TITLE GENERAL INFORMATION
Introduction
For 30-years, the Case IH Axial-Flow
to which all other combines have been compared. And for 30-years,
no other combine has measured up to the Case IH Axial-Flow.
The axial rotor concept of threshing and separating has been delivering
more, top-quality grain to the tank than any other system. Gentle grain-on-
grain threshing, the flexibility of multiple rotor, and concave and separator
grate configurations makes the Axial-Flow at home in the corn and beans
of the Midwest, sunflowers, cereal and oil grains, rice, and hard-threshing
grass seed.
Since its introduction, 17 models of Axial-Flow combines have entered the
market. As with any successful product line, good business dictates that if
you have something good, see if you can make it better. The Axial-Flow has
followed that nugget of wisdom, resulting in new productivity and quality
enhancing features like the AFX rotor and the CrossFlow cleaning system.
Computer technology has found its way into combines, with the integration
of AFS Precision Farming and combine monitoring features; along with
"smart" controls for headers, operator environment, engines, and a host of
other features.
Today's Model 2577 and 2588 Axial-Flow Combines bring more power
and productivity to the field than their predecessors, with 290 and 325
horsepower engines, the muscle to work grain heads up to 36', and
12-row corn heads in the best yielding crops and toughest conditions.
