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.

Lyrics:

My days begin with workin’, Alarm’s at 5 o’clock,
I Fill 5 gallon buckets, The feeders and the troughs,
This five to nine ain’t workin’, why the heck do I work so hard?,
I can’t worry ‘bout health problems, I can sleep in when I’m gone,

One, here comes the two to the three to the four,
Tell em’ ‘buy another cow, we need plenty more’,
Blue jeans are gettin’ dirty, what else could I ask for,
Oh my, more chores

Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history,
There’s another flock of sheep that still needs feed,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

I’ve been working pretty stressed but,
I ain’t changing for some cash,
Lord knows that I’m very blessed (More chores),
But I gotta say it’s hard,
Workin’ outside gettin’ charred,
Living out here on the farm, (more chores)

One, here comes the two to the three to the four,
Tell em’ ‘buy another cow, we need plenty more’,
Blue jeans are gettin’ dirty, what else could I ask for,
Oh my, more chores

Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history
There’s another 20 chickens that still need feed,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

Everybody on the farm getting’ busy,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

Fun, here on ranch that’s what you can’t ignore,
Might be pretty hard but I love it to its core,
Flannel’s gettin’ dirty, what else could I ask for,
Oh my, more chores (Tell ‘em sing with me)

Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history,
There’s another flock of sheep that still needs feed,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history,
Watching cattle in the dark, don’t miss me,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
(Yeeeeeehaw)
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
It’s the best bro, go get yourself a farm
