To help farmers harvest more acres with every engine hour, Case IH is launching the new AF9 and AF10 combines, redesigned from the ground up, to maximize capacity and crop flow with efficient horsepower, simplified maintenance and connectivity built-in at base.
The single-rotor AF9 and AF10 combines complete the new AF series, which launched earlier in 2024 with the AF11 – a Class 10+, high-capacity powerhouse. The revolutionary combine series features three models across Class 9 and 10+ to help farmers cover more acres in less time with power, efficiency and throughput.
“We know the harvesting challenges farmers face each year and know how critical it is to make each day as productive as the next,” said Leo Bose, harvesting segment lead at Case IH. “The AF9 and AF10 live up to the challenge.”
The AF9’s 634 horsepower and the AF10’s 775 horsepower provide the power to maximize crop flow while increasing speeds, taxing the machines less. Built upon the legacy of Axial-Flow single-rotor technology, the AFXL rotor of the AF9 and AF10 is 40 percent longer than the 260 series, offering increased throughput. Grain handling capacity is maximized and matched from header to spreader to harvest more with every engine hour.
“We are hyper-focused on delivering solutions that make our customers’ lives easier and their operations more productive,” said Bose. “That's why we built the AF series combines with industry-leading matched capacity and why we are delivering more precision technology at base than ever before.”
The AF series offers a full suite of precision technology, including dual Pro 1200 displays, Harvest Command combine automation and RowGuide Pro technologies. Additionally, the introduction of Connectivity Included* leverages subscription-free connectivity, feeding yield and machine data directly to Case IH FieldOps — providing farmers with a comprehensive management solution across their entire operation. These features are purposefully designed to create a customer experience that delivers peace of mind through a simplified harvest season.
“We've dubbed 2024 the ‘Year of the Combine’ thanks to the wide range of combines we offer at Case IH, which is now the largest combine lineup in the industry,” said Bose. “From Class 6 to Class 10+, farmers can find the perfect harvesting partner for their operation at Case IH.”
In addition to the launch of the AF9 and AF10, Case IH is offering a new corn head series that pairs with the AF series and late model Axial-Flow combines for the ultimate harvesting package.
The C500 series corn head, which is built on the durability and reliability growers expect from Case IH, ensures peak productivity with independent drive lines for row unit and chopper drives. The series offers options to meet nearly any grower’s needs, including sizes from eight to 18 rows, chopping and non-chopping options, and narrow or standard-row configurations that boost grain savings and performance with clean and fast picking, even in downed corn.
