More effective grain separation with higher crop throughputs is achieved with the HX+ Rasp Bars working in its all-new stepped rotor cage to loosen the crop mat. Case IH’s customizable automation harvesting system, AFS Harvest Command, is standard on all AF11 combines. You can choose from four modes of automation depending on your needs. Case IH defines each mode below: • Performance: Maximize grain savings and grain quality while optimizing throughput. • Grain quality: Maximize grain quality while saving grain and optimizing throughput. • Max throughput: The operator can maximize throughput while automation adjusts combine settings to save grain. • Fixed throughput: The operator can fix the machine throughput and the machine will adjust to save grain and maintain a quality sample. Not one but two AFS Pro 1200 displays are in the cab. Residue management was not overlooked either. After all, field preparation for next year’s crop begins at harvest. “Machine automation allows us to fully adjust this combine automatically and we are taking it one step further. We are including automation within our cleaning system as well as residue,” explains Bose. The automated residue management system compensates for a uniform spread, even when it is windy. Operators can also adjust chop quality and chop/swath control from the cab. “Residue automation now allows us to automatically adjust that residue spread with radar. Radar spread automation, whether it is sunny, dusty, or a clear day, we can see the spread which the machine automatically adjusts,” Bose adds. Precision is not lost with high-capacity harvesting, especially with Case IH’s Advanced Farming Systems (AFS). The AF11 Series are equipped with an AFS Connect subscription, which allows you to share field and crop data remotely. As part of that subscription, you will also be able to share real-time data across multiple pieces of equipment, including A/B guidance with AFS AccuSync. An auto guidance system, AFS AccuGuide, enables sub-inch accuracy to maintain row positioning. “We look at our AF11 Series delivering on that capacity, that technology and ultimate runtime. The Axial Flow combine has really set the stage for the last 46 years going in the 47th year. The AF11 delivers on that,” Bose concludes.
