CASE IH AXIAL-FLOW 260™

3 models with powers between 468 and 625 HP
The new Case IH Axial-Flow® 260 series combines integrate the latest technology – subscription free – with the proven Axial-Flow design that producers have trusted for decades. With Pro 1200 dual displays, Harvest Command™ combine automation and all-new RowGuide Pro™, you will experience a new level of harvest performance and productivity.

Case IH Axial-Flow combines have set the standard for grain quality and unsurpassed efficiency and productivity. We worked with our customers to purposefully design a machine that incorporates the latest in harvest technology to take your harvest to the next level. Each technological advancement in the Axial-Flow 260 series combine is seamlessly integrated into its operation. And with Harvest Command, we take the guesswork out of your harvest. For you, it means a harvest like no other.

Purposefully designed to be a simplified and streamlined all-in-one operations management solution, FieldOps will empower owners and operators to manage and visualize their entire fleet at anytime from anywhere. 

Case IH FieldOps will replace AFS Connect. If you already have an AFS Connect account, your information will transition automatically.

Harvest Corn with Ease
Harvest Corn with Ease
The Axial-Flow 260 combine merges technology with function. Our all new RowGuide Pro combines GPS with advanced sensor technology for seamless row tracking, even through breaks in standing corn, like waterways.

Enhanced steering ensures increased accuracy while moving through the field, keeping your harvest on-row and on-target.

For the operator, it means more time focusing on other aspects of your harvest. Less stress in the field means a smoother, more productive harvest.
Next-Generation Track System
Next-Generation Track System
The new ActiveTrac four-roller hydraulic suspended track system on the Axial-Flow 260 Series combine offers a wider footprint, reducing compaction and increasing flotation by 14 percent over fixed-track models.  Sensors on the track system’s cylinders constantly adjust to field conditions and grain tank load to ensure consistent flotation throughout the working day. 
Automate Your Harvest
Automate Your Harvest
Harvest Command lets you take control of your harvest. Using advanced sensors strategically located throughout the combine, Harvest Command automatically adjusts settings to ensure an efficient harvest. Regardless of the time of day, crop conditions or moisture levels, the Harvest Command combine automation system is always working for you. Each automation mode prioritizes different harvesting outcomes — from grain quality to grain savings to throughput. Choose the mode of automation to match your harvesting goals. Then set the crop type, maximum operating speed and power limits and Harvest Command takes over from there.
All-Day Comfort
All-Day Comfort
We know harvest demands long hours in the cab. And while the technology in our Axial-Flow 260 Series combine will make your harvest more productive and less stressful, operator comfort remains a top priority.

With one of the largest and quietest cabs among combine manufacturers, the Axial-Flow cab gives you industry-leading glass and unsurpassed sightlines so you can keep an eye on the entire header. With its ergonomic and intuitive design, you get maximized comfort and productivity.  

  • New heated, ventilated and massaging seat with adjustable seat support, air bolsters, lumbar adjustments, and a red leather instructor seat.
  • Have control at your fingertips with the multifunction handle and the Pro 1200 dual displays, with most of your controls on the right-hand console.
  • The cab is your mobile office, with USB ports, a cell phone holder, and AM/FM/Bluetooth® weather band radio or optional upgraded AM/FM/CD/Bluetooth radio. The instructional seat backrest folds down into a work surface.
  • Enjoy better visibility with standard halogen stadium lighting and optional upgraded light packages.
  • LED lighting gives you maximum visibility for long days that stretch into night.
  • A portable electric refrigerator keeps food and drinks cool from home to field.
Harvesting High-Quality Grain
Harvesting High-Quality Grain
High-capacity combines need high-capacity cleaning systems. Axial-Flow combines match cleaning system capacity to the size of the machine, providing superior productivity, grain sample quality and savings. The patented design of the Cross Flow™ cleaning system fan delivers consistently clean grain samples no matter the harvest condition. 

  • Self-leveling Cleaning System (SLS): The self-leveling sieves allow up to 12 percent slope each way. An in-cab, adjustable pre-sieve allows the operator to make adjustments on the go to maximize grain quality. 
  • Tri-Sweep™ Tailings Processor: Using three sets of impellers, the processor gently re-threshes and elevates the tailings, returning them back to the active grain pan for final cleaning. This results in higher capacity, increased efficiency and improved grain quality.
  • Active Grain Pan: Increases efficiency by separating the grain and other material through reciprocating action before reaching the cleaning system.
  • Cross Flow Fan: After entering the fan, a vortex is created, which super charges the air flow, giving a full-balanced flow across the entire sieve. Air enters the full width of the fan from the top — not the sides — resulting in superior air flow.
Options to Fit Your Operation
Options to Fit Your Operation
The two-speed electric shift ground drive transmission increases tractive effort and reduces the need to stop and shift in field or on the road. Wider speed ranges provide more power for climbing hills  and in challenging ground conditions. An optional differential lock further improves traction and performance. These combines are equipped with closed-loop sensing which ensures constant speed control plus an economy mode for fuel savings.

Our industry-exclusive Power Plus™ CVT drive provides reduced complexity and maintenance, while the PTO gear case design ensures pumps and drives are operating efficiently throughout the entire rpm range.

Our patented header to feeder ground speed automatically matches header speed to ground speed with in-cab electronic variable feeder speed control, optimizing grain savings in down-corn conditions. Header and feeder automatically adapt to combine speed and put more grain in your tank.
Handle Even Tough Residue
Handle Even Tough Residue
The Case IH residue management system handles tough residue in all crop conditions and delivers consistency across the larger header widths used on the Axial-Flow 260 series combines. This prepares the ground for next year’s crop and can create consistent windrow formations and long straw for baling.  

  • Rotor Discharge Deflector: Positioned directly behind the rotor, providing a central feeding point and deflecting residue toward the chopper. The deflectors can be adjusted either from in-cab or the right-hand side of the combine by a pin that can be placed into four different positions.
  • Windrow Chute: Two residue modes (spread and windrow) provide options to meet your residue requirements, with an in-cab chop-to-swath option available for the vertical spreader package.
  • Chopper: Blades are mounted in a spiral pattern, with seven separate chopper/residue options to match your requirements, including a factory-installed X-tra Chop; a small-grains residue package for increased residue chop and sizing.
  • Hydraulically Driven Spreader: Hydraulically driven residue spreaders are adjustable in-cab for on-the-go speed control. Spreading width is easily adjusted manually by moving the dovetail in the center up or down.
Durable for Even the Most Challenging Conditions
Durable for Even the Most Challenging Conditions
A durable feeder house handles even the most demanding crop conditions. The feeder top shaft drive coupler features a crown spline design for greatly improved durability. A simple, two-piece feeder floor design increases durability and improves crop feeding. Plus, up to 13,500 pounds in lift capacity handles even the largest chopping corn head on the market.
