYAN RIDLEY MANAGING EDITOR
