Case IH takes home seven AE50 awards

Highlighting the company's commitment to innovation in the agricultural sector, Case IH emerged as a standout winner in the AE50 awards, presented by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE). Case IH earned seven AE50 awards for its advanced products, solidifying its reputation as a leader in agricultural engineering. 

The award-winning products include the AF Series Combines, Axial-Flow® 260 Series Combines, C500 Series Corn Heads, Automatic Productivity Management 2.0 for Magnum™ Tractors, Steiger® Quadtrac Heavy-Duty Suspension, Large Square Baler Automation, and the Modular Tramline System for the Early Riser® 2160 48 Row 20-inch Large Front-Fold Planter. 

“These product innovations recognized by ASABE are a reflection of our commitment to serve farmers with solutions to boost their efficiency and productivity,” said Kurt Coffey, Vice President Case IH North America. “We are honored to be presented, once again, with AE50 awards for engineering and technology innovation across our portfolio of products.” 

The expansion of Case IH's combine lineup with the introduction of the Axial-Flow 260 Series and the new AF series is designed to meet diverse farming needs. These combines feature integrated, subscription-free technology, enhancing operator experience while maximizing efficiency in grain handling. The AF series combines, redesigned for optimal capacity, crop flow, and ease of maintenance, provide increased power and throughput, helping farmers cover more acres faster. 

Case IH also introduced the C500 series corn heads, perfectly paired with the new combines for improved grain performance and durability. In baling, the Large Square Baler Automation system uses LiDAR technology to automate speed and steering, improving efficiency and ease for hay producers. 

Additionally, the Steiger Quadtrac’s Heavy-Duty Suspension offers enhanced productivity with faster transport speeds and reduced soil compaction. The Magnum tractors feature Automatic Productivity Management 2.0, optimizing fuel use and minimizing engine strain. 

Finally, the Modular Tramline System in the Early Riser planter increases productivity and reduces the risk of damaging crops by minimizing unnecessary tramlines.

WHY IS THE ORTHMAN STALK PULLr A TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW?

IDEAL PREPARATION FOR ANY CROP
The Orthman Stalk PULLr is the perfect residue management and seedbed preparation tool for multiple crops including corn, cotton, milo and sunflowers. With multiple adjustment options, the tool can pull the entire root ball or be set to just cut the stalk off at the root ball crown.

HIGH-SPEED STALK REMOVAL
In one pass the Stalk PULLr removes weeds and crop residue to dry the soil faster for better planter pass and uniform emergence. 24-inch ground-driven cutting discs require low H.P. at operation speeds up to 12 M.P.H., allowing you to cover more acres with less fuel.

MAINTENANCE FREE, WORRY FREE
The Orthman Stalk Pullr has self-lubricating composite greaseless bushings in the row unit parallel linkage eliminating daily maintenance, helping you stay in the field covering more acres.
