- The AF Series will maximise productivity through matched capacity and built-in technology
To help farmers harvest more hectares with every engine hour, Case IH has revealed its new AF9 and AF10 combines, redesigned from the ground up, to maximise capacity and crop flow with efficient horsepower, simplified maintenance and connectivity built-in at base.
Arriving in Australia in limited numbers for the 2025 harvest, the revolutionary combine series will feature two new models across Class 9 and 10 to help farmers cover more hectares in less time with enhanced 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 Marc Smith, Crop Harvesting Portfolio Manager for ANZ. “The AF9 and AF10 will live up to the challenge.”
The AF9’s 634 horsepower and the AF10’s 775 horsepower will provide the power to maximise crop flow while increasing speeds, but without putting any additional pressure on the machine. Built upon the legacy of Axial-Flow single-rotor technology, the AFXL rotor of the AF9 and AF10 will be 40% longer than the 250 series, offering increased throughput. Grain-handling capacity will be enhanced with a 16,000L grain tank on the AF9, 20,000L on the AF10, 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,” Marc said. “That's why we will be building 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 will offer a full suite of precision technology, including dual Pro 1200 displays, Harvest Command™ combine automation, and connectivity.
Australian customers may have the opportunity to see early production units in field during the 2024 harvest. For more information, contact your local Case IH dealer or visit caseih.com.au.
