Axial Flwo 260 Series
Axial Flow 260
Case IH Axial-Flow 260 Series Combines
The Case IH Axial-Flow 260 Series is a range of high-capacity single-rotor combines engineered for broadacre growers and contractors who demand reliable performance, premium grain quality and advanced automation without the complexity of subscription fees. Built on the proven Axial-Flow® design with modern technology enhancements, the 260 Series delivers efficient crop flow, strong throughput and operator-friendly controls across a wide range of harvest conditions.
Powerful & Efficient Harvest Performance
Each 260 Series model features robust engines tuned for sustained field performance. With horsepower ranging from Class 7 through Class 9, these combines confidently handle wide headers, heavy crops and long harvest days while maintaining efficient fuel use and consistent threshing across cereals, oilseeds and pulses.
Proven Axial-Flow Technology
The single-rotor Axial-Flow® threshing and separation system provides smooth crop flow with gentle handling, reduced grain damage and excellent cleaning performance. A straight-through crop path minimizes transitions and maximises separation efficiency at high throughput rates.
Advanced Automation & Displays
Standard Harvest Command™ combine automation continuously adjusts key settings—such as rotor speed, fan speed and sieve positions—to optimise performance in real time. Dual Pro 1200 displays provide clear, high-visibility monitoring and control of harvest functions, grain quality imaging and machine data, helping operators work smarter and longer with less fatigue.
Comfort & Operator Focus
Spacious, ergonomic cabs with excellent visibility, intuitive controls and industry-leading displays make long days behind the wheel more productive and comfortable. Lighting packages and in-cab conveniences support early starts and late finishes during peak harvest windows.
Built for Reliability & Uptime
With heavy-duty driveline components, easy-access service points and efficient power transmission systems, the 260 Series is designed for uptime and durability. Large grain tanks and high unload rates help minimise interruptions, keeping you harvesting when it matters most.
