Case IH Axial-Flow® combines lead the industry with carefully matched systems that ensure productivity. With the fewest drive components and longer service intervals, Axial-Flow combines are engineered for simplicity and reliability. Six models offer maximum productivity in every combine class.
Axial-Flow Combines
Case IH launched the first single-rotor Axial-Flow® combine in 1977. Thanks to the simple and reliable design, more than 30 years later, single-rotor technology still leads the industry. Six core principles drive AFX Axial-Flow rotor design:
Simplicity - Fewer moving parts for better reliability and easy service
Grain Quality - Gentle grain-on-grain threshing minimizes grain damage
Grain Savings - Through thorough threshing and efficient separation
Crop Adaptability - Harvests more than 80 types of grains in many conditions
Matched Capacity - Matched systems optimize crop flow and productivity
Resale Value - Impressive resale value maximizes your investment
Feeders
Controlling crop flow is key to harvesting success, and it starts with delivery of the crop from the header to the rotor. Axial-Flow® combine feeders promote a thick crop mat and are sized to match combine capacity - both threshing/separating capacity and throughput requirements of each combine model. Axial-Flow matched capacity:
Ensures smooth, consistent crop flow into the machine and improves productivity
Provides maximum capacity and grain recovery
Threshing/Seperating
The patented transition cone with impeller system on the front of the Axial-Flow® AFX rotor smoothly accelerates the crop mat, promoting positive material flow with less impact damage - and superior threshing and separating performance.
Grain Cleaning
All Axial-Flow® combines lead the industry in cleaning system size, grain quality and grain savings, and offer:
Cleaning systems that match the capacity of the combine
A Cross-Flow® cleaning fan that delivers clean grain samples
Exceptional grain quality, ideal for food-grade crops and crops grown for seed
Grain Handerling/Residue Management
Large grain tanks, longer augers, faster unloading speeds and quick-folding, no-tools-required extensions are standard on all Axial-Flow® models, so you can unload on-the-go in comfort for maximum productivity. Residue management systems can tailor residue to your tillage and livestock demands.
Chassis
The 5088, 6088 and 7088 models are based on the renowned Case IH heritage chassis, for growers who prefer the simplicity of the previous 2577 and 2588 platforms, but require additional capacity.
The redesigned chassis on 88 Series combines offers increased strength, and shares common styling with 20 Series combines. The entire Case IH Axial-Flow® combine family shares a modern, family look.
Engines
Axial-Flow® combines are powered by proven, reliable, fuel-efficient engines, from the same engine families you'll find in Steiger® and Magnum™ tractors. They're powerful, turbocharged and aftercooled, Tier III compliant and approved for bio-diesel blends.
Drive Systems
Axial-Flow® 20 Series combines feature exclusive Power Plus Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) drives - with a dedicated drive for the rotor and a separate drive for the feeder.
Ground Drive
Electronic shift, four-speed transmissions on 20 Series models overlap speeds between gears, to better match torque to machine load.
Cab/Controls/Lighting
The Axial-Flow® combine cab is designed for productivity and comfort, right down to the ergonomic console layout with color-coded controls. An industry-leading glass area gives you unsurpassed sight lines, and panoramic views of the entire header.
AFS
The standard AFS® yield and moisture system on Axial-Flow® combines includes a:
Moisture sensor that measures moisture levels and grain temperature
Flow sensor that measures the flow of grain in the elevator
All Axial-Flow combines can be equipped with the Case IH AFS AccuGuide™ autoguidance system, including:
AFS Pro 600 display - for precision farming and Automatic Crop Setting control
Navigation II Controller - mounted inside the cab, receives data from the user, satellites, correction signals and steering inputs
AFS 262 GPS Receiver - provides signals for differential correction
Maintenance
Maintenance is easy on Axial-Flow® combines:
Convenient access to essential areas such as hydraulics, batteries, filters and the grain tank
Fewer belts and chains to adjust and maintain
Side inspection doors and service lights
Non-skid surfaces on all platforms
Transmission cases and gear boxes include site gauges
On 20 Series combines, the Power Plus Drive dramatically reduces routine maintenance:
Three drive chains
No daily or 100-hour lube points that require servicing
Five belts on standard machines and six belts when equipped with a chopper

- Single concentric moving part for threshing and separating requires fewer adjustments and less maintenance than conventional machines
- Efficiently moves material through the rotor cage - regardless of crop or conditions - to maintain crop flow and crop control
- Multiple-pass threshing and 360 degree centrifugal-force separation results in:
- More complete, gentle threshing
- Increased grain separation
- Less damage to fragile kernels
- Smooth uninterrupted crop flow:
- Reduces horsepower demands
- Decreases fuel use
- Reduces wear on threshing components
Optional Small Tube Rotor
