When it comes to harvesting heritage, no other
company comes close to matching this companys earliest
roots from founders Cyrus McCormick and Jerome Increase
Case. In the 1840s, the McCormick reaper and the Case
thresher revolutionized the mechanical harvesting process.
As a result, harvesting equipment became the cornerstone
for the company.
About a century later, engineers at International
Harvester began developing a single-rotor combine. In
1977, the rst Axial-Flow
®
combine debuted as an
innovative breakthrough in harvesting higher-quality grain.
A decade later, the 100,000th Axial-Flow combine rolled
off the assembly line as a tribute to the popular and proven
performance of the single-rotor design. Today, Case IH
again advances the industry with the latest improvements
to the 2300 Series Axial-Flow combine, including the
new AFX rotor and direct-ow cooling package.
The timeline below highlights the Axial-Flow
combines history:
A specialty rotor is introduced to provide
superior performance in tough conditions,
including tough-stemmed beans and rice.
Model 1480 is introduced, with
rated engine hp of 190 (142 kW).
Research and testing begins on the
rotary combine concept at International
Harvesters facility in East Moline,
Illinois. Engineers believe the simplicity
of the single-rotor design is a signicant
advance over existing combines.
1977
1960s
The 1600 Series is introduced. It offers high-
er horsepower, increased elevator capacity,
and a new optional header and feeder revers-
er. Capacity increases by 70 percent on
models 1640 and 1660. The rated engine hp
on the largest model 1680 is 225 (168 kW).
A higher capacity cleaning system
is introduced for the 1680 model.

The Field Tracker option is
offered to keep headers level
on rolling terrain.
The rst Axial-Flow combine is intro-
duced. The 1400 Series innovative rotary
technology is a clear breakthrough in
grain harvesting. Rated engine hp on the
1460 is 170 (127 kW).

(209 kW). The 100,000th Axial-Flow
combine rolls off the assembly line.
Axial-Flow combines celebrate their
25th year of productivity. New head-
ers are introduced the 2015

with a 12-row corn head.
A new AFX rotor debuts for 2388
(model year 2003) along with an
efcient inline cooling system.

The 2377 Model Axial-Flow
combine replaces the 2366. The
2377 offers greater productivity
to the Class V combine customer.
2005
2003
The AFX 8010 Series is introduced.
The new AFX rotor delivers increased
capacity and threshing performance,
while an industry-leading Power Plus
drive system provides variable header
and feeder speed control.
CIH3260511_2300_F1.qxd 9/6/05 11:53 AM Page 3 Case IH Axial-Flow combines have proven to be a leader in grain quality. Thanks to the
gentle, multiple-pass grain-on-grain threshing and separating system, grain handling is supe-
rior. The patented Cross-Flow cleaning system carefully cleans and recovers whole kernels for
maximum grain savings.
Designed to harvest a variety of crops under many conditions, the highly adaptable
Axial-Flow combine is a truly versatile all-crop machine. Its also a very simple design
with fewer moving parts than competitive models for easy maintenance.
A Case IH Axial-Flow combine continues to control crop ow through each system for
optimal matched capacity that leads to greater productivity.

To prove the superior grain quality of the Axial-Flow design, consider these impressive results from a
major food-grade corn processor.
The average for cracked and broken (C&B) kernels in yellow corn was 2.74% for all combine models,
including competitive machines. Seven different Axial-Flow models out-performed all other machines as well as
beat the C&B average with a range of just 2.14% to 2.64%.
In white corn, the processors average for cracked and broken (C&B) kernels was 2.54% for all combine
models. Again, Axial-Flow combines topped the list for best grain quality, outperforming the average with eight
models ranging from 2.00% to 2.52%.
In both yellow and white corn results, competitive combines came in behind Axial-Flow models and above the
processors average for cracked and broken kernels.
Clearly, the Case IH Axial-Flow design outperforms industry standards as well as competitive combines to give
you greater prot potential by harvesting premium-quality grain.

Yellow Food-grade Corn Results
During the fall 2004 harvest, official grain receipts from a major food-grade corn processor in the
Midwest show seven of the top ten combine models delivering top quality premium grain were
AXIAL-FLOW Combines. The plant average for cracked and broken kernels (C&B) was 2.74% for
all combine models. The AXIAL-FLOW Combines not only topped the list for grain quality, but
the following models ranked in the top ten and out-performed the plant average with the

were AXIAL-FLOW Combines. The plant average for C&B was 2.54% for all combine models.
Once again, the AXIAL-FLOW Combines dominated the list for grain quality and out-performed
the plant average with the following numbers by model:

The rotor itself is really what sets the Axial-Flow combine
apart from all other designs when it comes to superior grain
quality. The single, in-line design offers gentle, multiple-pass
threshing. The rasp bar conguration allows more grain-on-
grain threshing, which is the hallmark of the Axial-Flow design.
Crop material spirals rearward, remaining in the
threshing section longer than with conventional cylinder-and-
concave systems. The result is more-complete threshing and
more grain in the tank with less damage to fragile seeds.
The new AFX rotor features enhanced graduated
pitch impeller inlet ighting that smoothly moves crop from the
feeder house to the rotor cage and transitions crop into the
threshing elements.
A smoother, uninterrupted crop ow means more-consistent
delivery that reduces peak horsepower demands and the overall
wear-rate of threshing components. Best of all, this gives the AFX
rotor improved throughput capacity of up to 25%, especially in
tough crop and harvesting conditions.
With just a single moving part for threshing and
separating, the rotor design is extremely simple and reliable.
Compared to 16 moving parts in a conventional machine
with straw walkers, the Axial-Flow means fewer adjustments
and less maintenance.
The AFX rotor also creates a powerful vacuum to move
dust away from the feeder house and cab for better visibility to
the header.
The AFX rotor is available in four congurations
grain, corn, rice and extended wear. Owners of earlier
model Axial-Flow combines with 24´ and 30´ diameter
rotors can upgrade to the AFX rotor, instantly improving
their machines performance.
Ask your dealer about the new AFX rotor on industry-
leading 2377 and 2388 Axial-Flow combines.
