  • The next-generation Case IH Axial-Flow combine has been awarded the prestigious Red Dot Design Award for its innovative product design.

  • This new model features significant advancements including a 775hp engine, an active dynamic cleaning system, a 20,000-litre grain tank, and a 210 litres/second unloading rate.

  • It is equipped with AFS Harvest Command technology, enhancing performance to minimize losses, maximize throughput, and maintain grain quality.

  • The combine's external redesign introduces a futuristic look, distinguishing it as a new class within the Axial-Flow range.

  • The design team from Case IH and CNH will be honored at the Red Dot: Best of the Best ceremony in Essen, Germany, on June 24.

Major advances in the new AF include a 775hp engine, an active dynamic cleaning system, 20,000-litre grain tank, 210 litres/second unloading rate and headers of up to 15m (50ft). Users benefit from performance-enhancing technology including AFS Harvest Command, to minimize losses, maximize throughput and protect grain quality, helping experienced users get even more from their combine, and inexperienced ones quickly become proficient operators, to assist in tackling labour challenges.

The new technology is packaged within a fresh Axial-Flow style that introduced a new look to the range, designed to show that this is a very different class of combine. The design team from Case IH and its parent CNH will receive the Red Dot Design award for the AF at a special ‘Red Dot: Best of the Best’ ceremony, to be held at the Aalto Theater in Essen, Germany, on June 24.

“We wanted to create a look that showed this combine is much more than a refresh of existing ideas in terms of internal engineering, and is something really very different. I’m really pleased the Red Dot jury recognized our efforts to create a style that matches the Axial-Flow AF’s considerable substance.”
